I’m ashamed……..of my junk drawer! I recently posted a questions on Facebook asking if I WAS THE ONLY ONE to have a junk drawer. You all responded making me feel so much better. It’ turns out that I AM NOT the only one! However, I must explain! You see, EVERYTHING in my life has to be organized, if it’s not, I can’t function-I’m only half joking. Ask Greg, he’ll tell ya-it drives him NUTS. I can’t stand clutter, I can’t deal with stuff on the floor (you know those bits and pieces you can feel under your feet in the kitchen–OHH HELL NO!) I don’t do “nick knacks or chatskis” and I certainly can’t stand it when my cupboards, drawers are not organized. I like to open up my pantry and know that all the canned vegetables are on this shelf, all the cereal are on this shelf and so on. I like to know that ALLLL the dish towels are in THIS drawer and that if I need a serving spoon it is in THIS drawer. Everything has a home……or so I thought!
Organized chaos I can handle….BUT not this! I like being able to explain to someone who–let’s say needs to find a pair of scissors…go to the second drawer and it should be on the left hand side. NOT…umm…well it’s in there somewhere! haha! Sooooo, here I am with all my junk drawer junkiness….showing it to the world! I vow to have this organized by next week. Dear Internet….please hold me to it! In the meantime, if you need any duct tape, pepper seeds, or a pair of rusty pliers….I’ve got’em, give me a buzz! Tee he he!
Sooo….other “junk drawer” people of the world…..I’m exposed!!!
Let’s see what we have here……Let’s just play, “Can you find it?” HAHAHA!
1. Fake “memo” money that Greg brought back from Vegas thinking he could “fool” everyone into thinking it was real money. I think the memo lines on the back kinda gave it away. Although we did get a few people in the Walmart parking lot—I know, that’s BAD! lol
2. A phonebook…you know for those numbers you just can’t Google! HAHA
3. Three River’s Casino booklet-because were there all.the.friggen. time.
4. Seeds….watermelon and pepper seeds to be exact. I’m not much of a green thumb, can you tell? I’m told you have to PLANT them first before they will grow. Figures!
5. Walkie Talkies! Who doesn’t have walkie talkies in their junk drawer. All the cool kids do!
6. Link roller…that’s just a given.
7. Remote Controls. Greg works for Direct TV, so we have remote controls EVERYWHERE…NOT just in the junk drawer. I bet if you lifted the couch cushions, you’d find at least 3 or 4!
8. Goggles…..safety first!
9. Post Office Envelope….for that 24 Cents I still owe. THAT’s where THAT went!
10. Hand sanitizer. We obviously have dirty hand since it hasn’t been opened once!
11. Light switch plate. Somewhere in my house there is one missing from the wall. That’s how we roll!
12. Alphabet magnets for the fridge. Because that’s where they belong..in.the.drawer.
13. Pens and Pens and more PENS. The kind of pens you need when someone calls and they are no where to be found. YEP, we have LOTS of those!
14. Duct Tape. It’s how we fix things!
15. RUSTY Pliers….for when Mallory’s teeth need pulled.
16. Scissors…umm, to cut things???
17. Wire Hanger. AGAIN, somewhere in this house there is a mirror that needs hung. I will FIND IT!
18. Mallory’s Pizza spatchula-play spatchula! It’s plastic. I had to hide that from Greg. He kept trying to fling me with it. Revenge is sweet!
19. Furniture markers. I have a kid-enough said.
20. Glitter because you know……you NEVER know when you’re gonna need it to bedazzle something.
21. Lighter….for when the lights go out. Bow Chica Wow Wow!!
22. and a squirt gun…..for practical jokes…..which remind me………..HAHAHAHA!
