My car's junk drawer

A couple of weeks ago I was searching in my car console for the 100-foot tape measure to measure a new listing. It wasn't in there (it turned up later in our garage) but a crazy assortment of other stuff was.

Of course I made a list of all the contents, but I was pretty sure it fell into the "no one cares what you had for lunch" category so I didn't post it. However, I've been inspired by Lib's yellow bag post, so here's my version.

Console contents:

Notepad
iPod adapter
Rechargeable flashlight
Pantyhose
"Songs of the South" mix tape made by Dad
Sunglasses case
Trivial Pursuit card
Chamber of Commerce member discount card
Strip of five Hallmark gold seals
Mint from T.G.I. Friday's
Ancient bottle of Advil
Bandaids

The main thing I don't like about Matt's new car is that it doesn't have a center console. But looking over this list, that's probably a good thing. The notepad I do use a lot, and it's nice to have a flashlight (though it belongs in the trunk).

Everything else wound up in my console by virtue of the junk-drawer phenomenon -- to which I am SO susceptible.
