1. Orientation binder from my first post-college job
2. Binder of info regarding starting a small business
3 & 4. Hanging file folder tabs that I can't stand because they stick up too high in the file drawers

23. A 'view our pictures here' photo from a wedding 2 years ago
24. A plastic shell for an Elizabeth Swan action figure
25. List of shoes I have in reserve for the girls as they grow.  I carry this around in my wallet so I don't buy duplicates when I find good deals.  This is an old list.
26. Another binder at the top of the photo - my MOPS stuff from two years ago.

Day 263 - Alphabet Puzzle Book

This book with magnetic pieces was such a fun idea when I had one kid and would sit on the floor with her to play with it.  Now its not so fun because I'm constantly picking up 26 alphabet pieces as DD#4 plays unsupervised most of the time and her favorite thing is to unload, unpack, empty anything within her reach.  It wouldn't be such an irritant if I could just toss all the pieces in a bin or bucket, but I'm so OCD about stuff like this I have to put all the pieces back into their proper places and it just takes too much time.

Day 262 - Books

I've been collecting books for a few weeks and I'm finally up to 26!

1 to 11.  Christian, historical romances I picked up for a quarter each at a yard sale.  They're pretty boring.  I stoped reading in the middle of  a book which is the first time I can remember doing that with fiction. 
12 & 13. Patricia Wentworth mysteries
14. To Have and To Hold - Jane Green
15. Bookends - Jane Green
16. No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency - Alexander McCall Smith
17. The Birth Order Book
18. Hallowed Bones - Carolyn Haines
19. Monkey Tumbles
20. Barbie fashion flip book
21. Little Miss Neat
22. Little Miss Tiny
23. The Word Book
24 & 25. Workbooks from church retreats
26. Experiencing God for Couples - this is from our 'newly married' Sunday school class, and as I flipped through it I realized we have someone else's copy that's filled out in Spanish!  It belongs to our friends Jairo & Claudia who moved here from Colombia, but haven't attended our church for several years as they bought a house about an hour away.  I'll mail it to Claudia and maybe she'll get a kick out of it.
