A voracious sofa

We have a lovely sofa, a member of the family practically. It's been in the family a long time. Mike's grandpa made it, we've re-upholstered it twice. It's great for napping on. Not so great for getting OUT of, because it's deep. So, settle in and enjoy it.

But it has a voracious appetite. I was hoping that one of the things it might have most recently consumed was Angie's missing phone. So I started digging into the deep recesses of the cushions.

This is a sad commentary on my lack of house keeping skills. "Out of sight, out of mind" works well for me, and well, under the couch cushions is very much OUT of SIGHT! I have not cleaned out the couch in a very long time and it shows.

Sorry, Donna--no phone.

But I DID find the following: (disgusting, huh?)

One CD in case
1 cardboard sock label
1 sports bottle straw
1 red rudder to an old water toy (I think)
1 handheld Yahtzee video game (with batteries, still running)
1 pair white anklet socks (probably Caroline's)
1 packaged free sample Shout color catcher sheet
1 UNO card (a red 3)

1 tube lip balm
1 plastic screw driver from toy tool belt
1 one-foot strip of blue label-maker tape
1 refrigerator magnet for Rotor Rooter, one other small one with the word "good" on it
1 piggy bank plug
1 wrapper for a set of foam ear plugs (but no ear plugs)
1 Milk Duds, 1 Nestles Crunch, 1Nerds, 1 Reeses Peanut butter mini candies wrapper; One See's mint wrapper
1 Ice Monkey
