Year-end dryer tally


Wow, this year was a big for the dryer cup! If you don't recall from the last few years, the Dryer Cup is a plastic cup I keep beside the dryer, and throughout the year, I drop in any random stuff I find when I do *someone's* laundry. It's kind of amazing how much stuff *somebody* leaves in his little pockets, and it's kinda funny to go back and tally it all up at the end of the year. So, this year's inventory includes:
  • 1 American dollar
  • 1 Chinese dollar (Bethany went to China this year and was kind enough to bring James some Chinese money... clearly he appreciated it)
  • $1 in quarters
  • $.30 in dimes
  • $.02 in pennies
  • approx. 1 dozen red rubber bands (where the heck did those come from?!)
  • 2 buttons
  • 1 zipper pull
  • 1 lego pieces
  • 1 cord for something, still wrapped in the twisty
  • 1 BRASS CASING (thanks, Daddy)
  • 11 beads, various sizes
  • 3 sequins
  • 1 rubber wheel
  • 1 dino gem
  • 1 hair rubber band (ok, guilty, that one's mine)
  • 1 Nerf bullet
  • 1 small rock
  • 2 pieces of candy trash
  • 1 entire roll of stickers that got washed down to a sticker lump
  • And strangly enough, his ENTIRE NAME in stickers, found throughout different loads of laundry!?
This concludes the 2010 laundry inventory. I look forward to next year's, tally, which I'm sure will include acorns, at least one more rock, and enough money for a massage (ok, just wishful thinking there).

Happy New Year!
