Jenny On the Spot

I have a very special friend - who moved very far away. She moved to a desert land that locals call, “Aridzona”. Why did she move away from me? Was is poor hygiene on my part? Was my halitosis just too much to bear?  I know! She was jealous. Jealous of… uh… very jealous of the fact that I… uhm… hm. Hmmm… Anyway, I’m sure that the reason she moved was all about Me. Everything is should always be about Me.

Except for this post, it is all about the fridge of the friend who moved away from Me. *crosses arms*

I have written about my friend Casey many times before. She is smart and pretty and kind and fun and dances and gives good solid advice and and dances. She is the kind of friend who will comfort you if you need it, but will point out the fact that you might be acting a little ridiculous. She has one of the best smiles and… golly can some please come give me a hug because I wish she didn’t move away! 

We met when Olivia and her daughter were just weeks old. Our sons were playing in the 3-year-old soccer program. Yeah, I know. Ridiculous. My son just ran all over the field, like a chicken-sans-head. I remember thinking she’d never like me because she was obviously so cool and I was such a dweeb. It seems Casey makes friends with dweebs. Yet, another endearing quality of Casey.

I suppose I should get on with her fridge. Here is a picture to start… And in Casey’s words “Well, I’m a little bit fanatical on my fridge…” Casey, honey… you are just fanatical :)

I have a spot for things and am a bit annoyed when things don’t find their way back where they belong (upside down doesn’t bother me - like the great ketchup creation for easy pouring which always finds its way upside down), just as long as they get to the general area: shelf for salad dressing and marinades, shelf for sauces.

We have a veggie drawer and a fruit drawer, meat and cheese on the bottom tray drawer. The middle shelves are leftovers and overflow -like melons just don’t ever fit in a drawer! Beverage shelf and door spots - lots of fruit and beverages since it’s so dry here we need to drink so much more. We go through a lot of beverages!

The ice maker on the top left is so cold that it will actually freeze the fraps - found that
out the hard way with the eggs up there for a month or so and thought it was so odd that twice almost the entire dozen was broken … Of course I thought I was the too-busy-in-the-store-to-check-eggs Mama so I thought I bought them that way!!!I I finally realized that eggs
explode when they freeze … so there you go. Now we have a freezing cold chillin section for the fraps.

The bottom drawer is full of lazy mom lunch … the $1 lunchables … kids happy, mom happy, we’re all happy about those (although of course full of salt and not very healthy but saves the morning frenzy)…(not sure if those even qualify for the meat and cheese drawer but that’s where they end up.)

Let’s see, what else about the fridge … mmm, unique blue box in the bottom - pool kit for testing the water every week - it’s so HOT here that we have to keep it in the fridge so the testing chemicals don’t go bad!!! Crazy.

Oh the life of living where people should never live! I’m just teasing you again, Casey. I miss you and love you and thank you for opening wide the hallowed doors of your refrigerator. It is lovely, and I learned something new - about pool chemicals and frozen eggs :) I’m glad you started your blog… Oh, for cryin’ out loud. I just read your post for today. Good golly, where’s my box of tissue??? Happy anniversary you two!!!
