This afternoon, Lalab, my sister-in-law, and I went to one of Dumaguete City’s local stores to buy a plate rack.  Ian and I need one for the dinnerware set we chose for our daily use. The other set is piled up together with the other gifts in room 2 (our designated storage room for the gifts) pending arrangement until we will be able to buy a cabinet.

We were able to find a light green-colored plastic plate rack with transparent cover. This plate rack considerably saves space and has a decorative effect at the same time (an unexpected plus! Yey!). This “find” is the root cause of all the cleaning that occurred tonight. Have you ever experienced the urge of cleaning the spot first where you’re going to place your new toy before actually placing it there?  Well, that’s exactly what I always do when I buy something new for use so that scrubbing the tiles at the top of the kitchen sink was performed first, followed by the washing and drying of the plates and other utensils, then the arranging of all the utensils in the plate rack, which eventually ended up to a neat and clean kitchen. Whew!

I think this is one of the tasks of what they called “nesting” or is it? It could be that my OC personality just went overdrive after seeing the house in disarray.  ;o)
