No, I don’t have the munchies. I just finished cleaning out my refrigerator because a new one is being delivered in the morning.  My landlord was nice enough to tell me this at about 6:00pm.

It’s wild the crap that piles up in a fridge, stuff that gets shoved to the back, never to return until well after the expiration date has passed.  Dude, I found BBQ sauce that expired in 2006!  EWH!  Also, I had two – not one, TWO – jars of sweet pickle relish, both of which had barely any missing from the jar. In fact, I think one of them may not have even been opened yet.  At any rate, if I can’t remember when I bought it, it ain’t stayin’.  When in doubt, throw it out!

I was thinking wistfully how nice it’ll be to be able to buy and – gasp! – FREEZE meat and frozen dinners and – double gasp – even ice cream that will actually stay frozen!  For a while now, when I’ve bought ice cream, it’s immediately gone soft, refusing to stay at a temperature where one has confidence that the product has not spoiled, particularly when a new ski run of snow forms in the container within a couple of days.  I just put a package of chicken breasts in there yesterday and there was already freezer burn!  I wasn’t taking any chances with anything left in there, so absolutely everything got the boot….even my beloved Li’l Sizzlers, smuggled across the border from the States.

I’m wondering what type of fridge they’ll be delivering – if it’ll have glass shelves and see-through bins which would be infinitely helpful to an out-of-sight-out-of-mind type like me.  I’m sure many-a-cantaloupe will actually get eaten if I could actually see that there’s one in there!  Since my apartment has smaller-than-average appliances, I may be stuck with the same uber-basic model I have now with plastic-covered wire shelves and one large white plastic veggie bin.

It’s weird looking at my fridge without any magnets or photos on the door and side.  I have magnets from Baton Rouge, here and God knows where else on there and assorted other trinkets that are fridge-worthy (ok, so one more hyphenated compound word!) adorning the fridge.  I’ve not seen so much of the white surface since I moved in and that’s what it feels like seeing it bare – like I’m moving. EEEEEPPP!!!

Caught up on some of my recorded shows and picked up some less than stellar (I refuse to hyphenate anymore in this entry!) McD’s and some Robax Platinum which I’ll be giving a test run tomorrow evening since I have to be able to wake up early tomorrow for the delivery.

Going to read for a few til the eyelids insist on falling….*yawn*
