Behind the Blog (4)

Behind the Blog is a feature I've created to allow my readers to learn more about me outside of the blogging and book world. My hope is to connect with readers outside of books, make friends beyond the blog. As far as I know, the title of this feature came from my own mind. I don't recall seeing it on a blog before, so if you have a feature with the same name, no copy intended.

ITEMS YOU CAN FIND SCATTERED ALL OVER MY HOUSE...

(Otherwise known as: messes that frustrate my father)

1) There's the obvious: Books! I do my best to keep them all on my shelves, but sometimes it just doesn't work. They are in stacks on the coffee table, on the dining room table, my nightstand, my dresser. Books have pretty much taken over my world :D 

2) Shoes. I have this semi-secret and completely ridiculous rule  for myself that states I cannot where the same pair of shoes twice in one week. And when I get home, I just take my shoes off whenever and where ever I feel like it. There are shoes in the kitchen, the bathroom, behind the couch (I really don't even know hoe they got there), and under my bed. 

3) Half-full water bottles. I love water. But sometimes I only drink half a bottle then forget all about it. I have half-full bottles on the tables, couches, my bed, my floor, the living room floor, the kitchen counter. A lot of times, if we run out of water bottles, my dad just combines all the half full ones and puts them back in the fridge. 

4) Earrings. I have some frackin crazy earrings. A few examples: 

(Yes, those are adorable elephants. Betsy Johnson!)

And, just like my shoes, I take them off where ever my little heart desires. Then my dad moves them somewhere else so they don't get lost. But that mostly ends up with them getting separated and me having to search for the other one. 

What kind of stuff do you have scattered around your house?
