Inventory

Why I'm thinking about this, I'm not entirely sure. I guess just taking stock. I've come to the realization that yup, I live in my car.

I guess that's normal for a person that owns a house at point A, also where the kids go to school, staying w/ parents 15 minutes from that at point B, works and socializes w/ close friends 45 minutes from that at point C, trying to start a business, 10 minutes from that, at point D, and has a boyfriend 30 minutes from that in point E. Yes my daily life is the ending to Elizabethtown.

So, yah, now I can see why the majority of my income goes to my vehicle. Makes sense now.However it doesn't lighten the excruiciating pain I feel at the gas pump. I always think "Well, there goes a day on the clock only to be spit out the exhaust in the end."

Items in my car at this very moment:
1) Several shirts hanging in the back window
2) Overnight bag w/ spare curling iron and hairdryer and spare panties (AKA Booty call bag)
3) 3 CD cases...my entire CD collection is kept in my car. I don't even own a home stereo system.
4) Sage smudge stick (gives police officers something to talk about.)
5) bottle of perfume
6) 2 fingernail files (I suffer from OCD when it comes to my fingernails)
7) several pens
8) wire cutters (um, yah, don't ask.)
9) several used napkins from my morning multi-grain bagels (can be re-used when a child vomits or sneezes)
10) umbrella (at this time only one. I usually keep at least two.)
11) two pairs of muddy boys shoes.
12) two muddy boys jackets
13) dog leash (do I even have a dog? oh yah, I do. No worries, her grandparents take excellent care of her.)
14) Imaginext pieces (just in case I have a sudden need to build a castle.)
15) Six childrens books (never know when I'll be entertaining someone elses child. I'm always prepared. Okay, and I love childrens books.)
16) hairbrush
17) kitchen shears (not sure about that one either.)
18) multiple pages of written directions and addresses (not sure whose, but hey, at least I know how to get there.)
19) US map (never know when I'll drive to a casino for the weekend.)
20) Two funnels (lesson from the college days: Always had oil, never had funnel. Now I have two funnels and no oil.)
21) Boyfriends jacket (makes the vehicle smell yummy.)
22) car soap and wax (came w/ the vehicle, never been used.)
23) plain white sheet (mutiple uses.)
24) spare tire
25) jumper cables
26) New years beads hanging from mirror
27) hula girl air freshener hanging from mirror going on two years now.
28) old big bulky flame covered cell phone and charger (What the frell are you supposed to do with the outdated cell stuff anyways?)
29) newer cell phone charger for my handy dandy little flip phone
30) big bag of cake decorating supplies (There's something you wouldn't have guessed huh. Never know when you need to bake a cake.)
31) Ice scraper thingy

So yah. There you have it. Now who read thru all of that and thought "No make-up"...come on, fess up. I'm a once a day application girl. I don't priss too much, and I can't apply and drive at the same time. Now who's thinking "No but bake a cake and drive at the same time."
