I was planning a surprise for my girlfriend. I built this big thing for her. Then I decided to log in as her (I know her info) to put her in the right place for her to find it. But when I logged in as her, I was standing where I logged off as myself. She also had all of MY items, not hers,
Since she hasn't been on a long time, I reset her "players.dat" file with a back-up and tried again...same problem.
What the what?
I would love a fix for this soon so I can still surprise her for her birthday
Because inventories are not per-account, but per-computer. As this is a single player world, when you login as any player, that player would assume all the possessions and locations, as, there is only one player.

Well we use that world on LAN, but her computer is down for the count so I was just going to let her use mine.
But dang...that makes things harder. Well, I'll figure something out. Thanks.
In a SP world that is open to LAN, the host user has 1 inventory, and this is loaded from level.dat It's also saved to players/<username>.dat but these files are in a different format. Guest users load and save their data from players/<username>.dat
So when YOU logged in, you loaded level.dat and saved to you.dat, then when you logged in as HER, you loaded level.dat and saved to her.dat Leaving all three files having basically the same player status.
It is possible to run 2 copies of minecraft on one computer, running the SP world in one as the host, opening to LAN, and using the second as a guest user. Depends on your computer how well this works.
