Anyone who knows me- knows that I love to organize. So today when I was faced with 6 glorious hours of freedom quiet while the kids were at school, I decided to clean out some of my kitchen drawers. You know after I ate some bon-bons and watched my stories that is. So here is what it looked like before. Note the toothpicks from 1950. They have card symbols on them…ya know for the ever present Bridge party housewives were having in the 1950′s I guess. Either way I think they are awesome. So awesome that I have never used them- even though I have owned them for about 15 years. Its pathetic really.
And now for the after. Lets take a look and because I am lame you will need the vision of Superman to read it. But that was the best I could do people. I was tired after all this cleaning stuff.
I think by looking in my drawers you can tell a lot about me. I am huge cookie maker and all around great chef. I make home-made pizza, prefer my food round, and I count every calorie and fat gram in every home cooked meal I make each night. I squeeze my own orange juice by hand and I make delicious pot roasts which are cooked to perfection using great electronic meat thermometer. And I have a very healthy appetite for fine wine and beverages requiring a bottle opener. Don’t believe every thing you see people. This is proof.

You sound like me, I love baking, my drawers use to be this packed too but I can’t handle wine, half a glass and I’m toasted!
You had me at “6 glorious hours of quiet”….obviously you and I need to bond over organizing and the positive qualities of having OCD.
I wonder what a toothpick from the 1950′s would taste like–ewwww. These drawers are all about good intentions–good post Marcy.
Pot roast and cookies for dessert. Different but worth a try. When will it be ready?!?! HEHEHE.
Sweet. So you’re coming over to do mine next, right? While you sort through all the junk I’ll give you a personal demonstration on using wine/bottle openers. I’m good at that. So, hmm, Wednesdays or Fridays are good for me.
:D
OMG. You crack me up. I have like 17 wine openers in my drawers. The rest I keep pretty organized and up to day. I hate clutter. A little OCD about it.
Nice! So, when can I expect you at my house to organize my drawers? ;)
Thank you for the prayers! Right now, the hurricane has turned yet again so we should be ok. Hopefully our “neighbors” will be too.
Your commentary on your pics totally cracked me up.
You are a brave soul…I could never bare the contents of my kitchen drawers. Heck, I have enough trouble just getting them open because there is so much junk shoved in them.
Thought I’d finally pop out here and say hi and delurk!
I use my cookie cutters once a year, maybe twice, so I finally put them in a bag and sent them to the auxiliary cooking storage shelf in the basement. I figure I can dig ‘em out every December.
I like to sprinkle my bottle openers about the house like pixie dust, just so I’m always prepared. Other than that, who cares?
;) wink wink
I need to organize my kitchen drawers but I can’t seem to pull myself away from the bonbons and stories…you’re a stronger woman than me :))
I am cracking up!!! Thanks for the look inside the drawers, pics are great and made the post a lot of fun.
Oooh, you get 6 hours? Wanna come do my kitchen tomorrow? LOL. Thanks for showing it Can Be Done! Blessings, Whitney PS, I like the toothpicks too!
