Remember how Faith on “BTVS” used to say “five by five” instead of “fine” or “okay”? That was cool. Heh. Anyway, Superha tagged me for this “5 by 5” meme, so here it is.
Five items in my freezer
Blue Ice packs, Trader Joe’s frozen skinless/boneless chicken thighs, frozen peas, la dra.’s last Lean Cuisine from a CostCo multipack, giant Smart & Final package of hot dogs (left from when all the kids we thought were coming on the 4th of July didn’t show)
Five items in the closet
Dress shirts from when I was teaching and wore ties every day (the necks of which no longer close), purple Dyson “Animal” model vacuum (for Waldo’s copious fur-bunnies), winter coats from our Rhode Island days, a t-shirt that I bought as a gift for my uncle over 2 years ago that I keep forgetting to give to him, a bag of NWT baby stuff waiting to be re-gifted
Five items in the car
Lots of half-empty water bottles, scattered stale Cheerios (or the Kashi equivalent), annoying talking Elmo book, the Thomas Guide (I live in SoCal, after all), that quilted thingy that you put in the shopping cart for your kid to sit in so she won’t eat the handlebar
Five items in my backpack Baby Bandolier
Old receipts from our May trip back east, Snak Trap filled with Kashi Os, wallet, keys, The Pumpkin’s purple “travel” binky
Five people I tag
