previously on the e-list…
I spent the weekend cleaning my apartment which was way over due. Cleaning is my least favorite chore. I used to think it was bad cleaning my tiny studio apartment in SF and now I have a 2-story loft here in Miami. I basically broke it down into 2 days—day 1: ground floor; day 2: second floor. During the cleaning process, I was also reorganizing things to make room on the various bookshelves to accommodate some of the contents of the plastic container that I got from my dad's.
Going through one's past is quite interesting. The container was obviously packed by my mom many years ago and left to sit in their attic. It was bittersweet going through the stuff especially knowing that the last person to handle all of these treasures from my past was my mom. My treasure chest included the following:
collection of Hardy Boys books
Wolf Cub Scout book (which I can almost guarantee is out-of-date)
graduation cap & high school diploma
prom memorabilia (engraved champagne flutes, dried boutonniere, photo, program, key chain)
giant Mickey Mouse head bank
various books (celebrities of the 70s, Snoopy, Return of the Jedi, etc.)
yearbooks dating back to elementary school - high school
artwork
stuffed animals (an elephant, a dolphin & a dog)
a collection of Ranger Rick magazines (mom placed them in zip lock bags)
a scary paper mache clown
a vase (not sure it was mine)
some college beer mugs (again, not sure they were actually mine)
a report card from elementary school
Among the artwork was various school assignments. One of which was a poem I wrote. I'm not sure of the year.
Snow Flake
There was a snowflake laying on the snow.
A strong wind came up and blew the snowflake away.
The snowflake blew on a car.
The car started and went far-far away.
Finaly, the car stopped.
And the snowflake fell off and layed on the ground.
The sun came out and the snowflake melted.
The End (I copied it as is and decided not to fixed the obvious spelling mistakes)
The last piece of treasure I want to share is a Christmas List I made. There's no year on it but I think it was either 1982 or 1983.
