A fake pirate water pistol 

 

 

Three bottles of puffy paint 

 

A smashed origami cube 

 

A broken photo album with pictures from camp when I was 13 

 

A few folders of schoolwork from 6th grade 

 

A ridiculous amount of stuffed animals 

 

Three blankets I swear I’ve never seen before 

 

Some seriously ugly clothes 

Three different copies of ‘The Complete Sherlock Holmes’ 

 

Two bottles of perfume I’ve never seen before 

 

Birthday cards from age 7 and up 

 

A ‘Thank You’ card from a wedding two years ago, unopened 

 

Pictures of my Mom that made me cry so hard I ruined a few 

 

Two video game cases for games I haven’t seen in years 

 

Three different gift cards for Target, yay! 

 

Zero gift cards for bookstores, boo 

 

A Christmas stocking for my cat 

 

Enough safety pins to make a full suit of chain mail 

 

About 500 dried up ink pens and broken pencils 

 

About half-dozen pictures that have never been hung 

 

Two plastic swords 

 

About a thousand dust jackets from my hardback books- I just can’t seem to throw them away. 

 

Almost as many bookmarks as I have books- and that’s saying something! 

 

And now I have to move it all… gah.
