I have a light hearted checklist to share with you . . . be honest and admit if any or all of these statements are true.

  1.    I own costume jewelry, pins, badges and brooches that I do not wear (and for good reason).

  2.    I keep decorations that I do not want to decorate with.

  3.    I save items that I know will be useful someday, but I can never find them when I need them.

  4.    I have records and tapes that no one has listened to in years.

  5.    I have been known to buy something I had no previous inclination to own because it was a bargain that was too good to pass up.

  6.    I have magazines around that are more than one year old.

  7.    I have old wedding announcements and greeting cards squirreled away from acquaintances I can scarcely remember.

  8.    My medicine cabinet holds bottles of ancient vitamins and antique prescriptions.

  9.    I have 12 or more cups and saucers, but only use mugs.

10.    I have money hidden in clever places.

11.    Everything in my closet fits.
