Why is it that a flat surface in a room must collect all of the miscellaneous stuff that ends up, throughout the course of the day, in that room. There are times that I look at our ”Breakfast Bar” and wonder at the menagerie of items that have collected–items I am not even sure that there actually is a home for (which is probably why it is sitting on a breakfast bar)… Take now, for instance, on this surface sits: a pair of scissors, a set of adaptor heads for a laptop cord, a canister air fresehener, sunglasses, lipgloss, a screwdriver, a coffee mug, a small dishtowel, the whisk from my stand mixer, two electric christmas candles….ok, so maybe these things do have a home….
I guess it just feels like a collective mess, and I am wondering where my: muglasscissorseshenerichristowel drawer is. I will have to sort them out one by one.
