I can’t really stress how much I love these swatch books. The one on the right side was my dad’s when he went to college when I was a little kid. Little=3 years old.  My sister and I played with this a lot, looking through the colours, mixing colours, all of it. Then when I grew up and I went through the same program in college as my dad, I got my very own swatch book. Gels have changed a lot over the years, now they are thinner and lighter and there are many more colours available. But I still like my dad’s better!

The more I make these themed posts, the more excited about my stuff I get. I mean, the more time I want to spend with it and show it to Shannon, who clearly isn’t interested at all and can barely even keep his eyes open while I am waxing poetic about how much this makes me happy.

Plastic pig, Tamagotchi key ring toy, Quagmire, Chris Griffin, 2 babies without pants, 2 French comic book guys.

Kindertoy Snoopy, Jawa, busted up lamb, pig lighter (click his fez and flames shoot out of his snout), crucifix that doubles as a whistle, baby and mama elephants, wind up pecking bird and small pig.

Then there’s 2 of my favourite belt buckles (which I should take a picture of all of them together) with 3 tiny Polly Pockets, a digital pig clock that needs to be stored with it’s instructions because it’s so hard to figure out, a miniature wooden mask and my small collection of Red Rose tea figurines. We always had these around the house when I was a kid, and I think they are awesome. I bought them at Value Village when I worked there.

What do you have in your bathroom? Soap? Tampons? Zit stuff? Me too. But I also have tons of other stuff, most of which are non-bathroom related. And completely unnecessary. You know, sometimes I look at these interior design magazines and I especially love the houses that are tidy and clean with no junk laying about. I love them but I could never live like that.

First are the cat that Ali gave me as a housewarming gift when I moved to Windsor. Second are my squeaky bath toys, a devil ducky, Mickey Mouse and Snoopy. Third, my toilet paper cover, which I didn’t make. I wish. I love it so much.

Ok, so I have these yellow plastic drawer things, each has three drawers and a lid with storage too, and they are crammed with stuff. 1, mostly makeup (from Forever 21) and hair bobs. 2, makeup and one iron on star. 3, toothpaste, 90210 button, my nametag from the grocery store, children’s plastic chopsticks (I put them in my hair) and a sewing kit with a YumPop sticker on it. 4, condoms, false eyelashes, keys and deck of UNO cards. Best card game ever. I think that might be my party drawer?

And the best:

I am sure there’s a Beavis somewhere in the world. If anyone who reads this ever finds him, I would be so happy if you sent it to me. I stole this from a certain job I had once. Well, it was given to me by a co-worker.
