    There are a few items that I can never have too many of in my house. Either because they get lost and I can't live without them or because its useful to have one of them in every room.

    Here's my partial list:

    Scissors
    Pens
    Post-it notes
    Clocks - I have to know what time it is
    Umbrellas - Several by every door. I buy ten at a time from Dollar Tree and give them to guests if it's raining.
    Computers - In case I need to look something up on the internet. The only room in my house without one is the bathroom.
    Tape Measures

    Books
    TP (I'm a cheap b*stard, but the cornhole must have quilted double ply and the squat-n-search routine when there is no TP must be avoided at all costs)
    Candles- Flashlights- etc
    Bottled water
    Pens-paper- etc

    I don't care what time it is, and I don't mind getting wet when it rains.
