This means the inside not the outside...I might be saving that for another day. I call my car an 'educator' car. That means the back seat and trunk are filled with books, papers, pens, and art supplies. Well, I happen to be an educator who is turning into a bit of a gym rat, so I also have socks, shirts, sneakers, and towels. Um, I'm also an educator/gym rat who is finicky when it comes to temperature, as I get cold very easily, so I also have a nice collection of sweaters, mittens, beanies, and scarves.
On a regular basis, it gets to a point where either the entire backseat is full or the entire floor of the backseat is full of the above mentioned...stuff. As I get into the car, I throw everything in the passenger seat. As other people get into the car, I throw everything on the back seat. When the dogs get into the car, it all goes on the floor. And so is the lovely cycle of 'All My Shit'.
A good hour or so later, it was CLEAN! I did find some treasures once I cleared everything out: old chips and popcorn, more pens(!), flyers for various events I never attended, lots of bobby pins, and $0.27.
What I think will be most amusing about this project is that over the course of the next twelve months, I will revisit the various tasks, concerns, and dreams I was mulling over at the beginning of the year. Who knows how concerned I'll be with cleaning my car in five months, but when the 2nd rolls around each time, I will be reminded of my initial traveling collection of paper, cloth, and plastic and the glorious months spent accumulating it all.
