It all started when we began getting yard sale donations a couple days ago. Again, my garage will be taken over soon- I can just feel it. We were trying to rearrange things so that I can still park in the garage for a while at least. Remember, we live in the south and it is in the 90s these days. Organizing turned to cleaning the car which turned to a major overhaul in the garage. How many shoes does one family really need? I felt very embarrassed at all the shoes we pulled off the shoe shelves. We pride ourselves on being frugal, but being frugal doesn't mean you can spend only $2 on 20 pair of shoes because they are so cheap! Time to reevaluate.
And here is just a sampling of what came out of my car. Hubby was laughing about it- at least the girls and I were prepared in case of emergency. See, money, french fries in case we get hungry, business cards, hairbows, a gummy something, a writing utensil and miscellaneous trash to start a fire. If our car ever broke down in the middle of nowhere, I have confidence we could have lasted at least 3 days with all the items we found.
Now, I want to know- what's in your car? And if you are one of those people who always keeps a sparkling clean vehicle....I DON'T want to hear from you.:) But know, I love you in spite of your cleanliness!!
In Him,
E

Oooh, that is nothing compared to what I just now pulled out of my car! Seriously.
Our car IS SPARKLING CLEAN at all times-no lie! Not from me though. It's ALL the Captain! His theory is-God gave us this and we are going to take care of it as if it is the only one we'll ever have!
Noooooooo---you so absolutely do not want to know what is 'living' in my car. I'm sure there are many things in there that could be used for a science experiment :)
I would love to have a clean car, but never manage it. Right now we have lots of videos (our van has a built in VHS player), a baby snuggly, car seats, crumbs galore, pens, books...mainly things to keep a child from going balistic on a trip. While having the door open the other day we discovered a dirt dobber nest...vacated, thankfully...on the inside. No telling how long that's been there!
You would find crayons, pencils, cars, candy wrappers, one mitten (never two), baseball stuff, dirt, knitting bits and pieces (I knit when dh drives to keep my nerves easy). My dh cleans my van too...
