I thought I was a hoarder.. until....

All of my friends and family have accused me of being a hoarder.. I may save a lot of things/ garbage, but I like to save memories.. If you know me very well, you know that I STILL have my baby blanket.. Of course his name is Blankster, and yes I do still drag him around everywhere.. So before you start judging me you should know that I keep him (yes he's a boy) around for a reason.. He smells like my mom's house.. No matter where I go or live, it still smells like mommy's casa.. And we all know that no matter what your mom's house smells like.. You LOVE that smell... Also it keeps me warm.. ok it may have 4000 holes in it, but for some reason the holes are just extra places to put your arms or head through and not imperfections.... So, I take advantage of the extra breathing room.. Also, Blankster is so multifunctional.. He is my napkin, tissue, scarf, hat, robe, skirt, tube top, dog carrier.. etc.. I know you are envisioning all of these uses right now.. So therefore, I will give you a second to absorb all of that.................................................. Ok, so now you are jealous.. I am sorry.. But this 26 year old blanket is MINE.. bwahahahaha.... Anyways.. wow, not what I was trying to get to.. Guess I was just trying to get you to love Blankster.. or grossed out,. Either way.. I am thankful for my little friend..... Ok, so the real reason for this post.. I save a lot of stuff that people find to be weird.. But today I found my husband's weird drawer of crap.. He may not have a 26 year old tissue or a stack of school IDs from middle school, but he did have some true gems.. and these aren't in any order.. .... *clears throat*
  • a black light
  • An old stuffed tiger toy that I am sure is from the 4th of July carnival in Ripley
  • A very old box of salt water taffy
  • A broken candle holder
  • Sunglasses
  • Stickers
  • A CD Walkman
  • Some kid of animal horn
  • Sweat bands
  • a small soccer ball air freshener.. in case you are wondering.. doesn't smell anymore..
  • and not last and certainly not least (I am just sick of listing things...) a fake dog turd.
FANTASTIC! So to sum this up.. I have met my soulmate!! We can hoard together.. His stuff will go great with my old recorder, glamour shot pictures, and of course blankster!! We can throw all the junk inside of the blanket and tie it to a stick... We will be like the coolest couple walking down the street during the apocalypse.. A blanket full of stuffed animals and black lights. Ahhh.. Marriage. The best thing since fake dog crap. Have a hoarderific day. 'Merica.
