Random Silliness

jadedmusingsI wish I had a Monty Python for silly posts. It'd encourage me to make more. Hmmm...I'll go looking for images later. Anyway...
I'm not what I'd call a neat person. In fact, I'm quite a bit of a slob, and while I'm trying to work on this and do my best to keep at least a somewhat orderly house, I get the motivation to clean at weird times, or to organize something unexpectedly.
I had the brilliant idea to clean out and reorganize my kitchen drawers. Actually, it was a very good idea and I cleared out some space for a few of my knives. The problem is that I realized my wooden spoons were taking up too much space in this container I keep next to the stove with my other cooking utensils, and so I rearranged my silverware drawer in a way that I could also store my wooden spoons.
It worked out really well in regards to space, but out of habit I keep reaching for a spoon and pulling out a fork and vice-versa. I'll remember it's different soon enough, but in the mean time it's one of those things that make me go, "Argh!"
In other brilliant ideas, when the power went out the other night, I decided to go ahead and tackle dusting off my bookshelf and going through the books on it (hence the post about the free books). I have a pretty strong flashlight that worked out well as far as seeing, but I forgot that without electricity, I also lack air conditioning. Though it was the middle of the night, it's always hot and humid in the summer, and this house can act like an oven sometimes. So, by the time I was done, I was sweating and dusty and unable to take a bath because lack of power also means no water pressure.
Yes, take away my electricity and I shall conquer house dust, heat be damned!
