A Testament to my efficiency (or messiness)

WARNING: This post contains some disturbing material, I apologize in advance and hope you don't lose all respect for me.

I decided that while Keegan was taking a nap to day I would clean out my car. This is quite a task and usually only happens two to three times a year. If you know me, you know I like statistics, and even better if they are stupid stats.

So I present to you, Stupid Useless Statistics from me cleaning out my extremely messy car:



  • Number of tools recovered: 1 (philips screwdriver)
  • Number of writing utencils recovered: 4
  • Number of water bottles found: 7
  • Number of paystubs found: 3
  • Amount of money recovered: 27¢
  • Days between today and date of oldest newspaper found:135 (September 3, 2008)
  • Capacity of cups/cans containing caffinated beverages (in fl oz): 616.8 (4.8 gallons)
  • Number of cups/cans from above that were not Red Bull, Starbucks, or Cherry Coke Zero: 0

  • Dollar amount of reciepts (excluding ATM reciepts): 675.44 (60 found)
  • Percent of dollars from above reciepts used to purcase fast food: 46
  • Smallest "total" amount on a reciept found: 0.54
  • Number of days old of the oldest piece of trash (with a known date): 146 (Vegas bus ticket)
  • Grossest thing found: An entire Jack in the Box taco (<--yeah, it grossed me out too)
  • Number of owners of that car that will try to make less of a mess: 1

So as you can see from the photos what I did was actually quite impressive. I managed to fit all of that in my car in a very compact space. I dare you, no... challenge you to try and fit all of that in the front passenger seat of your car.

(For the record I keep the back seat clean, so I don't lose my son like that banned IKEA commercial)

That is AWEsome. And disgusting. I'm not sure which sentiment is greater, but I did enjoy the stats! (Note to the blogosphere: if you assumed we take MY car when we go somewhere together, you are right!)

Ew!! That would make me insane! The hubby hates when we go on trips becuase I get so crazy when the kids drop candy wrappers or books on the floor. I'm like a maniac cleaning the car out everytime we stop.

I'm actually a little bit impressed. Disgusted, but still impressed. :)
