Stroke Of Genius

Yesterday I got a wee bit more purging/organizing accomplished.

Rhys' closet before:


Rhys' closet after:


With Rhys' room complete, I had a sudden/random urge to deal with my Tupperware drawer.

Before:


The lids were kept seperately, in these fancy dancy holders on the pantry door, circa 1956. When people stayed at our place, they could never find the lids. Not the most user friendly concept:


After:


Fancy Dancy lid holders, be gone!:


At first I was simply going to chuck it all, and go buy the new Rubbermaid 'Easy Find' lid collection, but thought twice, because what's the point of purging if I'm just going to go out and buy more stuff? I know there is more Tupperware lurking in other kitchen cupboards, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it...

As I was about to toss out all the un-matched lids and such, I had a stroke of genius.


Rhys is thinking: "Really? You want me to PLAY with this JUNK?"


Still skeptical:


Oh, okay. I think there's some dried cookie dough on this lid...


Today: Warren is off. I'm going to exercise this morning. Then Warren has a lunch date with a buddy. Then we're off to visit Nana & GranDan (Warren's parents) before they leave for 2 weeks to Mexico. They haven't seen their grandson is ages, due to all the germs at our house. Then tonight - Glee Club! Will it be a swing routine, or another sassy routine in heels? Bring it on!

Look at you go! You've become an organizational wizzard! Guess we won't see you on "Hoarders" any time soon ;-)

Brilliant! Instead of letting him play with the matched ones, and potentially lose more lids, he gets the ones you can't use anyway. He'll learn to love them!

Totally BRILLIANT recycling! Well done. (I'm off to look for stray lids for Jak...)
