Going through the detritus of my life
Contents of my uppermost dresser drawer:
- instructions for a digital camera that stopped working three years ago
- baptism candle
- butter tub full of shells
- POGS
- home-made toy parachute
- three commemorative baseballs, commemorating when the Orioles actually won things
- jaw harp I bought at Valley Forge and never learned to play
- glasses from the fourth grade (holy God)
- Armitron collectible Garfield watch
- Disney World autograph book
- button that says Jesus loves me
- Garfield yoyo
- beaded frog thing (my first craft)
- tooth fairy box
- nightlight light bulb (no actual nightlight)
- about 12 rocks
- desk toy of a rocking silver stick guy on a horse
- wooden flute I never learned to play
- film canister which once housed a home-made Girl Scout first aid kit
- the last page of Pat the Bunny
- The Night Before Christmas pop-up book
- a dolphin picture frame from Rehobeth beach (no picture)
- ribbony headband from the second grade, now unravelling (no wonder I got made fun of)
- tag for Beanie Baby knockoff, since lost
- thin white gloves, sized for fourth grade hands
- case for a dream catcher necklace I loved in middle school
- magnetic whiteboard that hung in my high school locker
I still have about six more drawers to go.
