RE: My First 5 Min Freewrite Tuesday Mango
I don't know that I leave little trails, but I do have to ask my wife periodically if she's seen something I've put down. Now, in my case, my wife is just as apt to move something into what she believes is a more appropriate place than just leave it where I left it (which I would prefer, because I'm bound to want it again). But, everything has its place, even if that place can change.
I like play on words, so for me this was fun. :)
Yes I think it is quite common to just leave things out for a quick retrieval. I am a bit slow as I still can not grasp why it is not easier to find things that are put away. Hubs loves things to look neat he just hates when I put stuff up lol It is almost a game in our house now kinda like Easter every day :D
I probably wouldn't mind it so much if the "place where things go" didn't change periodically. I've put away things exactly where I found them only to discover the next time I went looking for them, they weren't there, because the new and improved "place where things go" was somewhere else. And when I can't find them immediately, it's my problem.
We don't even want to talk about what goes on with the refrigerator. :)
Oh that is so funny! The new place really truly is improved sometimes. That is kind of the point in cleaning. You and my hubs would get along great.
The refrigerator yeah some how I always end up adjusting that stuff ever time I open the door. Beer in front of the milk is a common thing. Also all those little jars that go in the door seem to wander onto the shelves.
Inevitably, the stuff I want is in the back. It seems to be frequently used things, too, so I'm not sure why that happens. I'd organize the refrigerator to my liking, but it would be destroyed before the day was over.
I think I just need to sit down one of these days and design a refrigerator that allows you to put all kinds of foods in it without running out of space. In other words, you always have space and everything can be found, no matter where it is.
I have no idea how to design it, but maybe I'll get frustrated enough one day to just sit down and waste hours trying.
Oh dear I foresee one of those redneck inventions looming on the horizon. Maybe you just need a lazy susan for the fridge.
A lazy susan would be perfect. And if they just rotated by themselves, even better. I was thinking along the lines of a fridge that you loaded from the top, so maybe like a freezer chest. So you could get an overview of everything that was in it.
Even something like a magazine rack where you have multiple levels that can be spun. That would actually be the best. When you opened it, they would spin out so you could go through them, maybe even individually too so you wouldn't have to spin everything, and then they would tuck away nicely when you were done. Not sure how the balance would work, but I'm sure there's a way to do it. :)
Well with those kind of plans in the works your poor wife probably best not leave you alone for long. I come up with some awesome ideas. The problem is to get everyone out of the house long enough to implement.
