Guess what Laurel did tonight

Wasted three hours looking for sticky magnets, that's what!

Murphy say: Whenever you're looking for something, you'll find tons of other things you weren't even looking for first.

The story: I have these magnets all over my refrigerator that have the alphabet on them, so you can spell out words. The fridge has had, "Happy 30th Birthday Laurel" on it since last March XD, so I decided it was time for a change. I tried to spell out, "Before you die, you see the ring," but there weren't enough E's, so I had to turn a W on its side. Then I thought why struggle to find letters when I can just make more. I bought these magnets years ago that are sticky on one side, so you can stick your business card on them. Only problem is, they were put away in a box in the storage room. A bee flew up my butt and I braved the storage room to find them! Looked through about 12 boxes before I found 'em too. Now I can print out more letters, stick them on the magnets, and put 'em on the fridge. Plenty of E's then!

Things I wasn't looking for that I found anyway while searching for the magnets:

  • All my make-up (Jen! If you're reading this, I found the lip gloss I was wearing in that picture! XD It's Natural Wonder Electric Lip Gloss, Power Pink. Good luck finding it after all these years; I bought it over 10 years ago. XD)
  • Red sock still looking for its mate
  • My Styx "Greatest Hits" CD (how the hell did that get in there??!! XD)
  • Long-ass clipboard, which will come in handy
  • 5 purple legal pads of paper (will also come in handy)
  • My stuffed wolf that makes karate sounds when you press his tummy XD "Hiiiiiii-YA!"
  • Really ugly Beanie Kid named Ginger (why'd I buy this thing?)
  • My travel kit (yaaaay, I was actually wondering where that was)
  • About 2 million candles
  • My writing trophy (they apparently give trophies for writing! Cultural Arts Fair)
  • Other assorted junk


And I now have another New Year's Resolution.

-Clean out the storage room. If I do one box a week, I can get it done... but it's already a hard res to keep, for so many reasons. :P

Yes Kaye, I put a real lamp in that room. Now I can leave the door open all the time. ^_^

extreme organization!
