I do the same thing and I also forget where I put things!Happy HOLIDAYS

lolol This is perfectly timed. We have a table that we just constantly toss crap on. Mail, sunglasses, pills, 5k medals, snacks, etc. 😄 I distinctly try to keep the table divided in two. My half at least has a little space where you can actually see the top of the table. My wife’s half has layers that would make an archeologist weep. Whenever my wife “cleans” her half of the table, she just pushes HER crap onto MY side of the table. And I constantly push it back 😂😂😂

No, you are not alone, lol!

I stack all the magazines and brochures in a pile saying that I’ll read them later but the pile keeps growing and I never seem to have the time to browse through them.

U need a IHM nun to come at U with a ruler, lol

Fortunately, I have an entire upstairs attic bedroom to hide things. My hideaway stuff is mostly boxes that are too good to recycle and magazines. Lots of magazines. That December 2012 issue of Martha Stewart Living where she made that decoration thing made of sticks in a milk bucket and a string of lights? That’s up there, somewhere…

This is so me!

Ha! We’re having Thanksgiving today due to family travel plans. Soooo…all the crap in the living room & dining room has retired to the basement! (Never to be heard from again). Have a wonderful Thanksgiving & Holiday Season! I love this time of year.

THIS IS SO ME, especially the basement steps part.

Me. I hide everything in our bedroom and close the door. Then when company is gone. .surprise!

This is so funny!!! Because it’s so true! 😂

I have piles on the floor around my chair. That way I have to keep going through them and eventually I either order from the catalogs or put it in another pile for future reference.

Hilarious! I've been known to hide things too, then can't find them! Somehow it it satisfying to see a clean house even though the hidden objects are lurking elsewhere. I enjoyed seeing you in Lancaster with David Baldacci!❤️

Yes, this is me! I still have wrapped gifts from last year to give people. I couldn’t find them last year🤷🏻‍♀️

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

You are not alone.

Good morning from AZ. Thanks for your weekly post, I always appreciate and enjoy them. Have fun playing hide and seek now and later!😁

This is so funny and I know I won't be popular but my OCD won't allow clutter. Everything has a place and if it doesn't, out the door it goes. I was traumatized by watching Hoarders and will never again have a pile of anything...lol

One of the many things I like about living by myself is that I have lots places to hide things. One room that I love is my craft bedroom. I never have to put things away...I just close the door! And , yes, I have a place on one of my kitchen chairs that has to be cleared out periodically. Have a happy (and tidy) Thanksgiving!

Are you sure we aren’t related?! Cloned?! Because, to the letter, you could be referring to me. Sledding boxes down the cellar stairs is my standard method of delivery. I use my trunk as my pantry all year long and, should I notice an empty space, it can be quickly filled with a bag or two destined for the Goodwill store. (I don’t own any sweaters that aren’t washable anymore.) I have made no bones about the fact that my house looks great…… WARNING: DO NOT OPEN ANY DRAWERS! Happy Thanksgiving and keep the laughs coming. Thanks, Lisa. 🦃

When my daughter was young I would send her to clean her room. A bit later she would announce she was finished. I asked if she cleaned and her answer was always "You won't see a thing". That was good enough. She is 51 now with a husband, dog and beautiful home that is always clean, neat and welcoming.

Truth! I live in the same house. 🤣

I completely agree with everything you wrote! Even worse, I have someone coming to stay at my house to watch my dogs, so I need to have the house clean enough for company to stay!!😫

I laughed out loud at this one, particularly the dog cages sliding down the basement steps.

Thank goodness! I thought I was the only one who plays this game! Sadly, I tend to play it year round. 🤷🏻‍♀️

That's life✌😽

I had that costume too ! I didn’t remember until you described it in detail.

I agree that nothing really is perfect...and I learned that it's ok!

I love your columns so much! They always make me laugh and I can ALWAYS identify! Thanks for brightening up our days!

Let’s just say some people get adulting and act like one and some never do.

Who do you recommend for help with publishing and proofreading? I’m a local (Delco) author and did not like the folks I hired for my first book. I don’t want to make the same mistake for my next one!

Love Lisa all her books and her columns!

Absolutely

Truly laughing out loud!🤣

OMG, I'm convulsing, just the thought. Waterboard that eyeball girl, hug

Bugs must love you. I remember your story about the moth that flew into your ear.

Funny except for the gnat in your eye. Who got it out.

Spot on!!

I'm loving this post! ❤️

Terrific column!

I don't like adulting. I was more of an adult as a teen than I am now approaching sixty-five.

Go Eagles!! Loving the Bradley Cooper commercial.

They need an emoji for half love and half laugh. This is so me. It’s like we’re sisters from another father. I love all your columns, but this was primo. Thank you.
