That's me. I have this horrible habit of keeping paper. Small scraps with scribbles of names and reminders, magazine articles I found significant, old class rosters from years and jobs past, and the list goes on. Today I decided to tackle the spare bedroom and the burgeoning piles that erupt from every available flat surface. I found some interesting things.
- An email from my college friend Jen dated December 2005.
- A list of books I wanted to read...from 2006!
- Scraps with random email addresses and websites.
- A copy of a world history test I gave last year.
- My 10th grade class roster from 2004.
- Various recipes I've clipped with the plans to cook, but I haven't.
- Several articles on how to save money. It's become an obsession of mine.
- Boarding passes for a trip I took a year ago.
- A warranty form I didn't send in.
- And lots more......
The result of this little foray? I filled a paper bag of stuff to recycle and filled another to shred (of course my shredder's dead) :( And a long email to Jen apologizing for my poor correspondence skills. I'm pretty sure I responded in January 2006, but I'm not positive. Here's hoping she forgives me.
