Return of the Lost Bear

Remember the bears?

Remember, Gary and I would hide them around the house? See how there are six in the photo above? Well, at some point, they became five. I hid one somewhere so cleverly I lost it.

Well, since this is the last day of vacation, every nook and corner was cleaned, and in one nook was The Lost Bear.

That's an end table, and the bear is suspended upside down facing the wall.

Amazing the things I find during the Yearly Clean. I found a Lean Cuisine tray from last summer behind my guitars. Still, in addition to cleaning I did 18 of my 30 tasks, the ones I didn't do are at the extremes, like "Play guitar" and "Purge basement."

My house needs cleaning. Oh god does it need cleaning.
I'm glad you found your missing bear. If that's all you're missing you are one lucky woman.

Is the bear supposed to be committing an indecent sex act on the other bear?

My husband came home from work and I still hadn't had a shower or got dressed, and all because I thought I'd just tidy the study. And it STILL wasn't (isn't) finished!

2012 in our house is going to be The Year of Getting Rid of Stuff.

Hattie - No. I'm missing a pizza cutter and a bunch of lids, and I just replaced them. Of course they'll turn up.
Allison - No! he's the Quarterback Bear!
Big Dot - And you know once you start purging, everything must be purged.

I'm in the middle of a frightening purge. 7 contractor bags with of garbage, so far. I'm only doing my bedroom. Realizing that you can turn hoarder at any second is terrifying.

Congratulations in finding the bear! In my scouring, I found a phone I've been missing for 4 months.

I'd chide you for losing the bear but I've been at your house at least twice this year and never noticed Sir Dangle.

Did he have a good ride?

Hot Mom - All the blood rushed to his head, but he's okay now.
