Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.
So, I lied. It's not all shampoo. More than half of the bottles are conditioner. (Conditioner just didn't flow as well in the title.) And, there are 49 bottles and not 50 fifty.
After a recent discussion with Sarah, I was surprised to learn that it's not normal to have this many bottles of shampoo and conditioner. So now I'm curious about what other people think. Is this unusual? Should I get help? :)

Oh my God Melissa!! And to think I know I have used that bathroom and never knew of the evil lurking just behind the shower curtain! Don't worry, on your next day off I will be over to deal with this (you may want to double your dose of xanax that day, I know I will)!
Just please tell me that none of those bottles only has like about 2 ounces of stuff left in it!! You know those will have to be used up first, even if we end up washing dogs all day with them!
I'm thinking a little fall cleaning may be in order.
My secret word is tkbxx as in take a box and throw stuff away.
Sarah, that's nothing. The next time you come over, look in my bathroom cabinet. I have to close the doors quickly or the bottles fall out. You can have my dose of xanax. Unlike you, I'm used to the disorder.
Brandy, rather than throw things out, I need more cabinets! Who knows when there might be some mass disaster and stores are closed for months. I need to stock up while I still can.
OMG!! Help? LOL, i'm coming to collect you for a psych evaluation!
Here i am thinking 6 is bad enough.....49!!!!
I don't know what everyone is all excited about. That looks perfectly normal to me! ;)
Melissa, one thing I noticed is that there are a couple kinds of shampoo/conditioner in there that I haven't seen in the stores in years! LOL Also, I think we have some shampoo in common. Is that green bottle in the middle Avalon Organics? Looks like their bottling. I love their lavender shampoo.
Michelle, whatever you do, please don't get a 72 hour hold on me. Who would take care of my dogs?
Mary, am I really not alone?
You're right that some of my brands haven't been available for years. That's part of the problem. When I finish the bottles, that's it. That saddens me, so I keep saving it, reluctant to use it.
The green bottle is Avalon Organics. The lavender fragrance is so wonderful that I wish that I could drink it.
OK, I have a plan, on your next day off I am coming over. We are both going to have to double our dose of xanax because we have a problem. You said you save the old bottles with just a few drops of stuff in them (gasp!!) and that is the thing that sends my OCD out of control!
You know that I could culture psuedomonas in all those bottles, it thrives under the caps and contaminates the entire bottle, the older the product, the less liquid contents, the higher the concentration!! If you must keep those, they must be used first!! I will organize them in product groupings so there will be no confusing the shampoos with the conditioners, etc... The oldest ones must be used first! Then if we have time I will organize the closet with the overflow. I completely understand the hoarding thing. I hoard food. Not that I have ever been hungry a day in my life, but it must be organized!!
When it gets a little out of control I donate the ones I don't absolutely love to battered woman and childrens shelter. It's a good cause, you get to help some people who are really in need and you get a tax write off. I do this with my clothes as well and now that I know you have what... 43 jackets, that may have to be our next project!
Psuedomonas live in shampoo bottles? Ewwww. Now I feel motivated to do some throwing out.
But stay away from my jackets. I don't care if it's only cold something like three days out of the year, I need them. (The same thing goes for my linens. I know you have been eyeing them.)
The only one I have been eyeing is the yellow flowered comforter with the stripes on the other side that I gave you a few years ago. And the only reason I have been eyeing it is because it has been in the same giant pile of linens in your ballet room for the last couple of years so I know you aren't using it, and it would make such a nice dog bed. I am not interested in your sheets since I am now a pima cotton thread count snob. I had to donate almost all of my old linens to the battered womens shelter as they are now unacceptable.
You may have the comforter back. I didn't know that you wanted it for a dog bed.
But what makes you think that I'm not a pima cotton thread count snob too? You're not the only princess around here. :)
Last time I was at the house Dar slept on your bed all day and he told me.
I know. My pillow was covered with black fur.
