Let’s play.

.

Just in case you’re bored and have nothing better to do.

.

.

We have a closet next to our hutch.

.

.

And like the junk drawer in our kitchen, it’s my guilty secret. When I don’t know what to do something, or other proper storage areas are full?

I cram it in the closet of shame.

.

.

There are tools and Tupperware.

Batteries and basting sauce.

Flashlights and flour.

Mayonnaise and markers.

A crockpot and crazy glue.

There’s no rhyme or reason…wood stain is next to beef broth and egg noodles rest on a tube of epoxy.

Once a year I organize and rearrange, but it doesn’t last long. Chaos wins every time.

And if the shelves are nuts, the tiny floor isn’t much better.

.

.

It’s crammed with 50 lb bags of bird seed, fox food, deer grain and now duck pellets. Which, by the way… the ducks don’t like and won’t eat.

My name is River, and this is my closet of shame.

How about you?

What brings shame to your household….

.

My name is River.. and I’m a soap addict.

After cleaning and organizing our master bath closet the other day, I turned my attention to the the spare bathroom. I don’t know about you, but in our house that’s where everything we don’t know what else to do with lands. I pulled vases, and candle sticks, and pitchers, a footed glass bowl and yes, even a crock pot out of there.

What that left me with was this…

.

.

And by this I mean 10 bottles of Mrs. Meyers soap.

.

.

Yes 10.

As well as 11 more bars of soap… to go with the 15 I’d found the other day.

😳

I haven’t yet decided if we’re extremely clean or extremely dirty. But if it’s the latter?

God damn it, we’re ready.

.

.

A bonus find was 3 bottles of Jo Malone perfume.

Proof positive it pays to clean.

.

Facebook? Stay out of my closet….

.

Why does Facebook insist on picking out clothing for me?

.

.

And why doesn’t this dress have arms? These are the kind of questions that keep me up at night.

.

.

Dolly Parton called, she wants her coat back.

.

.

Is that a shawl? An air conditioned skirt? So many unanswered questions…

.

.

Oh goody. No need to buy the matching pom poms, they’re already attached.

.

.

Since I don’t own an open bust cat suit? I doubt I’ll be needing the required undergarments.

.

.

I’m sorry. But that just looks like a giant maxi pad.
