The Friday Five!

1. Name five things in your refrigerator.

Milk (still good, through this weekend), cheese, bottles and bottles of Vanilla coke, fat-free turkey lunch meat, salad-inna-bag.

2. Name five things in your freezer.

Various frozen dinners (mostly chicken), fat free caramel crunch ice cream (which is no doubt so bad for me the fat free part should be irrelevant, but hey), ice paks (the bottle-shaped things you freeze and then drop into a cooler with whatever you're trying to chill, or alternately, put on your head in mid-August when it's too hot - they'll probably stay in the freezer for a good while now), frozen waffles, bags of frozen veggies.

3. Name five things under your kitchen sink.

The wastebasket, the dishwashing detergent, the dishwasher spot-free rinse stuff, and the box of garbage bags. Um, you want 5? Okay, the drain pipe for the sink....

4. Name five things around your computer.

A stuffed black cat and white tiger on the shelf behind it, a tube of spray bubbles that are sturdy enough to stay after adhering to fingers and walls and so forth (aren't my parents glad I didn't have that as a child?), a mug now entirely empty of soda (*sniff*), Klean Screen spray, a row of Micron pens in many colors.

5. Name five things in your medicine cabinet.

Well, it's a medicine drawer, but close enough, right? Q-tips, neosporin plus, extra toothbrushes/floss/toothpaste, travel size shampoos and soaps (work teaches me to just have these things handy, it is much less chaotic), and a hairdryer.

As a side note, the Tylenol sinus is not in the medicine drawer. It sits in the center of the bathroom counter, because that way I have a much quicker visual reminder to see if we need more. I do not like being out of that when being hit with a sinus headache.

One thing I found useful when I did a lot of traveling was just buy replacements for everything I take, and just leave the damn bag packed.

The drain pipe! Heee!

And now I have a mental image of you balancing icepacks on your head. :P

This is exactly how I handled call supplies when I was subject to overnight call, and is still how [livejournal.com profile] anach and I handle our convention-going toiletries. We just keep a complete set packed as our travel set, and leave our regular ones home. Means we don't forget anything when leaving home, and if we leave something behind when we're away we have until our next trip to replace it.

fat free caramel crunch ice cream

I haven't eaten dessert yet, and this sounds absolutely heavenly...we skip the lowfat thing when it comes to ice cream, but I'm beginning to wonder if we shouldn't just bite the bullet (so to speak.) Can you really taste the difference?
