My Husband Is Going To Be So Proud Of Me!

I'm sure in most homes, the title of my blog post today would be followed by some awesome thing that the writer had accomplished.  Ya know, something important like finding the cure to cancer or writing a book or getting a big promotion.  At my house, it means I finally cleaned out the freezer.  He's been asking me to do it for a year or more.  Sad, but true. 

For those of you who know me, you know that I am not now, nor have I ever been a Neat Nellie (that gene skipped me).  I'm actually just a bit of a slob.  No, I'm not a hoarder. 


YIKES!  Even I'm not that bad.  Photo from Google Images.  Bless her heart!

Amanda said at the beginning of the year that we need love our homes.  In an effort to do that, I have been attempting a little organization.  Yesterday it was the pantry.  Today, the freezer.  Are y'all ready for this?



This is what every inch of my freezer looked like this morning - overflowing with stuff.  SCARY!  Wanna see something even worse?


I found this in the bottom of one of the drawers.  The date on that ham is 6/2007.  My mother is cringing right now!  YIKES!  This is why my Hubby has wanted the freezer cleaned out.  I think he was afraid I might accidentally cook something like this and serve it for dinner.  I might be a slob, but I'm not stupid!

Anyway, wanna see it now?



(Sigh)  Isn't that better?  Now I gotta go to the grocery store.  Wanna see how much I got out of the freezer?


I nearly broke my back taking that out to the trash.  Maybe I should've put a note on the trash bag that says "Warning, this trash bag is heavier than it looks.  Lift with your knees dude!"  I wouldn't want the trash guy to sue me when he hurts his back putting this into the truck. 

Okay bloggy peeps, I'm off to the grocery store.  Wanna sneak peek at my new project?



Hopefully it will work out and I can share tomorrow or Monday.  Have a great Thursday!

Pantry Organization

So, I'm sure many of you have seen all of the wonderful drool-worthy pantries around blogland.  This will not be one of those amazing pantry renovations with fancy paint and stenciling.  Why?  Well, because time and money, as usual, are low and there are too many projects that need to be done around here.  I need to spread the money around instead of spending money on my pantry.  So, I bought a few plastic bins, I cleaned out all the crap and I got organized, at least somewhat.  It's not completely finished, but I'll share my progress anyway.


Isn't that lovely?


Unorganized chaos.

Now, wanna see the after?

Please excuse the lone fruit roll up thing on the top of my stack of bins.  Durn kids!



Is it stilll chaotic?  Well, maybe somewhat, but it's definitely better.  Woo Hoo!

I'm linking up to Leslie's Purge Party.  Come on over and join in.
