A problem

I'm becoming increasingly aware that I have a problem.

It's becoming increasingly bigger and I feel that I have to come clean and confess to it.

I'm not very good at returning items to others.

In cleaning up the house and trying to tidy it up before Rich comes home at midnight from his latest trip, I've found the following list of items that are on my counters, and in bags in the car and stashed in places where I'd "remember" them... and I keep forgetting about.

Currently the list of items I currently am holding for others is as follows:

Platter
Plastic bowl
Wooden Serving Spoon
Plastic Serving Spoon
Quart size canning jar
Little birthday gift that was left here on accident
Book from one friend
Book from another friend
Wrench
Two little magnets that belong in a book I sold to the neighbor at our yard sale last saturday... I found them 5 minutes after she bought it, and still haven't taken it over.

I'm resolving to return all the items within the next week...

I made a good start this morning by returning the kindergarten graduation pictures that have been on the desk for a month that I never intended to keep... and I received a letter through the school yesterday that I needed to pay up, or return it... whoops!

I can only hope that I can continue that trend tomorrow and return an item to keep the momentum going!
