Its Monday morning and I am working at home today, I have emails to catch up on, and a jillion work related projects to get started on. But first, I had to clean out my refrigerator, YIKES!!!! (it is garbage truck day, those guys are heroes in my book, you should see what I gave them).   If there was a market for outdated fuzzy food, no doubt I could retire shortly.  My husband has an aunt that jokes (I wonder) about using her refrigerator as a penicillin incubator (we don’t eat at her house), I think that mine rivaled hers this morning.  I should definitely get a star at my weight watcher meeting this week, there is nothing left to temp me  in that fridge.  On to the deep freeze now.

Boy, what a nightmare that was.  I found my missing Thanksgiving turkey that I couldn’t find back then, which forced my husband to don his apron and cook steaks out.  My good deed to myself was to throw out the half empty 2 (OK, 3) gallons of Blue Bell Cookies and Crèam that no doubt I will miss in the middle of an upcoming night. Hallelujah Weight Watchers! And if anyone knows what I can do with a giant baggie of frozen marshmallows please let me know.  I guess I could make a crock pot stew out of all the odds and ends and un-identified, but I really don’t want to visit the ER this week so watch out garbage men, here it comes.  Um, I wonder how many points I get at Weight Watchers for carrying all this stuff to the curb.

This reminds me, all you sellers out there, CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSETS.  When I show buyers they always want to check out the storage, closets are big on the “want” list, if your closet or pantry looks like my fridge and freezer, you are overdue for a good cleaning. It really impresses a buyer when they can open a hall closet and not have to dodge falling debris.  This week I saw some very creative collages of family trips to Disneyworld and the beach but I don’t think my buyers ever looked at the room, they got so focused on the pictures.  You are going to move anyway so pack it up and stack the boxes neatly out of the way.   Visit my website for additional info on getting your house ready to sell.

Now, on to my pantry.
