Oh, the things you will find (and lose again)

We're in the middle of housecleaning, a combination of getting ready for guests and (we hope) getting ready for our son's arrival. I don't like to clean much, but there is the benefit of finding long-lost items. In the last few days, we've found a ton of things I'd lost, including: 1) manual to camcorder (a new one, somehow the manual got lost about a week after we got it) 2) remote control to stereo (lost many months ago). I'm not sure I should count this because I am not positive where it is right now, but I should be able to find it quickly 3) disposable camera with some pictures left to shoot 4) a number of books I wanted to start reading but forgot about We've gotten a lot better about throwing things out, but the volume of stuff in this house is still amazing. Very little of it of course is valuable (although I have lost things like the digital camera for a few days). Unfortunately, we somehow managed to misplace a whole bag of toys and childproofing stuff we just got. Oops. And today I completely forgot that I was signed up to take a training class. Just as well, because I don't have time for it, but I fear my department is going to get billed for it. Another non-brownie-point for yours truly. They say the rich are different from you and I. Maybe they don't spend cash on tons of random items that turn into clutter. There probably is more to it than that, but it would be a start ...
