Yesh! Organization!

So we have a kitchen gadget/utensil drawer, just like everyone else.  Except not everyone's looks like this, does it?  Wondering what that green thing is?  It cuts the crust off of your sandwiches and makes little trees.  Necessary and thank you Mom, for knowing me enough to know that yes.  I need that.

Look at this mess. Seriously, look.  There's some cool things in there. A guitar shaped cheese "shredder" Get it?
Mike and I did the thing that you do when you're getting married.  Register.  We made the trip to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and in the very first aisle they had kitchen organization.  Drawers and dividers and shelves, oh my.   We did a little registering for some of those things.  But once I got home I couldn't stop thinking about that one drawer.  That one MESSY drawer.  That drawer where you dig and dig to find the thing you actually need.  Like, the sandwich cutter, perhaps.  So, I did what any sane person does and I made a to-scale cut out of our drawer and the drawer organization options and then measured my tools that were in said drawer.

Angie and I did this in college to plan out our sophmore year dorm room.  That included to-scale cut outs of us as well.  Of course.


I could only wait so long after making my awesome model before I had to go and buy these things.  I just couldn't look at that drawer anymore after imagining what it could look like.  Little metal mesh dividers that were worth every penny.  


Look at that!  Three things are evident here.  1. I like color.  2. I love me some kitchen gadgets.  3. I'm getting old because I'm far too excited about drawer organizers.

hello, gorgeous

A month ago I tried to win a few things in this giveaway contest Dr. Oz was holding, thanks to people I follow on Facebook.  Guess what! I won something and its pretty cool!

It came with free engraving! No commas allowed.


This little bugger is a Clarisonic Opal and the kit retails for $185.00!! What is it?  Well its for using around your eyes to get rid of or diminish fine lines and wrinkles.  Fortunately, I don't have a ton of those...yet.  However, you can use it on puffiness around your eyes.  I've been lusting after a Clarisonic skin cleaning system for months and months now and for registering my Opal, I get a discount, so I just might go for it! Does anyone know of this or have one?  What do you think?

Also, thanks Ang, for the help on what to have it engraved with.  Everyone needs a reminder now and then.
