All month long I put off cleaning out these two drawers in the kitchen because I was sure it would take forever. Funny, since these drawers were part of the inspiration for participating in this month.
I first cleaned and organized these drawers during the first William Morris Project two years ago. I haven’t cleaned them since, and two things have happened since then. One: life. Cooking and stuff. Two: Mikey and Nico now prepare their own snacks. Not all the time, but often enough for the drawers to see some abuse. I don’t say anything, though, because it’s a great help to me and they love preparing their snacks. They feel so mature and so important, especially when I ask them to make me something, too. I limit my requests to when I’m feeling strong of stomach or sure of the outcome. One time Mikey made a celery and cheddar salad. My God.
I don’t think this took me 10 minutes. I didn’t have to throw anything away. It was just a matter of placing things where they belong. Some things are in the dishwasher (like the rest of my measuring cups) but there wasn’t anything there that I don’t use or shouldn’t be there. It was a great way to end this series.
BECAUSE THIS SERIES IS OVER.
YES!!!
They were simple and easy little things, but I’m still glad to be done. Thanks for taking the ride along with me again this year. I need to now catch up on book club, a few posts I’ve been dying to write, and other general nonsense.
Thanks again!
Job well done and inspirational. I just emptied laundry room area to prep for furnace installation tomorrow and OMG, could I have any more stuff??? Lets just say I need inspiration any where I can get it. What’s the next book club book?
This was a great series and lots of fun. I did a few things and like you said most were under 15 min.
Thanks ,Jules!
Congratulations on the month! After all that it went pretty fast (Well it did for me anyway. :) ) Thank you for sharing it – seriously, how many people can write an interesting post on paper towels AND get dozens of interesting responses? :)
I know it was just everyday stuff, but seriously–thank you for sharing. Even though I didn’t take it on as a project, it helped me remember every couple days to accomplish some little things of my own. Cleaned out my purse, my makeup bag, desk drawer, one of those catch-all baskets in the front hall, the top of the workbench in the basement…
me too! it rubbed off!
Congrats on all the organization! Hope it stays that way (hahaha)
Thanks for the inspiration! October is the perfect month for these kinds of projects– the kids are settled in school and the madness of the holidays has not yet begun.
I appreciate that sometimes it can’t be easy for ladies to put aside their favorite high heel shoes,
or stilettos, or even actually forget about them altogether, but on a very
serious note associated with backaches, as well as various other health issues, I am greatly concerned about what damage these shoes
are doing, as well as the long term issues that they are associated with.
You can also locate out a lot of details on the web about working out.
But you need to take the directives of a physician first before
using such pain relievers because sometimes you may be required to take more in order to effectively reduce the pain.
