You know, I counted up the number of trash cans we have at our house and realized that we have 10, not including the one under the sink. Wow! Apparently I like having handy waste baskets around.
What's also apparent is that I don't like to empty them regularly.
Eh, just paper in there.....fugettabout it!
But in the deep recesses of my mind it bothers me to see un-emptied receptacles. It's like I care enough to put out a trash can but don't care enough to empty it. I'm a rare mix of motivation and apathy and it's driving me crazy.
Well, today's Small Thing is to empty all the waste baskets in your house and take it all out to the big stinky can outside. This is going to take me one step closer to achieving my fantasy of living in a Better Homes and Gardens feature home. You notice THEY never have any visible trash cans, and certainly none that are overflowing with junk mail, old school menus and the occasional banana peel.
It's going to feel good to see the bottoms of those cans again. Now, if I can just get the gum wads off, I'll REALLY be in fantasy land!
POINTS: 30 for making the trash hit the road
How many waste cans live at your house?
