Ever tried to find something you know you have, but have no idea where you put it when you last moved? I moved to this particular house three years ago. Many items styed in boxes and were shelved in the garage. Most of the stuff belonged there…holiday decorations, sports equipment, lawn tools, collections of stuff that had no where else to go.

I’m currently trying to find some purses. I remember the last box they were in, but apparently I moved them from that box. They never made it into the house, which is were they should be. In particular, I’m looking for two Coach purses. Not for them. Inside the Coach purses are some evening purses. One is a vintage black velvet purse. So far I haven’t been able to identify any box that may contain them. Nearly every box is marked. Of course, I can’t get to every box because there’s an aisle (yes, an aisle) of stuff to get rid of. It’s a pain to move it.

I look over the shelves, and I see box after box labeled “xmas.” How many boxes of xmas crap do I really need? I have no idea what is in some of those. All ornaments over the years have made it into clear plastic containers. So what is in those brown boxes? I have no clue. Honestly, I’m afraid to find out. After seeing half a dozen “xmas” boxes, the next half dozen makes my head spin. It’s probably more stuff for the “get rid of aisle.”

If I get a spark of where to look, I may venture out to the garage again. I hate to. I typically don’t even look around when I go to my car. I ignore the mess, but it’s absolutely horrible. I’m looking at having someone else possibly see my garage. I’m dreading it already.
