One of the benefits of tidying...

...is finding stuff you lost.

My haul for tonight:
2 silver pins
4 pairs of earrings
2 bracelets
3 necklaces
1 drumstick
1 hand decorated rattle
1 embroidered sash
1 black and silver scarf
1 blue candle dedicated to Wadget
2 Kuan Yin statuettes

oh, i know. :) I found bags of jewelry that I haven't seen in a year when I cleaned out my closet. apparently between the move and josh putting stuff in there.. (shrug) but i'm happy to have all my pretty things again. :)

that doesn't happen so much for me when i tidy, but i've been having similar experiences as i go through all of these boxes of stuff that have yet to be unpacked from the move. towards the end there, i was just throwing things into boxes to get it into something that could be hauled by a mover so some of them are turning out to be real treasure troves, not necessarily in the material sense but in the "oh! i wondered where that had got to" sense.

As a much-used .sig on the ADDWomen list puts it:

"One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries." -Pooh

Discoveries!

yep, zap added that one myself. I was in the process of beginning my summer manic phase house cleaning when my back went "BLEERAGHHGOKKKRRRKKKSPROING!!" or something like that. Hoping it straightens up in time for me to finish. I had actually unearthed half of the archeological dig that is my desk by then.
