Ok...you got me. I was not actually cleaning. I was looking for something. I could swear I still had my Madonna Desperate Seeking Susan jacket from the 80s. You may be wondering to yourself why I was looking for it. Well, Phollower and I are going to a college tradition in these parts wherein you show up to the bars early (like 7 AM) to start drinking in honor of a home football game.
And you go in costume. If you are wondering why I have/had something like this jacket, you know where you can go.
And if you are wondering why we are going to be involved in this undergraduate tradition, I really don't know. One moment of insanity and a lifetime of keeping to my obligations is my best answer.
Anywho...I did not find said jacket. However, I did find the following:
a copy of my undergraduate thesis, along with a large packet of notes for preparation of said thesis (threw out)
a diary from 5th grade (saved this)
my yearbooks from junior and senior years (saved these)
textbooks from undergraduate (donating)
my first baby doll, covered in mold (threw out)
Nicer things I found included: love letters to Phollower from me and to me from Phollower from when we dating and our wedding centerpiece.
Sadly, I found the old wedding favor and program from my friend's first wedding. His wife, a wonderful woman, died shortly after of leukemia.
But the best thing I found was all my favorite books from when I was a kid. I had been saving them for my nieces and nephew but I forgot about them. Maybe they will still want some of them. Maybe Zoe will want some for her and BPs little one.

BREAKFAST CLUB!!! Yeah, I only went once during my time at college. Nothing quite like feeling like ass before 10 in the morning.
I was kinda creeped out last summer when cleaning out a spare closet, I found wedding favors from our wedding 4 years prior. Our favors were little bags of Hershey Kisses. *shudder*
Surprisingly, it was pretty fun! I'll post some pics if I get them.
