Thank Goodness There Is No Proof That I Wore Them
I have given my husband endless grief about his inability to get rid of junk, but it turns out I might have a wee little problem with it myself. In the interest of full disclosure, I *can* explain why these things were packed away in a box in our storage room. My excuse is legit, even. But that doesn't make it OK. IT'S NEVER OK TO BE A HOARDER, PEOPLE.
Ahem.
Sorry, just making sure that I don't cross over to the crazy side.
WHOOPS! TOO LATE.
You guys, I don't know what possessed me to buy that t-shirt ::mumble:mumble:: years ago, but the hell? I didn't just buy it, I WORE IT. And then packed it in a box and kept that box around for ::mumble:mumble:: years.
Inexcusable.
But not as inexcusable as these lovely spandex shorts.
I would like to point out that I was not the only person who wore those horrendous crimes against fashion. Remember? Milli Vanilli used to wear them along with brightly covered blazers that had shoulder pads so big they looked like wings.
And now I've just publicly defended my past fashion atrocities by saying it was OK because Milli Vanilli did it, too. I'll shut up now.
Wait, first I need to admit to this little gem.
Somehow I didn't deposit a check I got when I worked at Disney World. Which, I have never been poorer than I was while I was in Orlando so what I was doing packing away $68.45, I don't know. That was enough to pay one week's rent, dammit!
I still find it disappointing that Mickey Mouse doesn't sign paychecks, by the way. It seems that he should.
Fortunately, that's pretty much all I had hoarded away. Just you wait until I start digging through the husband's stuff, though.

Umm, I had that exact same outfit. That's all. I'll go hang my head in shame now.
Well, I didn't own the exact same shirt, but something very close. However, one bright spot for me is that I don't actually own my shirt anymore. It went in the trash a LONG time ago.
I am impressed that the husband is cleaning out the storage room. Please share you magical powers so I can get Jim to clean out his office.
Love this post! Last year I was digging through some things at my mom's house when I unearthed my old NKOTB trunk full of Barbies. Instead of throwing it away, I not only hauled it home, but put it up in my daughter's room, right next to the life-size cardboard cutout of Justin Bieber. I was hoping they would all get together and form a new super boy band, but so far, no dice.
I had that shirt. I LOVED that shirt. I wore it with my pink bicycle pants that perfectly matched the text.
Yep, I had that outfit. Worn much later than when it was in style because it had been passed through 3 cousins & a sister first.
Michelle ~ check out Florida's unclaimed property and see if your $68 was turned over to the state. Companies are required to turn over deposited funds to the state treasurer in many states, (FL & PA have similar programs) https://www.fltreasurehunt.org. Good Luck.
I totally have a couple t-shirts in storage that are keep-sakes from specific events and times in my life. Shirts that I can never and will never wear again, but I don't want to dispose of them either. I don't blame you on that one...
Those shorts though! Woof! Burn baby, burn!
Unless it's outside the frame, I don't see a "void after 90 days" disclaimer on the check. Cash that sucker! :)
Yep, I had that outfit!!
It may not surprise you that I also owned that shirt. And wore it. Heh
