My new dishes are in the cabinets now. I’m not really sure what to do with the old dishes. Do I keep them in case I need “overflow” dishes? If I keep them, do I store them in the kitchen itself, or do I store them in a more out-of-the-way place? I was already having trouble with some other items. Take the salad spinner, for instance. I’ve had it for a long time. I’ve used it before, but now I most frequently just buy bagged salad. Should I keep the spinner? If I don’t keep it, what will I put on the top shelf of the corner cabinet?
I also have several sentimental pieces. One is a melamine cereal bowl with a clown in the bottom. When we were kids and wanted to have cereal, the memlamine clown bowl was second only to the melamine bowl that had Disney’s Pluto in the bottom of it. I don’t want to throw this bowl away, but what do I do with it? I also have a mug from when I was in Kindergarten. It was one of those deals where you drew on some paper and some company put it inside a mug for you. My whole class did one. I was patiently raising my hand to ask the teacher how to spell “Ice Cream and Peanuts” because I had drawn a truck that delivered them. She kept going to other people even though I OBVIOUSLY had my hand up first. In a fit of anger, I spelled the words myself. This is what came out:
I DID know how to spell my name:
So what do I do with this mug? I never use it, yet I feel like I should keep it. Right now it’s in the back of a top shelf, never seeing the light of day. Perhaps there it will always stay…
Don’t you read my blog? That mug is supposed to be in the shrine! Send it here!
I thought that it was an ice cream truck and the two topping selections for your ice cream were bananas and nuts and you were trying to spell bananas and nuts…thus BNOS…
You were trying to spell ice cream and nuts? You were stupider than I thought.
Oh, and your old dishes match mine. Put those in the box with the mug for Lauren’s shrine, I’ll keep them for you. That should be an out-of-the-way place, don’t you think?
Put a plant in it!
If you hold the mug in a mirror, it nearly says SNOB. Were you making a statement about your teacher?
You need to use these pieces to create a display in your new kitchen. Put them on a cute little shelf!
toss the salad spinner…kick it to the curb!
or bring it in on Monday to put in the birthday basket for Debbie!
Hmmmmm ….. this must be where your hatred of mugs all began … your repressed feelings towards the teacher must have been transferred to the innocent little mug … & thus a life long hatred was born …. make amends with the mugs in your life!
I’m not kidding. I want that mug.
I’m not kidding either…I want those dishes.
I also like that it’s one of those old-fashioned steam-powered ice cream trucks piloted by invisible robots.
Oh, and the cereal bowl needs to be made into a lamp shade for the pendant light you’ll hang over your sink. How awesome would that be?
