There is a lot of stupidity in this world, and I have about had enough. I have a lot to say and in all fairness to those who know and love me, I am putting it all right here. I have another blog that is just for my regular family and friends. Pictures of the kids, sweet little paragraphs detailing their activities and the like. THIS blog is for me. Not my kids, not my parents. This is where we get to the meat of the matter. I am tired of smiling in the face of people and thinking WHAT THE FUCK? I know that I do not think or believe the way many of the sheep out there seem to. This blog proves it.

Our Attempts At A Green Lifestyle:
- We try to use cloth napkins or kitchen towels instead of paper towels when we clean up
- I switched to a smaller coffee maker. There is less wasted coffee, there is a shorter brew time, and it therefore uses less engergy
- We attempt to grow plants
- I use a menstrual cup. Safer for me, cleaner for the environment
- We get lots of hand-me-down toys and clothes and we pass everything along
- We use FreeCycle and shop at thrift shops
- I breastfed each child
- My husband walks to work when he can
- Instead of clay litter, we use cat sand made from wheat. Also from pine. In a happy accident, we found that by combining the two, we get better clumpage, less smell, and do not worry if the kids end up with a little in their mouths
- We unplug other appliances like coffee makers, etc.
- We have our media on the wall switch and turn it off at night. That makes SEVEN appliances that are turned off--not just on standby
- We try to use cloth wipes
- We use cloth diapers

So I got a little restless a few weeks back and reorganized my spice cabinet. The bottom row is alphabetized: Basil through Tarragon. The top has all the premixed jars. Pretty fucked up, eh? At least I can find what I am looking for. I may not be tall enough to reach it, but at least I can find it.
great so many spices... what happens if someone moves one of them? NOoooooO! reminds me of the chemical shelves in the lab, but a lot more colourful ;)
Mine would look like that, if I could keep my messy husband away from it. Seems perfectly normal to me, your organization.
Wow. Just wow.
@SSG: I don't really have to worry about anyone moving anything because I'm the only one home to cook!
@Patois: Sadly, this is the only part of my kitchen that IS organized. The rest looks like a tornado hit it.
@Gypsy: Don't get too freaked out. I am so short that I can barely reach inside the cabinet and was forever having to get a stepstool to find a particular bottle. This saves me a lot of stress because I can actually FIND what I'm looking for.
DUDE! I've alphabetized my spices, too! We are soooo twins!
One look inside my cabinet...oh, I am not worthy to even comment on your blog - LOL.
Happy WW! Now off to at least throw out outdated spices.
Oh, this is just priceless. LOVE your headline too!
BTW: Mix Tapes Live? For real???? You and I are gonna be best buds, I can totally tell.
Oh boy, can I relate! made me smile, 'cause I'm not alone.
Wow, meticulous and organized!
I have lots to learn from you. :)
We've got one of those rotating cabinet thingies in our kitchen. Lazy susan? Does that sound right? Well, it's at the level of our legs and wife has it packed with spices. Why we need more than the 36 spices that are already in a spicerack, I'll never know.
Anyhoo... she recently pulled every one of them out of the lazy susan thing, took a sharpie, and wrote the spice names on top of all the lids. They're easier to see now, but I couldn't help but to wonder how f###ing bored you'd have to be to do something like that.
@CMGD: As if we didn't already know that! LOL
@Hagar's Daughter: Now, I'm not saying they aren't expired, I'm just saying I can find them. :)
@Robin: Another Mix Tape lover? WooHoo! This is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship!
@Barbara: Ah! If there are lots of us then does that not make us weird?
@Indrani: Again, don't look at the rest of my house.
@Joe: My dear Joe. Your comment is a sad testament as to how little you must cook in your kitchen. It has nothing to do with boredom and everything to do with efficiency. I can totally see your poor wife: It's a blue lid so...this one? No. That one. No! Maybe that one? FUCK!!! She now has to squat or get down on hands and knees, hands full of food from chopping etc. and spin the "clever" susan around and around until she finds the right spice.
By writing on the tops of the bottles she has saved you and your family the wrath of the frustrated cook. Now, get in that kitchen and give the poor woman a break!
