Crazy ,even without the cat....

Hi ya Peeps!







This is a picture of an actual drawer in my kitchen.Do you know what is in it?


That is 5 years worth of Chinese mustard and soy sauce and a few fortune cookies from the Chinese delivery.


I cleaned it out today and man, was it hard to throw that stuff away.




Any sane person is probably asking "why in the hell would you save it in the first place? and why was it hard to get rid of it?"

Believe me, I asked myself those questions too.







Did I think we were going to have a famine and we'd have nothing to eat but soy sauce and hot mustard? Or maybe if we became poor that stuff could really spice up some spam and top ramen?






(not our actual trailer)











I finally had to face the fact that because we grew up po' , somewhere in the back of my mind ,I was actually afraid there would come a day when I would need some soy sauce or hot mustard and not be able to get it.










(IS actually us. Soul and me.
She's the cute blonde baby.
I'm the homely brunette)





Then I had to FORCE myself to throw that shit away! And face the fact that I am a pack- rat. There.....I said it! At least I understand it now. Next project ...my 100 pair shoe collection.




Now watch, tomorrow there will probably be a shortage of soy sauce and hot mustard.


ARE YOU A PACK RAT?

Go take the quiz, I'll wait.


Here's MY results. They got me dead right :)

Sentimental Storer

You're not just packing things in preparation of hibernation - you are downright scared of throwing things out. You keep anything and everything. Whether you cling to them for sentimental reasons, or for the fear of not having something when you need it - you need to let go. Go through old papers, clothes and magazines. Ask yourself - when was the last time you used this item? If it's been over a year - toss it. If you are just too attached to the item keep it in a labeled or itemized box, so you can easily find it. Have a garage sale. Consider purchasing filing cabinets and storage items to help keep clutter to a minimum. Freeing yourself of the mess will lighten your life too. You'll have more space and less stress.

Yes, I know I need drawer liner. It's been on my list for 5 years now.
