Organize Your Buttered Popcorn?

First of all, here is a little morsel of an idea for you. Do you love microwave popcorn as much as I do? I got tired of the bag spinning around inside my microwave and blowing hot oil everywhere. I am way too lazy to clean it up every time I pop popcorn so my microwave is always a mess until it thoroughly disgusts me and I clean it out. We don’t have a problem with any other kind of food because my kids have been properly trained to cover their food with a napkin to prevent spattering. Coercion is a wonderful thing.

So guess what I do now? I put the popcorn package in a paper bag before I put it in the microwave, with the top pointed toward the bottom of the paper bag of course. No more popcorn messes!

I also want to announce that I finished my closet organizing project last week. You don’t get to see the finished photos though until Laura’s contest is over because I want it to be a BIG, HUGE, SUSPENSFUL SURPRISE!!!

I have mentioned on and off that I have been sick with a sinus infection for quite a long time. Just when I would finish a round of antibiotics and thought I was over it, I would start feeling sick again. Being sick on and off for twelve weeks with Stranger out of town and no one to help I thought I was going to lose my mind! I have never had a sinus infection before and I had no idea they were so difficult to get rid of. As of now I am on my THIRD round of antibiotics so can we please all pray that I don’t have to do this AGAIN!!! Thanks.

Stranger is back home from Louisiana, by the way, after being gone for four months. He got back over a week ago. If you have noticed my blog suffering in any way it is all his fault. He doesn’t seem to think I should stay up until 1:00 in the morning blogging every night. He is such a party pooper. We are all having a great time being together again though. I almost forgot what it was like to have adult company around the house and someone to make the kids breakfast while I laze in bed all morning!

I never knew that oily popcorn gasses were spewing in my microwave before! So that's why my microwave is always a mess and smells of movie theaters. Aha!

Good luck battling the sinus demons. Blech.

Hm, well I don't think I've ever had a problem with microwave popcorn lol. But it sure is a mess from all the other food we cook in there, it really needs cleaned :P Hope you get better from your sinus infection.

I'm a confessed popcorn addict - Neil hides our popcorn packages somewhere in the garage so I don't have it for lunch every day.

I'm going to buy some paper bags next time I'm out!

So happy Stranger is back to help nurse you back to health! Even if we your loyal fans have to suffer for it.

I'm a chronic sinus sufferer so huuuge sympathies. My Grandma says the best cure is snorting salt-water, but I've never been able to bring myself to do it. Ewww!

Julie, nothing wrong with that movie theater smell.

Kara, get scrubbing!

Kimmy, I would have snorted rocks to get rid of the dang thing.
