Yesterday I went to my local membership warehouse store. I needed more Carnation Instant Breakfast. While I was there, I remembered how frustrated I’ve been lately that I don’t have more boxes of tissues around the house. I’ve especially noticed it in the kitchen and living room. If I had a runny nose, I had to hurry to the bathroom and grab some toilet paper, which would often catch on my lip stubble and leave embarrassing shreds until I scrubbed my face with a towel. Sheesh!
So I bought some tissues. A lot of tissues. Hopefully this won’t be a problem for a while. The only rooms without tissues now are the dining room and the basement. But I’m considering putting boxes there too…
You should consider perhaps putting a refrigerator in every room, too. I bet you’re running to the kitchen every time you’re hungry. That could save a lot of running around.
Lauren… great idea!
Wouldn’t a frig in every room be just great! Maybe built into the sides of the couch…drinks on one side…snacks on the other!
Glad to hear you’ve got your nose covered!
That looks like about 2 weeks supply to me. Might as well just leave the rest on the table.
Heh. We have Kleenexes and clocks in every room of the house (except the dining room, but in our house that is very closely connected to the living room…almost one big room really). So, I’m a huge fan of having Kleenex everywhere. And clocks.
I don’t know why, but I never use Kleenex. I guess I just don’t blow my nose all that often. My dad bought me a box when I was sick about two years ago (the ones with the soothing aloe it them, what a sweet man) and I still have the box tucked under the end of the couch.
I don’t either, Kiwe. I was just too embarrassed to put myself out like that with such a kleenex-loving bunch. Thanks for helping me be true to myself.
For real? You girls don’t get runny noses?
I don’t very often. When I do, I use TP, napkins, or a handkerchief – the whole environmentally conscious thing, I guess.
If you were really environmentally conscious you would use a farmer’s blow.
EWWW!!!!
(Psst – that’s for Lloyd’s comment.)
Snot Rocket!
Ha! “Hot Pocket!”
My nose doesn’t run! I blow it after my shower in the morning, but I don’t have hair on my face for the TP to get stuck to.
If you were a middle schooler, I’d say that pile of facial tissue boxes might last you a week or so. Holy snot rags, Batman!
I like the boxes, though – you should think about doing something creative with them once they are empty (instead of plain old flattening-for-recycling, I mean). And your aquarium fish seem particularly excited about your “stash” – don’t you think? (Do you suppose fish ever have runny noses?)
