If you follow me on twitter, you probably got tired of reading my #CleaningOutMyCloset tweets.
But this did happen on a Saturday night, so most of you normal folk were probably out raising hell and didn't have time for the twitter.
I was at home for a family gathering on Saturday and my mom requested that I clean up my old bedroom. I haven't lived at home in 6 years. And my room is now being used as a "catch all" for crap. Laundry, mail, unwanted furniture, dusty exercise equipment, etc.
But I love organizing/cleaning things out so I was actually pumped to tackle the beast.
I found a massive amount of treasures and I wanted to share some of those with you. I'm sure Sandi and Mandy were annoyed with my constant texts of shizz I was pouring over.
Here is what I found...
A book on all things Hanson. I won't discuss my former obsession with this boy-ish trio now but let me just tell you it ran deep. Real deep.
Remember those? RIP.
Friendship Bracelet pens? Too bad they didn't work anymore or I totally would have brought them to work.
I found some extra wallet size photos of me as a newborn if any one wants a copy.
An indian doll with a baby on her back. #weird
I found an exercise booklet with tips on getting a flatter tummy (circa 1983). This was in the "partner section." So sexual.
I loved this CD in 7th grade more than life itself. My friends and I would even go so far as to elect which one of us was "crazy", "sexy", or "cool."
I also found all my old yearbooks and some old school newspapers. I think our high school only had two newspapers issues a year...the Valentine and Graduation editions. In the Valentine's edition, students would purchase little ads where they could write messages to their "lovers" for Valentine's Day.
I found one that Sandi received from her now husband back in 2001.
Sidenote: It wouldn't be until about 4 more years when they would actually begin dating.
Unfortunately, "Amos" (Sandi's hubby's nickname...still to this day) and "Stool" (still not sure who that is) were quite the players and also did a poem in the same paper for my friend Heather and myself.
I also found a jar full of my baby teeth. File that under What. The. F*ck.
Now go clean out your closets and see what you find!

This post made me laugh out loud! for real. MMMM BOP. PS I have a tomagotchi app on my phone - just sayin.. (:
I'm pretty sure I had the same Hanson book...as well as multiple posters plastered all over my walls.
Ahhh! Those pens! I had some of those also - they were so fun! Oh & Hanson! Umm Bop!
Wow, you found some absolute treasures! I guess the tooth fairy forgot where she stashed your teeth.
haha! I love finding all those old things!
Hahaha awesome! Unfort my parents moved houses when I was in high school so I think all of my stuff is long gone BUT I did write the school newspaper for 1 year and I still have all of them. Quality material I tell you!
This is seriously come of the funniest stuff! An Indian with a baby on her back??? Hansen?!?! And those friendship pens? You know I want one! I don't care if they don't write... They still snap into a bracelet. Hook a sister up!
I loved that TLC cd too. I have several of the songs on my iPod now. No shame.
I really need to do a similar post. I just ran across several things in my closet that would be perfect.
OMG I totally forgot about friendships pens. I had quite a few back in the day. Maybe I should go clean out my closet at my parents house.
I knew there was a reason I loved you! Haha Hanson FTW <3
Also, I found my baby teeth in a bag in my parents closet when I was younger, it was quite traumatizing :)
Wooow this brought back so many middle school memories! :)
This whole post brought back so many memories!! I actually miss my Tamagotchi... I had a puppy one and I would seriously bring that thing around with me EVERYWHERE. I totally want to clean out my attic now!
AND I forgot to tell you!! Thanks to your tip about Erwin Penland, I have an interview there Thursday!!! So I'll be making the trip to your lil town :)
I swear I still have that CD!
I also found a jar full of my baby teeth. File that under What. The. F*ck.
