One of my mom's favorite sayings is 'in my next life'. When we were kids, it was frequently something like, 'in my next life I will have kids who (insert the appropriate perfectly behaved kid behavior here)'. Well, in MY next life, I will learn how to throw things out! This is a skill I have certainly not mastered in this life. I know, all you clean organized people say 'just throw it out'. It's not so easy, I'm not programmed to do that. What if I need it.........
In preparation of my kitchen remodel, I decided to do a little cupboard cleaning. Let's take a gander at some of the things I found (mind you, these are only the things I wasn't too embarrassed to photograph)!

| WTF! How many (if any) plastic utensils does one need. |
The above have not yet made it in the garbage, because you never know when you might need a plastic knife or two. Of course, it may be a long time before I need 14 plastic knives. They are sitting beside me as I contemplate their future. I know you are saying THROW THEM OUT!
 |
| When was the last time I ate regular sugar? |
One of the three of these made it into the garbage. The two unopened boxes are back in the cupboard.
 |
| Ack. |
These spices were a present that came with some indian recipes. Some were empty containers (because you know I might need a cute tiny rusty tin container one day). The others are filled with spices that I'm sure some day I will learn how to use.
 |
| Once I sprouted things, maybe I will again some day. |
 |
| You never know when you need a tie thingy or a tiny plastic bag! |
These made it into the trash today! Phew!!!
 |
| I blame my inability to throw out rubber bands, even impractical ones, on my mom! |
All this and I haven't made it to the junk drawer yet. Maybe that can be it's own very special blog.
In more cheerful news after a full day of sun worshipping yesterday, today Otto was out bright and early to find the little corner of sun hitting the back yard. Happy spring!
 |
| There is sun out here! |
 |
| I will run from your camera! (Missed the super cute shot of her and Otto!) |

"In my next life, my darling daughter will appreciate how useful rubber bands truly are. I have even been known to bring a supply from Chicago out to Hood Canal, because you just never know..... Happy Easter
