Closet List

It's Monday and time to join Stasha over at The Good Life for Monday Listicles! 
Each week Stasha gives us a theme for our lists. This week, we our topic was 10 Things In Your Closet.

Next week, we'll be listing 10 things we thought we would grow up to be when we were kids. I'm so glad Stasha gives us a heads-up each week because some of these lists require thought.

We live in a small house but each of our bedrooms has a lovely 5x6 foot walk-in closet. These closets don't seem so big when there are 26 years of stuff in them that have been left here by the four people who are now grown up and not living in our cozy little house any more. I'm just about to do some serious purging. Serious.

Ten Things In My Closets (that shouldn't be here but should be in the closets of the lovelies):

1. Dresses. That's right- dresses. LONG dresses from proms long gone by and sorority events that have also long gone by and bridesmaids dresses. My thoughts: Put those suckers on Craigslist and keep the money. 
2. Random discarded crap. Yep. All that crap that they have no use for but couldn't figure out just what to do with it? It's all here. But I'm thinking it has a date with the sanitation department of our fair town.
3. Yearbooks. Seriously- every single yearbook from elementary school through high school. Luckily, no one was that interested in their college yearbooks...not even sure all the colleges attended by the lovelies offered such a thing. Nevertheless, those dang things are here and taking up space. Quite possibly these heavy space taker-uppers are going to meet their doom if the lovelies don't take them to their own closets soon.
4. Coats. Some of these are old while others are not. I keep hearing the lovelies say things like, "I don't have a coat." That's because they're in the closet here. Where y'all don't live. 
5. American Girl stuff. I have to admit that I do not have a problem with this stuff. I love American Girl dolls and Bitty Baby and the little miniatures. Yeah, that stuff can stay.
6. Other toys. This is a collection of things ranging from Spider Man to tea sets to Nerf and water guns. This stuff has to go. Except the Nerf guns. And the water guns. 
7. Dance clothes. Deanie was a dancer (extraordinaire) and performed with a competition dance team in high school. All of those costumes are still here. 
8. Pictures. Not photographs but pictures that they bought for their college apartments and then, after graduating, decided these were no longer usable so why not decorate the closets at home. 
9. Deanie's college projects. That can't be too bad you say? Ha. She was an interior design major. It's bad.  Oh and let's not forget DoodleBug's band shoes (4 pairs) and drumsticks and other random percussion instruments. Thank God her drum set is long gone.
10. Everything they get for Christmas but don't want to take to their own houses. Each year we all get a Christmas music box and ornaments from Mimi (my mother). Breezy is the only one who takes her to her house. Of course, to be fair, she is married and they have bought a house. And Birdie did take hers to her apartment this past Christmas. But I'm betting that she's going to pack them up and bring them back here before all is said and done.

Guess the nest isn't as empty as I thought. 
  
Your turn! What's in y'alls closets?
