That's me. Do you see my joy? (My four
year old took this picture... she'll be so
happy I included this one.) |
So... I actually missed the holiday by a day. I was out working yesterday and time just didn't allow for it. Plus, one step leads to another, and well, it was just easier to leave to my weekly cleaning day. Mine is Friday. Most people like Fridays. I loathe the cleaning on Friday, so I enjoy them a bit less than perhaps you do.
(What? She hates cleaning?! She's an organizer?!) - that may have been you...

Scrubbing down the drawers.

Yes, I hate cleaning. Organizing is not cleaning. I totally Internet dictionary link you for the difference:
cleaning organizing Did you see the definition 3 of cleaning? It says "killing". Sometimes I feel like it kills me just a little inside. So, in conclusion, I like to organize. I will totally wipe of a pantry cabinet before putting your canned beans on it, but you get to clean the floor later. :-)

So, I digress from the happiness of the holiday. It's clean out your fridge day which does border on cleaning and organizing. One, I did have to get out a toothpick and pick away at the orangish grime that was lurking in the back corner of the fridge. But two, I got to decide how I could more orderly put back all my condiments... should I alphabetize, or put kid friendly ones together, color coordinate, or just totally go nuts and put my mustard and worchestershireshireshire sauce together? The possibilities were truly endless. (heart-flutters!)

My husband was taking pictures.
Not sure why he thought you might
want a butt shot, but here it is
for your enjoyment. |
I admit, I'm not home for the holidays, so my fridge is way on the empty side. I pulled all the shelves (except the bottom) out in the morning before leaving for the day, so they could warm up. Upon returning, I washed those down with hot water and soap and some vinegar based cleanser. I arranged the shelves back, wiped down the sticky jars and bottles, and placed them back in the fridge.
Upon finishing cleaning the fridge, there was the pile of crumbs and crud on the floor to deal with. Of all the chores I loathe the most, it's cleaning the floor that makes me the most cranky. Maybe because it is always last. I even got a Swiffer Wet Jet, because the lady in the
commercial looked so happy when she was done, I thought it would help. I don't think they make it 100% clear what's in that cup at the end, but I beg to bet it's might be more than coffee.

Anyways, hope you had a great Clean Out Your Fridge Day, too! Send me some pictures!
