This has been my most productive Monday EVER! And that's even with the fact that I woke up at 11 AM. Why? Because I took it upon myself to clean my ENTIRE kitchen! It took me over 6 hours of solid back-breaking and foot-aching labour to clean that darn thing and I'll be so cross if it gets messy again tomorrow. So here's how it went down.
I fell in love with the Design Sponge blog, which has a lot of really awesome DIY projects, crafts and general cool stuff you can do for your house and I got THIS idea for organizing all my takeout menus:
Cute eh? So my first step was to pull all of the menus out of one of the kitchen drawers. That drawer has generally been a complete mess since forever so naturally the menus were all over the place. But as I kept digging deeper, I began to find some really appalling things and that's where it snowballed. I ended up taking EVERYTHING out of the drawer, washed all of the utensils (it was more or less being used for the barbeque accessories), washed the drawer itself, and then put everything back in, but in a nice order. And I threw about half of the stuff out in the process. I also found about $66 worth of Canadian Tire money. Yay me!
But then I realized that it could not stop there. If THAT drawer was in that disgusting state, that means the OTHER drawers must need some loving too. And so for the next several hours I went drawer by drawer, taking everything out, washing everything, then putting it back in a more coherent order. And now everything in my kitchen has a designated spot, I can see the back of the counter again in one spot, and I found about 30 pens that I never knew I had.
After all that was finished, I was finally able to make my takeout menu binder, which my brother promptly used to order Chinese food. Yummmmmmm. And I'm thinking of taking the Canadian Tire money as a commission.
So that was my productive day. I realize now that I probably should have channeled my productivity towards my homework or better yet, my pigsty of a room, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

p.s. Taylor Swift beat out Beyonce and Lady GaGa for Album of the Year at last night's Grammy's. Suck on THAT, Kanye.
