The Keegan Pantry

I owe it all to lovely man behind the curtin.. He heard me whining and came to the rescue...worked for me




But Don't, I repeat, don't complain about the way it was done.
Yes, I learned my lesson.

IT's Really Bad When...

Well I think you need to check this video out. Madonna has the same corset on as she did in Like a virgin video...it just faded a bit.
Nothing like seeing a 50 yr old woman dancing around like a girl again. She owes it all to Yoga...I knew I was doing it for a good reason.
Check out Timber's rear....mighty fine....
But come on if there were only 4 minutes left to save the world, don't cha think dancing on tables and cars might be Procrastinating!

I Just Heard This on the News!!!

How to Stop Procrastinating...yeah right

So I found this atricle while looking for my FYI Friday post.

Today was the 3rd day of my pantry procrastination! I love it! I don't have to clean, I don't have to cook, I don't have to sweep..... Yahoo! I get to go up into my hide away (my bedroom) to escape from it all.

Was it a coinkidink that I ran across this article or a sign from up above to kick it into gear? Not sure yet. See I am the type of peron who is all or nothing. I do it right the first time because there is no going back. Once I put the cereal boxes in, they will stay there forever..esp if it is bran flakes.

So am I a procrastiner no I don't think so...Is it OCD...no not that....Hum....lets chew on this before we come up with a diagnosis.
I'll run this by my therapist and get back you on it. Brian's diagnosis is JPN (just-plain-nuts)

Think about why you procrastinate:

Are you afraid of failing at the task?

Are you a perfectionist and only willing to begin working after every little element is in place? Are you easily distracted?
Step2 Break up a large, difficult project into several smaller pieces. Tackle each piece separately.
Step3 Set deadlines for completion. Try assigning yourself small-scale deadlines ' for example, commit to reading a certain number of pages in the next hour.
Step4 Work in small blocks of time instead of in long stretches. Try studying in one- to two-hour spurts, allowing yourself a small break after each stint.
Step5 Start with the easiest aspect of a large, complex project. For example, if you're writing an academic paper and find that the introduction is turning out to be hard to write, start writing the paper's body instead.
Step6 Enlist others to help. Make a bet with your family, friends or co-workers that you will finish a particular project by a specified time, or find other ways to make yourself accountable.
Step7 Eliminate distractions or move to a place where you can concentrate. Turn off the television, the phone ringer, the radio and anything else that might keep you from your task.

Seriously are you easily distracted..Duh 4 kids a dog a husband life..

I like get rid of the distraction and enlist others to help, come on over and fix my panrty youz guys!

Atlanta or Bust!

I knew the day had to come so I seized the Saturday. During my escape to Florida (mental breakdown#1) I kind of went off the deep end and spent some money, in Atlanta on the way home. I guess I needed one last umph before heading back to reality.
THE CONTAINER STORE...Have you ever been? All I have to say in ELFA...
If you have never been you must try and find one. Of course they are not here in TN, why would they come here. Just like Nordstroms, Ikea,Wawa(for you eastern girls), ect.. The store is just overwhelming with storage. I wraps you tight and before you know it $, while Dave Ramsay is in the the other shoulder saying do you really need that or is it just a want. Ugh. So I got home with the stuff and 3/4 of it needed to go back. I guess my organization mind was outta wack too.
Got my mom on board to watch the klan and off we went with no back seats in the van.(Get your mind out of the gutter, we do that in our closet, not the van) Yes, Brian was on board too and with the seats out there is no holding back. The purpose take the goods back and spend 5x more than you did the first time, but bring the measurements this time idiot.
More or less the day went well and Brian and I had great bonding time. We laughed and giggled at the stupidist things. When you've been together as long as we have you get this mental communication going. Bri looked and me and I knew exactly what he was thinking. ....that is a man.... DING... This Hething that wanted to be a Shething walked in the store and rudely bagan talking to the person that was waiting on us. So Brian (Mr.Don't Hide Anything So You Can Embarrass Your Wife) decides to make the high voice the Hething/Shething was trying to make. Picture this, Brian is facing He/She and I am giving him the eyes "stop He/She can hear you" I whispered. This person was obviously clueless or it wouldn't be dressed like a woman. He said look at those hands. I whispered Hush! Duh that just fueled the fire..Finally after he got it all out of his system 5 min latter he said "So, If I ever want to become a woman all I have to do is get rid of my Adam's Apple." .....Oh no hunny you would have to get rid of a lot more that that..Ha! Mr. Hairy man
So there is still hope in the Keegan Family. It is all in a good day's work . Come my friends covet...da da da daah.. MY NEW PANTRY! It is beautiful and I may make it my new get away place since we probably spent all our vacation money on it. I think I will have to paint some palm trees on the walls. I haven't yet put anything in it, that would mean I have to clean the kitchen. So, all you organizing guru's out there...I need help.....don't know where to begin ....too much space....thought those words would never come out of my mouth.
No,I think I just have irritable organizational disorder.

FYI Friday

Did you know that when you run your garbage disposal you should only use COLD water.
Yes everyone that is true, make a note of it and pass it on

Because I read it in Costco Magazine and Costco's the best.
