Look - I really don't want to talk about it, all right? No item-by-item list this week; I'll just leave it all to your imaginations. But that jam jar on the top right? You're right - you have seen it before. I blame Thanksgiving for the shameful fridge-cleanout results this week. And my parents' visiting and taking us out to dinner for a few nights. And just the general chaos of life. And, hey! I started a new job, too! So cut me some slack, will ya?
I have had to do the same thing this week and I don't even have any of your excellent excuses.
ReplyDeleteI think there is something alive in my fridge but I'm afraid to look.
ReplyDeleteI'll clean it out after I write my last paper for the quarter. And get the decorations done. And finish the laundry....
Consider the slack bestowed. To those who bestow mercy, hopefully mercy is given. I served up SOOO many Thanksgiving leftovers last night, yet we still are plowed under. Could I interest you in half a pumpkin pie? ;)
ReplyDeleteI had to clean out the fridge last night: one large container of plain yogurt, one small container of (poison) Cool Whip -- both purchased by my MIL about 6 weeks ago. Also? the last small bit of Costco spinach dip and some slimy sliced cucumbers from Thanksgiving appetizers. The garbage pail was pretty full.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little bit worried about one item I can't quite get to yet...
Mine never gets cleaned out at once, things just get thrown away as I get around to it.
ReplyDeleteyay! for new jobs.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing it wrong! Don't you know when you become a two income family, the second income goes directly to the fast food industry? I'll let it slide this week, but next week there had better be a box of fries in that stack of uneatable leftovers.
ReplyDeleteYou are braver than me..I don't even want to LOOK in there!!
ReplyDeleteThe slack is officially cut.
ReplyDeleteReally, it's not that big of a deal, say, compared to the fine you've probably racked up at the public library. ;)
ReplyDeleteI went seeking absolution at the library on Saturday, and while they did grant it, they don't seem to sell indulgences. Where IS their sense of history?!
Grats on the job!
ReplyDeleteI think Thanksgiving can be blamed for the multitude of leftovers for most people!
PS you have an award over at my place you shoudl come to pick it up!
At least you purge your frigde on the regular basis. Some of us - I wouldn't know who - wait until that magic moment when hubby starts turning all shades of red every time he opens it.
ReplyDelete6 kids, a new job and thanksgiving leftovers? Um yeah slack given all the way!
