You Can Do It- Just Take One Step to the Trashcan

I do this crazy thing where I purchase things we go through in multiples. This way if we run out, all I have to do is pull another one from the cabinet and we're back in business.

I was delighted this morning to see that the husband had taken the time to find the replacement soap (especially given our last problem with soap- evidence here). But really. How hard would it have been to just put that emptier than empty soap container in the trash?

Cereal in the Fridge. Yeah, Sure.

Imagine my surprise when I opened up the fridge this morning and saw an uneaten bowl of (dry) cereal in the fridge.

Here's what I think happened. The husband poured himself a bowl of cereal. Opened the fridge to get some milk. Remembered I had left him 1/2 of a breakfast sandwich leftover from my breakfast date yesterday. Apparently instead of putting the cereal back in the box where it belongs, he just plopped it down in the fridge.

PS- that carmelized onion dip is off the hook crazy good! 

Bathroom Kitchen Soap

I just returned from a week away. Delighted to see the (nasty) sink clear of dishes. And then my eyes naturally scanned down to the bars of USED bathroom soap that the husband brought out from the shower. You know, instead of going to the store and purchasing a new bottle of kitchen hand soap (if there wasn't an extra bottle handy below the sink). 

My Thanskgiving "Help"

We're hosting 10 people for Thanksgiving today. And this is the sight I find at NOON. 

Inventive or Dangerous?

I can't really determine if this is inventive or dangerous. (Ignore our ridiculous old school crappy oven). Actually I can, it's dangerously inventive.

Three Year Old Dirty Laundry...

In July my friend Joann from the Bay Area emailed me this picture:

Joann shared, "I had noticed that we were getting low on towels and I couldn't figure out where they were going. I decided to check the husband's hamper and discovered 3 towels there. He does his own laundry (yeah!) but usually only picks out the most important items to wash, which means that the dirty towels had been sitting in that hamper for months, ignored. While digging around for dirty towels, I discovered this - a garishly ugly T-shirt that our son made for him. He wore it once and promptly threw it in his hamper. In 2011."
