Anyway, I started on the dishes but was soon distracted by rearranging my closet. I've been keeping a straw hamper in the back that holds all of the junk I clean from other places in the house but that I inexplicably don't want to throw away. Today I decided to do an archeological excavation.
Here's a fun relic: a bag of freeze-dried flower petals and a veil that I bought for my wedding but never used. I don't even remember buying these, although this blog tells a different story.

I've never used ketamine, but I definitely fell into a bridal K-hole for, like, six months in which I ordered stencils and labels and eight different pairs of shoes online, basically without even realizing it.
Speaking of K-holes, I also found what I thought was an old gym bag stuffed at the bottom of the hamper. I opened it warily, fearing two year-old sweaty gym socks, but instead this is what I found:
-A lace garter with a tiny pouch attached
-Foundation
-Blush
-A paperback copy of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential


Um, did I ho for cash to pay for my all my unused wedding accoutrements? I have no idea what I was doing with these things in one bag. That foundation's not even my color. Could the CIA have tapped me, Alias-style, to infiltrate a fancy restaurant that was really a cover for an international terrorist organization and seduce the sous chef while my partner, hopefully still played by Michael Vartan, collected computer files?
If you have any information, please email me immediately.


mmm you could always send that prescriptives foundation to your poor (but darker skinned!)sister<3 xxxooo
ReplyDeleteI'll bring it with me next weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI accumulated so much random shit when I got married, it wasn't even funny. I have a GIANT Waterford Crystal picture frame and a set of very expensive salt and pepper shakers that (5 years later) are collecting dust in my Ikea laden apartment.
ReplyDeletethat book is amazing!
