A Personal Inventory
It occurred to me today, as I was scampering hither and thither through Rewalsar in an attempt to help make the house livable before Sunday, that maybe the contents of my purse aren’t like a normal person’s. That’s the MommyWizard life for you. Every once in a while there’s a moment where you think, “Now, if I were a normal person, stuff wouldn’t be this way.” Anyway, today’s haul was the following…doesn’t it sound like an old-style
inventory list from Zork, or something?

Thank you SO much for that inventory! It made me appreciate the cache of things that generally occupy my belt pouch. Very nearly as eclectic as yours. And the last bit had me howling with laughter! As a game geek of LONG standing, thank you. You made my day.
