FUN SATURDAY ACTIVITY

I cleaned out the freezer today.  Hadn't planned to.  Wasn't on my list of fun, relaxing things I wanted to do on a rainy Saturday.

Ask me why I cleaned out the freezer today.......

NOT because it needed to be cleaned and organized.  Not because we had a mechanical problem.

Nope.  I cleaned out the freezer today because I exploded a diet coke in the freezer.  Yep.  There wasn't one tiny square inch of the freezer that didn't have frozen, frothy, sticky diet coke on it.

I had put the diet coke IN the freezer because I had FAILED to put them in the refrigerator on any previous day so they would be cold when I wanted one.  I do the freezer thing frequently and have exploded may beverages before - never this kind of mess though.

I never learn the lesson these sorts of situations are supposed to teach us.  I don't know what it is with me.  I just think ok it won't happen again then it happens again.

I didn't take a picture of the mess BECAUSE after I started pulling everything out of the freezer to hose down I realized how much crap was in there.  I had almonds in there, and two bags of rice, and 200 of those little freezy-things that are supposed to make the puffiness around your eyes go away.  I had leftover turkey from 2007.  I had two of those freezer beer mugs in there but all the liquid stuff that's supposed to freeze was gone (I wonder where it went and I didn't know about it).  I had three bags of pinto beans, the dried kind, uncooked.  I don't remember putting them in there.  And there were two zip bags of unidentified stuff, but I realize that everyone probably has those bags in the freezer.  Please tell me that everyone has those bags of unidentified stuff in their freezer.  Ok, I have one friend who I'm sure does NOT have them but hopefully everyone else does.

So, I cleaned up the mess and it took two hours.  Sad thing is..... I put almost everything back in the freezer.  Except the two unidentified bags - those I cooked for dinner tonight!  JUST KIDDING.
I just don't learn the lesson.
