Cooking in the Kitchen!

Counters? Haven't seen them in weeks, no months!  

Found the sink this week, but filled it back up tonight! But, this is a good thing (I think?). I find it concerning at how much packaging there is with food these days. In most cases there is more packaging than food! What happened? I know. It is because of  marketing and processed foods. Chime in here. Doesn't it make you mad when you open a big box only to find there is a bag inside that fills up half of the box height? Drives me crazy!

Trash Update. . .

Today I am on my third bag of trash (lawn bags, not the kitchen size) and still throwing away trash. Have not even scratched the surface of the trash even with the many trips to the dumpster this week. But, I do see some counter now. And that feels good. Now to get to finding out if there is a floor in my kitchen. I might need a rake. Drat!

I really want to break the habit of just throwing the stuff on the counter. Why does it not make it to the trash can? Oh yeah, I remember...the trash backs up and doesn't get taken out on a regular basis. So no room in the trash, the trash ends up on the counter. Then the counter gets big piles and it begins to drift to the floor as it piles high.

Help Cometh!

Now I have committed to a friend that we will work on my house together for two full hours! Wow! I just am so taken back that she would help when it is this bad! I will let you know how it goes with that tomorrow. My help in the past has always been great. And the house does function better for awhile. I really want it to stay better for good. Not just a few weeks, but from now on out.

Suggestions on how I can keep up the progress my friend and I will make tomorrow?
