Um. A teensy house update.

[valis2]

I've suddenly gotten a bit of motivation.

I tackled the guest bedroom today. Put all of the bedding in the wash. There were some doilies on the furniture, and there was this tall table with a long cover and doilies, and I discovered that the table was rather rickety and handmade out of pressboard, so all of that stuff is gone. I finally pulled stuff out of the closet and put the vacuum cleaners away. Discovered an aerobed in the closet! Huzzah!

Also rearranged more laundry supplies and discovered yet another container with watery liquid in it instead of soap. This has happened countless times so far. So that's another container I've eliminated, thank goodness.

But the best was when I went through the big cabinet in the kitchen, and the cabinet under the phone.

I can make a fort out of boxes of Ziploc bags. No, seriously, check it out.



A fort.

It feels nice to have organized them, at least. I'm getting down to the last few nooks and crannies.

Next? I start putting pictures on the wall. squee!

ETA: I should mention that I have these bags because my grandmother hoarded bags, so when she moved to the Assisted Living place we ended up taking some. And when we moved into this house (which was Husband's grandmother's) she left a ton of stuff. Including 23495623498 rolls of paper towels and boxes upon boxes of Ziploc bags. And laundry detergent. Hence the fort.

That's funny. Hint: keep them in one location from now on. :P

LOL! The bags are hilarious!

That's a lot of bags in one household. *blinks*

I luvs the ziploc fort. But how did you end up with so many boxes of bags???

[cordeliadelayne]

*sporfle* At least that's one thing you don't ever need to worry about buying *g*

We just ran out of ziplocs! If only there were a teleporter nearby both of us... XD

oh, man, yeah, when DH's grandma moved into a home we inherited a bunch of stuff including canned food she had been hoarding.

To think I have two containers of ziplock bags (bought for international travel purposes, as they tend to die on the road), and feel as if I have freezer bags to the next millenium!

*lol* Looks ike you'll end up with a negative shopping list like I have.

J tends to buy noodles and pesto without checking if we still have any. So his shopping list goes: buy bread, butter, yogurt, do not buy noodles, pesto, anything vaguely resembling pesto, or any salty bread spread.

So... no zip-locks for a while. :)

What pictures will you put on the walls?

You know, I never see ziplock bags for sale over here. We tend to wrap our food in clingfilm, or sandwich bags, which do not fasten anywhere near as efficiently.
I am quite envious of your ziplock fort! ;-P

One can never, ever have too many Ziploc bags.

[saruwatari.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, that's a lot of Ziplocs. I have a stash of them (I store yarn in them), but... er... not nearly that many.

At least you'll never have to hunt for one in the middle of the night and come up empty.

Oh my. GL decorating!!!

You'll never want for paper towels or Ziploc again. Someday, when you are putting the 7456th cupcakes for a kiddo's Scouts bake sale in the last of the bags on paper plates, you will remember this day fondly.
