The Wall O' Products

Jason and I moved into our apartment first. Then Neil moved in a month later. So while moving into our modest apartment, we knew that we had too much crap and that we needed to either get rid of a lot of it, or figure out how to organize it in such a way that it wouldn't be IN the way.

One day, we decided since we have so many different kinds of toiletries, like hair stuff, toothpaste, lotion, pain pills, oh who am I kidding, it's mainly hair stuff (Jason and I both have long hair), that we would buy one of those over-the-door shoe hangers (see pic) and store things in it. Sheer Genius right? I know, it's great, but I never realized how MUCH we really do have.

Last October, we threw a party and had about 30 of our nearest and dearest friends over. Yes, amazingly enough, everyone was able to fit into our little apartment! Why? Because we ORGANIZE shit! We thought that was pretty sweet. There is lots of room to hang out and sing karaoke, drink, mingle; we have two bathrooms, so no one really had to wait, and Neil's bathroom has like, nothing in it, and ours, well there are lots of things in it, but they are all neatly put away on the door.

I guess we got used to just having everything there on the door, and we didn't really think anyone would notice it all, and how heavy it is, and how much space it probably still takes up. The party was great, we all had fun, and almost everyone was gone at about 3am. My old roommate, Jaclyn, was at the party that night, and she is known for leaving notes for people. She would buy a ton of sticky notes, and post them all over the apartment to remind us of things, or even just to say hi, or that she was pissed about something. She is also known for writing notes on dry erase boards if there happens to be any near her. We have one on the fridge. So when the night was winding down, Jason went to the fridge to get some water and noticed a note left by Jaclyn on the dry erase board:

"Thank you guys so much for having me over, I had a blast! P.S--I LOVE the 'Wall O' Products' in your bathroom! It looks like a fucking Walgreen's!!" xoxo Jackay"

Yes, it was a hilarious note, and we laughed, but then I realized, wow, there really is a lot of shit on that bathroom door, and it DOES look like a fucking Walgreen's!! It looks like we could sell shit from our bathroom and old folks, or people with long, luscious hair, could take their pick from the products on this wall, and be content that they have everything they need for their hair, teeth, or back/headaches!

Anyway, I just thought it was funny. Probably no big deal to anyone else, and you're probably thinking, wow Sarah, an uneventful story indeed. Well, I don't care, so fuck you :)
