But it's OK, I thrive amidst the chaos :-) Right now, among way too many other things, are my wedding rings (engagement, wedding, anniversary) because, as much as I love them (and him), they get tight when it's humid, and I take them off at night.

There are lots of puppy photos (though I will probably never own a pup, I wistfully enjoy the pics), and butterflies and other little gifts presented to me to help me through the grief of loosing our middle son. For a bit of whimsy there is a plaque proclaiming, "Fat snowmen last longer."
