31 Days: The Key Situation

Today’s riveting hot mess is brought to you by my key ring.

That is two separate sets of keys and I always leave my house with both of them (this is where it gets beyond stupid).  The set on the lower right has my gym entry pass and my house key.  The set on the upper left has my tape measure, my grocery store savings card, and a beer opener.  It doesn’t have a house key because I only had one and consolidating my keys was just too hard apparently.  They both contain a key to my truck.

So if I lost my bag while I was out, I would have zero ways to start my vehicle and would have to explain this whole tangled tale to Jeff.

How I am allowed to go out in public without supervision is beyond me.

I use the tape measure frequently, but at the grocery store I type in my phone number and I prefer to open my beers at home.  I took everything apart and this is just freaking ridiculous.

I had another house key made at the hardware store and the two keys on the lower right are the only keys that go to anything.  Besides the two black keys to my truck, I have no idea what the other keys are for, none.

Jeff actually pointed out that the key on the UPS ring goes to our lock box.  I’m glad I’ve been driving around with it, it probably would be super easy to replace (eyeroll).

I put my gym card in my wallet and the tape measure in my bag.  I put one house key with one truck key and threw everything else away.

Today when I grab my one set of keys to head out, I will not look like a hot mess jankity janitor.

For 31 days, I’m tackling the Hot Mess.  Read all about it here.

    I am surprised you haven’t injured your shoulder from toting around the extra weight of all those keys! Who needs the gym when you get your tricep exercise just from leaving the house?! ;)

    I swear those little jobs take more energy to start than deciding to remodel a whole house. I love this monthly project!

    Have you not heard of KEYRING app for your phone? Scan in your saver cards and they appear on your phone. Some places can just scan it, others without the good scanners just type in your number. Wahoo. works for library cards, any store card, etc. super easy.

    I knew it! I kept wondering if we lived in the same area and your gym card confirms it! We moved here last October and your 31 days series is inspiring me to finish some house stuff. Like putting things on the walls. Whether or not it will induce action is another story….

    Completely off topic, but pottery barns catalog has a SQUIRREL and acorn salt and pepper shaker. 40$ a lil pricey, but it’s a squirrel salt shaker!!!
