I hate the latter. It is so annoying! <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/SinkOrganizer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/SinkOrganizer-246x300.jpg\" alt=\"Groupon Sink Organizer\" width=\"246\" height=\"300\" class=\"entry\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I ended up boxing it up and plan to give it to my step-daughter if she wants it. I am now using this set up instead and prefer it because either way water collects at the bottom of any container I use and it&#8217;s easier to pour out of the pot vs. the organizer that has a piece that slides out if you don&#8217;t hold it the correct way. <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_7071.jpeg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_7071.jpeg-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Sink Organization\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"entry\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Plus I prefer the look of the planter better anyway. I would love for Savers to re-open so I could find another planter since I like using this one for fake flowers in the house.<\/p>\n<p>I was cleaning the cold air return in the dining room one day when I realized that while, yes, it was dirty, the paint was also yellowed, so no matter how clean it was it still wouldn&#8217;t look like it. I bought a can of white spray paint and quickly remedied that issue. Now it looks brand new. Of course there&#8217;s no before photo because I always forget to take one!<\/p>\n<p>The garage in general is more organized that ever, although we still have a lot of stuff. We did free up a couple of &#8220;under the bed&#8221; organizers that never actually fit under our bed, so were in the garage. I used two of them to store my fake flowers and one to hold party supplies. Because they are so lightweight I can store them at the top of the shelf by the door and not kill myself trying to get them down.<\/p>\n<p>I went through my Cure memorabilia and put all the LPs in the special vinyl box I ordered from The Container Store. <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_6945.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_6945-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Vinyl Storage\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"entry\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I went through the magazines and clippings and put them in clear plastic pockets in a binder, and moved the t-shirts and cassette tapes elsewhere, thus freeing up a storage tote I can use in the garage for other things. I also came across Cure posters, as well as other posters, in the garage. <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_7031.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_7031-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Robert Smith Poster\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"entry\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_7029.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_7029-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Cure Poster\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"entry\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_7024.jpeg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_7024.jpeg-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yin Yang Poster\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"entry\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_7025.jpeg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_7025.jpeg-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Glow Poster\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"entry\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I took them out of the tubes they were in and combined them all in one very wide tube that I also put my Cure calendars in.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_6936.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_6936-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cure Calendar (1993)\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"entry\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_6937.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_6937-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cure Calendar (1995)\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"entry\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_6938.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_6938-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cure Calendar (2009)\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"entry\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Because of all the organizing, we are now up to six large boxes in the garage waiting for Savers to open so we can donate them. <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_6896.jpeg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicole.sleepyfroggie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_6896.jpeg-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Pending Donations\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"entry\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>If they don&#8217;t open soon we will either donate them to Goodwill or post them on a free site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reorganized the freezer and pantry.
