[info] Merry Christmas!!!! Yes, I know. These have been sitting around since Easter. They’re some hard, nasty peeps now. So why did I keep them all this time? Well, there is a story behind that…
After creating a stop motion video with my Peeps, I placed them in a plastic bag, in hopes I could find something to do with them. I touched all of them while making the video, so clearly nobody wanted to eat them. Here’s the video…

So, again, you’re asking why do I still have these? I had them sitting in a bag back in our tech room at the church. My coworker Lindsey was pregnant and also supposed to sing that morning. Someone came into the tech room asking if we had a plastic bag quick, because Lindsey wasn’t feeling so well. I immediately grabbed the bag of peeps, dumped them into a storage container that had a bunch of papers in it. I just never got around to cleaning them out until now.
I suppose this is a good example of why not to hang on to stuff. It takes a lot more time to go through things after saving it for a long period of time. Sometimes we never get around to getting rid of stuff unless we’re forced to. Sometimes it’s moving, sometimes it’s gridlock or maybe it’s some other reason. Why didn’t I just dump these in the trash can in the first place?
