Purging

I'm not real sure exactly what got into me yesterday, but I became this purging, cleaning maniac. I'm not sure if it was being at my mom's house for the weekend (who is an emaculate housekeeper) or if it was the TLC show I watched on the OCD behavior of Hording late Sunday night, but when I woke up yesterday morning, I began cleaning out my kitchen. I cleaned out my pantry, my lazy susan, my freezer and fridge. I wiped everything down and even cleaned the bottom of my fridge. I threw out 2 garbage bags and a recycling can of stuff. I went as far as calling the 800 number on the box of Jell-O to figure out if they were expired or not. I reorganized my pantry and my kitchen counters, getting rid of some of the clutter and putting some decorative elements in their place. I want to get a couple of tall skinny lamps to add to the counter and give a bit of extra light for this winter when it gets dark so early. Whatever it was, my kitchen looks better for it. Now if I can continue to move through my house. You know, come to think of it, it may have not been the TLC show after all - the show following on the One Ton Man didn't stop me from baking cookies the next day.
