Cleaning ...

[texchan]

Still in a bad mood, kinda mad, kinda hurt. It'll pass, but ... yeah, probably not today.

But (!!) I did some cleaning. I cleaned out the cabinet above my microwave. It's a much-neglected cabinet and had quite a few expired foody things in it. Tossed those. Although feeling guilty about the waste, I'm very happy with the feeling of just getting the old out of there! My microwave currently (until I decided exactly what to do with my kitchen and can afford to change it) sits on one of my countertops. I hate that, as my kitchen doesn't have a lot of counter space, to start with. The microwave had an extra bread box lying on top, where I kept a few cooking things: my onion chopper, a slicer, etc. Once I cleaned out the upper cabinet, I had plenty of room to put those cooking things in there. So the breadbox is gone from the microwave now. Whoopeee! You have no idea how much I HATED having that breadbox there. I had to move it every time I wanted to get my olive oil or any cooking oil, and it was a pain in the hoo-hah. I should have moved it a long time ago. Now the extra breadbox is on another counter -- in what would otherwise be dead space -- holding vitamins and stuff like that. So, I some clutter off a counter and hidden away and got rid of the dreaded/hated breadbox 'o' doom at the same time. WIN!!

A little bit of happiness peeking in around the corners of my grey mood. Yay.

Wanna do my kitchen next? Not only does the top of the microwave have clutter, but the top of the fridge, etc., etc. . . XP

And. . . about your previous entry. . . I can't seem to escape that "club" either. I did finally learn to stop waiting by the phone when someone says they'll call me. . . It's "groundhog Day" the high school version. :P

zOMG! *GLOMS YOU!!!*

Heh. I will gladly come over and do your kitchen, just for the fun of yakking and visiting with you! But, you might be disappointed. After all, I've only gotten one cabinet in mine cleaned out. That leaves a LOT of stuff that ... well, hasn't been done. *nervous laugh*

Re: the previous entry ... yeah. That club sux. =(

*GLOMS YOU summore*

I'd try to give back the membership card to that club, if I knew who slipped it in my wallet when I wasn't looking. Why couldn't someone slip money in there? >_<'

I put stuff away and I swear it must grow legs and walk back out. *grump*

Yesh!! I have often thought this about all the clutter around my own house. Well, not the laundry. The laundry, I know, has no legs. It's all cooped up together in the laundry bin. Which is why it multiplies. And ... well, multiplies. o_o urk!

I had to laugh about this entry, because we have a breadbox on top of our microwave. Though we legitimately keep break in ours as otherwise our cats jump on the counter and eat it through the bag.

I feel your pain about small kitchen spaces, ours has two thin countertops, roughly the width of a dinner plate. We brought in a freestanding counter/cupboard, but it's of little help, there's no space for anything so it always feels like an accomplishment when we clear some space. So congratulations on your space clearing, I am thoroughly jealous.
