Rubber Band Man

Anyone remember that old song, Rubber Band Man? Geesh, I think that’s the title. I can hear the melody in my head, which probably means it will be stuck there all day 🙂

I’ve had a “rubber band ball” for at least twenty years. I kept one in one of my deep drawers at work for years, and I have had one at home for the longest time. Don’t ask me why I keep rubber bands, but I do, and twistie ties too 🙂

I’ve been doing a lot of decluttering lately (more on that in a coming post). One of the things I cleaned out was one of the two junk drawers in my kitchen. I started with the smaller one, naturally! I found this nice Oxo drawer organizer at Marshall’s and bought it. But, my rubber band ball doesn’t fit in the drawer any more, it had gotten too big. So, I had to let go of it (although, currently, it’s in Beau’s toy box!).

Here’s my rubberband ball:

A picture of Beau playing with it, he was really confused by it, it’s heavy and bounces really funny!

And one of the final product of the junk drawer (sorry, didn’t take a “before photo”, but believe me, it was messier than this!):

It’s actually nice to open that drawer and look for something now!

    Wow, that is a big one! I have a rubber band ball, too, but it’s not that big.

    I’ve been decluttering lately, as well. LOVE the way it makes me feel to have a less cluttered space.

  2. Desert Songbird Said,

    Okay, now that you’ve posted a photo of Beau, I want to see a video of him trying to play with the rubber band ball. *grin*

  3. Karen Said,

    That’s so funny because I buy rubber band balls, to use the rubber bands. I’m thinking that mine is really shrinking down and I need another one. I have no idea where all the rubber bands go, it’s like socks that lose their mates. They just disappear.

  4. Debi Said,

    Seems like forever since I’ve seen a picture of Beau! He’s still soooo cute!!!! And it looks like he’s happy you had to eject the rubber band ball from the drawer, huh? 😀

  5. Lauren@Baseballsandbows Said,

    The drawer looks great! I need to get one of those drawer organizers. All my stuff is just thrown in. That is a BIG rubber band ball, and Beau looks so cute playing with it (and I love the sleeping picture above).

  6. Kimmy Said,

    That is one impressive rubber band ball!
