Ziploc Bags

Today,I am cleaning out the closet we call "The Store."  The store is actually a small closet off our bedroom that most people would use as a linen closet.  I use it as the location for extra soap, toothpaste, razors etc.  One could ask why we need such a place.  Why not just run to the store and buy a new tube of toothpaste when you run out? But that would require a different blog and perhaps some psychological analysis.  For the moment,just let me babble on about my discoveries.  First off, we obviously never use body wash.  I found huge bottles of it that are so old they are separating into waters and oils.  Don't think we don't get clean (Okay, one of my children is questionable,but that may also require counseling to answer.)  We do have an abundance of soap, ranging from Brian's Lever 2000 to stacks of wonderful home made soaps from Aunt Lana.  These smell wonderful and I must worry about running out,because I actually discovered a secret stash.  I know,more counseling.  I also discovered that I must buy men's razors every time I buy women's.  This would seem to make sense accept,in this house there is one male who shaves sporadically and 3 females whom shave regularly.  It also seems the females do not mind the smell of Gillette, but the male does mind the smell of raspberries.  If you are a male under 6 years old, it seems it is fine to use blueberry or strawberry scented products as long as Mater or Buzz Lightyear is pictured on the bottle.  An outsider looking in, would also assume we have a love of hydrogen peroxide- true, and some obsession with travel sized mouthwashes- not sure, we never use them at home and based on how few are open, obviously not when we travel either. Perhaps the most interesting discovery are the extreme number of quart sized, TSA approved, ziploc bags.  As a public rule follower (behind closed doors I have a terrible attitude), I dutifully pack for every trip in assorted bags.  I buy travel sized items because I always forget what's in the reusable ones.  Don't ask how many times I have conditioned my hair with lotion and washed my hands with conditioner. I am really anal about trip planning.  Okay, ocd doesn't even touch it.  I spend hours assembling each bag and kit and making sure we know where everything is.  But I obviously do not have the same out of control feelings about unpacking.  I found 15 travel toothpastes and even baby shampoo from Russia trips.  All packed in ziploc bags with things like unopened visine (airplanes are drying) and tide spot remover (please, most of you have seem my kids, I obviously never use this.)  But today is a new day. Out with the old and in with the..... large ziploc bags brought in to hold all the travel sized toothpaste.
