recently a friend of mine (the second in a 365 day time span) has become a tupperware consultant. in my attempt to support her and her need for some extra cash i have in the last 3 months spent more money on tupperware then i can recall. which has lead to this dilemma: where the hell am i going to put all of this sexy tupperware!
so, from one of the many tupperware parties i went to in 2010 i purchased these items:
the next party i went to i purchased this:
(this stuff is currently in use)
and lastly while attending tupperware bingo a few weeks back i purchased (and won) even more.
on top of all of this new tupperware i've purchased i also have pieces that i've stolen from my mom
as well as pieces she or i purchased many years ago when my cousin was a consultant:
so as you can see i have a lot of tupperware. not as much as some but certainly more then others. and if you ask my husband i have plenty and there is no need to buy more. silly husband you can never have too much tupperware. this shit is great.
now back to the dilemma.
i want to separate all of the tupperware, which is not to leave this house or be used by the husband, from the cheaper stuff i now care about less and don't mind if it goes missing or ends up under the seat of someones car for six months just to emerge fully furry and frightening. but where am i going to put it and how am i going to do this?
step one: buy these bookshelves:
these were at the thrift store originally marked at $8.50 and then hiked up to $12.00 or something. i waited not so patiently for them to go on sale and as of saturday my friend purchased them for me for $0.75 a piece with an additional 25% off. my math says this means i got them for $1.37 which is not too bad. while they were still at the store i didn't think i would need both of them but figured you can't have too many shelves and if i didn't use them someone sure could.
so i got them home and wiped them off and moved them into the kitchen to prepare for step two: find a wall for them when i realized, i don't think i want all my precious tupperware on open shelves exposed to the elements. the dog hair and the splash from the dog bowl and the vomit from the occasional stupid girl who pukes on my kitchen floor. ok that last one only happened once but you never know when it might happen again. major sad. now what was i going to do? i could put all the crummy non-tupperwareness on these and keep my good tupperware in the original cabinet. and then i saw this:
these drawers were given to me by my uncle because they kind of suck and they have been housing all of this weirdness for i don't even know how long:
but now it hits me. drawers would be good for the tupperware. especially the lids. but can i make it all fit. and where do i put all the stuff that's currently in the drawers?
turns out kind of. i can make it most of it fit. as for the items that were in the drawers that stuff all now lives here:
but where am i going to put these drawers? i had wanted the tupperware in the kitchen, easily accessible but these drawers are in the dinning room and that's just to far. so the moving of furniture begins and this is where we have left it for now!
not my favorite at all. there has to be a better placement for all of this stuff. but for now i'm done. time will tell how many times i or some one walks in the the drawers and bleeds and i am open to any and all suggestions. i fear that i will not be happy until i am covered in tupperware curled up in the fetal position and someone takes over this project. or i will spend the rest of my time in this house moving these three pieces of furniture and everything in and on them.
