I'm very tired (can I have an IV of caffeine please?) and feeling very boring so you get a picture of my pantry today. I've never had one before so it's still rather novel to me. Speaking of novel, I should probably be working on NaNoWriMo. Have I ever mentioned my mind wanders in weird directions when I'm tired? Drives Greg nuts! hehe Oh yeah, the pantry...
Starting from the top left, there are suppose to be a gazillion kid cereal boxes where the basket of magnet alphabet letters are (long story). But since there aren't, this means I need to go to the grocery store. Drat! And then there are some paper goods and leftover snacks from last Saturday's soccer game.
Next shelf down we have 5 boxes of spaghetti (from an Ohio store) and 10 cans of Skyline chili (a Cincinnati, Ohio tradition but I bought them while in Indiana). We're all about eating exotic imported foods you know.
The next shelf is stuff like powdered sugar and various vinegars and cooking stuff. My mother-in-law had helped unpack the kitchen so this shelf was once very neat and nice and now she's probably cringing at what a mess I've made since I just toss things back in when I'm done. Greg is probably saying in his head, "It takes two seconds to put them back in an orderly fashion." Ha! I have two more seconds to um, hmm there's not much that can be done in two seconds, huh?
Going down another, this is the bread shelf although somehow I ended up with way too many hamburger buns and only half a loaf of sliced bread left. The box of Hefty trash bags is suppose to be on a lower shelf, I guess it didn't like the Ziplock bags and is trying to climb the social ladder of my pantry.
Next we have a mess, err some canning jars, two blenders (I think Kelly added the Pepsi can on top of one), and Ziplock bags of every size (snack, sandwich, quart, gallon) and style (freezer, storage, sliders, blue+yellow=green, etc). I like Ziplock bags. Oh and there's some aluminum foil, it's just screaming out for attention there.
On the floor we have a trash can, paper towels, diet Coke (which no one will ever drink), Pepsi (which is just used to decorate blenders), a bucket, and broom & dustpan. Those with good eyes might notice the Swiffer Wet refills. I have to print a retraction to my mean Swiffer rant. I hadn't made it back to Target to return it yet and then KristyK mentioned her kids like to use the Swiffer. And since I love pawning housework off on the children, I gave it a whirl. The Swiffer stays. Although I still might try damp paper towels as refills.
There ya have it, my pantry. Not nearly as exciting as a HNT picture but about all I can manage before I fall... zzzzzzzzzzz....
