Today I cleaned out my junk drawer. Actually, I have a junk drawer and a junk cabinet in my kitchen. It takes up valuable kitchen storage, but I really have no other place to put it. I'll have to think of storage solutions.
I know the before and after doesn't look that different, but I got rid of a lot of stuff, and added some stuff that was shoved in other random places around my room.
I keep the weirdest crap. Here's a sampling of what I found in the junk drawer
-a bag full of dead batteries- I knew that because they were labeled "dead." So I took the time to label them, but didn't throw them out. Hm. I guess I was going to find somewhere to dispose of them properly.
-some keys, one of which was the key to my uncle's old house. I also found the key to Pedro.
-a piece of parchment paper
-a paper lunch bag with a few bits torn off.
-about 15 pencils
-rubber bands, screws, cup hangers, and way too many twisty ties
-a few random chocolate chips
-two stripped screwdrivers
-the care instructions for my venus fly trap that died a long time ago
-a broken pair of eyeglasses
-the packages my seeds came in. I looked at the number of days to harvest, and they were all around 60-70 days. No wonder I'm not seeing anything yet. Derr. I freak out over the dumbest things.
In the cabinet I had:
-some leftover caulk from the shower incident
-a baggie full of dirt. I don't know why I had a baggie full of dirt in my kitchen.
-3 remotes that don't work with my TV
-a box full of switchplate covers, I suppose left over from when my room was built
-some more pieces of paper lunch bags. Why did I keep those??
-a Justin Timberlake CD
-a burnt out lightbulb
-3 flashlights
-a few tupperware lids. Just the lids.
-half-empty cans of spray paint, grout sealant, and spray glue
-the oven cleaner I've been looking for
-the extra shelf for my mini fridge
-extension cords
I know I put everything in there, but what the heck was I thinking with some of this stuff?
I challenge you to clean out your junk drawers. I would love to know what's in them!
