Milk Crates? MILK CRATES!!!

So, I posted this picture on my facebook over the weekend. It's my laundry. Shut up, it's all clean. This is my clean pile. Don't judge me.

F*ck you.

I took a test online and it turns out I'm NOT a "type-A" personality. In fact, it's very possible that the type-A personalitied (That's right. I just made up a word.) friends I have will have either: 1. A coronary, 2. A stroke, or 3. Hemorrhoids. The odds are in my favor.

In response to my lighthearted jest regarding my lack of give-a-f*ckedness (That's right, another word) towards my ever growing "clean pile", a concerned, and LOVELY, friend responded, telling me to take baby steps, which I did. My clean pile is now less by half. Thanks Gina.

Gina also sent me a picture of something she would like to have.

Here it is:

Just so you know. This picture came from ANA-WHITE.COM.

Admittedly, my very first thought was wow, I could be super-organized if I had this! Because I'm a neat-freak. Seriously, I LOVE going to a friend's house and seeing everything-in-it's-place-and-a-place-for-everything. I have three friends like that, except one of them won't let me in her house. That's ok though, I know she's a neat freak because of the pictures she posts on facebook.

On the outside looking in.

My next thought was this would mean having to pull out a different laundry basket each time I put in more dirty laundry. UGH! No more things to do!

Then I thought wait, am I supposed to put the clean laundry or the dirty laundry in these baskets? Because I think we all can agree I have issues with that. Obviously.

My last thought about this laundry-basket-nightmare stand was that looks just like the milk crate furniture I had in college!

And that let me to think about all the things my friends and I used our milk crates for.

1. Sorry, I'm out of chairs. Here, sit on this milk crate:

Doubles as a table.

2. Nope, I'm using both of my laundry baskets. Here, use this milk crate:

3. You don't have any pots to put your plants in? Have you considered using milk crates?

4. I can't see what you're growing, it's way too dark in here. Here, let me turn on my milk crate chandelier:

There. That's much better.

5. Ah Mah Gah!! I found this cute stray cat but I don't have a place for her to sleep! She can use my extra milk crate!

Meow.

6. Guys! I want to take my baby on a bike ride but I don't have a bike seat for her! MILK CRATE!

I think I have some raffia twine, let's make a seatbelt!
