my life the passed 48 hours

the black hole/our fourth bedroom is seriously coming along.

i have been organizing my guts out, shipping the world to DI, and enjoying every minute of it.

problem is, i'm supa ADD when it comes to cleaning & organizing. like, i'll be cleaning along & find myron's yearbook, and then next thing you know, i've looked through all our yearbooks, emailed a few friends from high school...got all teary eyed reminiscing about random memories o' childhood, etc.

then i'll start cleaning again, and i'll get hot. {temperature wise} so, i'll turn on the fan. and i notice the fan is dusty. so then i'll dust the fan & clean the fixture via soapy water.

back to organizing. and i'll miraculously remember to change the laundry... so i figure i better go do it, while i'm thinking about it. and there's no hangers. so i'll collect the hangers from upstairs. and then sort myron's shirts by color. and wonder *yet again* why-oh-why he owns a polo shirt covered in pineapples.

then i'll start up organizing again, and notice my "skinny" clothes sitting there in a box. so i'll try them on to see if *just maybe* they fit me. 75 outfits later, i am depressed. so i plan a new diet & exercise regimen.

you think i'm kidding.
i assure you, i'm not.

anywhooooo...

this weeks project:
organizing the food storage, relocating the food storage, get a workout transporting the food storage, hoping i never really hafta live off said food storage, and in turn:

clearing out the black hole's closet for other random storage items.
{ie: myron's gun arsenal, TN mission paraphernalia, my old doll collection, etc.}

i thought it was only gonna take the duration of a naptime.
{insert loud, loud laugh here}
and i was very wrong.


i sorted everything by food category.
then i put everything in order of date in their respective sections.
and then i snaked it under our beddy-by, for easy rotation.


and i put some under twin bed number one in the black hole:


and twin bed number two:


the sweet stuff is under chlo's bed, of course:


i labeled the oldest can, so i could remember where to grab from.


shortening or salt anyone?
i kinda ordered a lil more than i thought i had.
oooooppps.


and then i used a few old cans to organize the office supplies.
{told ya i was ADD}


i'm so stoked this project is behind me.
i could/might barf if i see another #10 can.

i'm saving up for a grinder attachment for my kitchen-aid,
so i can starting using the massive amounts of wheat that lie under me & my as we slumber.

i'm gonna try a few food-storage-esque recipies this weekend to share w/ my achievement day girlies, & i'll post 'em if & only if: they are ediable.

anyone have any yummy-ish dessert ones?

have a superb weekend even though the d-backs lost last night.
k? k.
