ode to caboodles

as a teenager in the 1990s, there were many things that i wanted. lots of those things now seem silly and out dated (for example, mc hammer music, taz tshirts [i never wanted those], and rollerblades). caboodles was not one of these things. neither silly nor outdated, this brilliant modernization of the tackle box was central to my pre-teen and teen years, and the organization of my very important junk. teal, pink, and navy blue are still some of my favorite colors, and organizing is still my favorite hobby. on our thanksgiving weekend visit to my parents' house, i found and re-claimed this awesome item. no longer home to half-heart-shaped BFF necklaces and charm bracelets, it now houses ramona's stickers and crayons, and it is working beautifully.
