At dinner tonight with our friends Kris and Bill, we were talking about the worsening situation in our kitchen where we can never find the right lid for a storage container. Kris told a cute story about her daughter when at 5 years old she was asked about her idea of a perfect house. She replied “one where all the containers have lids.”I determined to do exactly what Kris did that day 20 years ago: I am going to match up everything in our hodge-podge container drawer and just pitch out whatever doesn’t match. But I’m not going to do it tonight. That chaotic drawer will just have to wait.
That was one fantastic benefit of moving. All the non-matching lids and containers were eliminated from the kitchen. Actually not trashed because I doubt they are recyclable but used now in my dresser drawers as containers to separate small items. I am really not a Martha Stewart/Heloise Hinter type of person but moving got me organized a bit!
