When we remodeled the kitchen last year I promised myself there would be no junk drawer. So how's that working for me? Well, I will tell you. The drawer that was just going to be a box of decaf tea and box of regular tea, some packs of herbal teas, and a stevia canister has been invaded by squatters. What has also moved into the drawer is rubber bands, bread wrappers, Christmas decoration hangers, two pedometers, a box of kitchen matches, paper clips, screws, ink pens, a pocket size sewing kit, unopened Scentsy bars, an unopened pack of Duck Dynasty playing cards, scotch tape, a discarded cell phone, and a cell phone screen cover that no doubt I will not have a clue where to find it when I need it. Oh, yeah and there are also 3 small bottles of essential oils in a baggie. I use them as a steam inhalant to clean sinus passages. My poor teas! All they ever wanted in life was a little privacy.
And speaking of junk drawers, be careful not to toss loose 9 volt batteries in them. I recently had to watch a safety video about how they are causing home fires. Just a little metal touching the contacts can cause a spark and then anything such as paper can be the fuel, and suddenly there is a fire. Who would have ever known. I get rid of used batteries. My husband is one of those people who leaves them laying around so that later on he can have us wondering if they are good or bad. So, what's in your junk drawer?
