oh lordy! it's true! i am boldly announcing to the world that i am coming out of the closet. and boy does it feel good. it was cramped and dark and i swear that light up pumpkin i got for halloween was leering evilly at me.
how did i get into this mess? no, don't blame paul. he warned me not to do it. he said he had seen things in the hall closet that would scare the staunchest horror fan. but i didn't believe him. nope. after all, i put that stuff in there. it's my fault that the bi fold doors were bulging in the middle. and even the cats were giving it a wide berth after using the litter box in the bathroom.
so, i bravely grabbed the doors and slowly opened them. nothing happened. not even the fibber magee and molly closet tricks. paul peeked around from the living room and begged me not to do it. the cats started meowing piteously. but i ignored them all and stepped between the doors. reaching for a box, i suddenly realized that the doors were closing on me and evil laughter filled my ears.
i heard paul yell, and the cats start to scratch the doors, but i was caught. luckily i had my flashlight, and it was working. i pushed to open the doors but they wouldn't budge. it was a tight fit considering i'm not a little gal. i turned carefully and looked at the boxes in front of me.
dammit! i knew i was a packrat, but this bad? i had things in here that were my nieces when she was a baby 11 years ago! and there were my christmas decorations. i swear, that angel playing a harp didn't look so mean when i bought it at a yard sale. and my coat and shawl....did they have arms coming out of them? oh my word! was that the scarecrow figurine coming at me.
i yelled for help and paul was trying to pull the doors open. then it happened, my flashlight went out. dammit, that will be the last time i buy batteries at the dollar store!
just as i felt something groping around my neck, my love paul, wrenched the doors open and i was safe.
closing the doors quickly, i turned to him and said in a shaken voice, "yard sale time."
lol!
so there you have it, i've come out of the closet. and boy do i feel better about it.

I got caught in my closet last year too. I was checking the circuit breaker box in there. I went in okay, but got stuck coming out.  Do ya think we need to ORGANIZE?

I swear that I was looking over Paul's shoulder as you described your adventure. 
I have a closet like that, but around here we call it a "garage".

I chose to do that a few days ago when I couldn't walk in the walkin closet in my daughter's bedroom lol. it was packed so full of stuff that she packed into it and we've only been in this house for 4 years lol. We're painting her room and remodeling now that she's in college and out comes the garbage bags, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, cuz while she's at school, what she doesn't know, she won't miss. Now she can actually walk into it and see what's hanging there and she doesn't have to wear the same four pairs of pants and shirts over and over again lol. tc Lost

oh goodie! i'm glad i'm not the only one with a possessed closet. like i told a friend i was sitting here a few moments ago, and then i could have sworn i heard growling coming from within.
i then realized it was paul snoring. 
come to think of it....he said the same thing to me the other day...only it was me asleep...
but i don't snore.....do i?
