Hoarders



I met one of these on Saturday.





As we were loading up our truck with all of the stuff that didn't sell at our Yard Sale on Saturday, a lady drove up wanting to know if she could just take a quick peek through some of the boxes.  As she is unloading boxes she was telling me that she has a hard time getting rid of stuff and kept asking me, "How do you know what to get rid of?  Don't you think you will need some of this stuff sometime?"  
As this woman is going through every box that she could reach, Mark and I kept looking at each other with a "this woman is a Hoarder look."  We, well I am a BIG fan of the shows on A&E and TLC about Hoarders so we knew one when we saw one!  She was making quite a pile of stuff while telling me that she is in the process of moving to a new house in Provo and shouldn't really be buying more stuff. 
We almost died when she asked Mark to take some of the boxes out of the truck because she couldn't reach them!  Finally after looking through everything she could, even the boxes in the recycle bin, she says to me, "I remind myself of one of those Hoarders except I'm an organized Hoarder, I know where everything is."

It was all I could do to not die laughing.
If I see her on one of the shows on TV sometime I will let you know.

In the end my kids are $20 closer to getting a trampoline!!
