Interesting Things Found While Cleaning Out My Car

Today, I sporadically decided to take my car to the shop for a winterize well baby exam (hooray, coupon--and hooray, keeping my promise to my car), which meant I finally had to strip my car. I haven't really unloaded or cleaned it out since February, and it finally got to the point where I was embarrassed to be seen driving in it. And while I didn't have time this morning for detailing, I did unload all the crap that was hoarding it up in there. And it made for a relatively interesting scene:

• 5 different gloves, all left handed
• 1 pack each of: Ginger Ale, Dr. Pepper, and Diet Dr. Pepper
•  a random high heel
• 3 pairs of gym sneakers
• 14 lbs of clothing, ranging from spring-summer to underwear
• 4 travel mugs, all beyond washing
• various over the counter pills
• bowl
• plate 
• set of silverware
• (approx) 197 cocktail peanuts (found scattered and in every crevice of the car)
• box of kitty litter
• 1 sock
• half a plastic gun
• Breaking Dawn pt 1 poster
• 4 overnight bags with clothes and crafts
• 3 phone chargers, all different
• anti-nausea pills
• 1 Target bag full of moldy clothes (ew.)
• (approx) 47 empty or half-empty water bottles
• a random 6 pack of ginger ale (why so much ginger ale?)
• flapper dress
• bag of dragons
• blow up doll (oh, hey Halloween costume)

• baseball bat (decided to leave this in the car, in case of rapist attacks)
• $14 in change
• bag of assorted linens
• 5 purses
• medium sized pyrex baking pan with lid
• various iPod accessories :(
• tooth brush shiv
• bag of Christmas decorations
• a medium sized white board that says "a white people board for white people problems" in permanent ink (thanks, dad)
• bridesmaid dress from Mary's wedding
• giant box of antique books from Mary's wedding
• that one bra I thought I had lost
• a huge craft bag filled with name-board trash, programs and a paper cutter from Mary's wedding
• 3 lbs Chik-fil-A trash
• the bones of a rolling garment rack that was clearly broken
• cookie cooling racks
• Holiday Tobias Rexington  (pictured below)

 

• shovel
• rope
• lye (just kidding)
• 6 Hobo's (am I kidding?)

What's really embarrassing is that I've taken it to the shop in varying stages of Hobo-Ford Focus-Rape-Town what, 3 times so far this year? And it's just now gotten to the point where I'm compelled to clean it out before I take it in?

It's a good/sad thing to know that I have so little respect for my public appearance.

In other news, I may have siatica. Or however you spell it. Joy.
