Garbage Blogging

Garbage_blogging_1My garbage is okay, but it's not as pretty as Sissy's. I think it needs a nice chili can to balance both the boxiness and diet.

I should have blogged the 10 packages of Ramen I threw away last week. They did look sort of pretty in the trash can, the shiny texture of the slightly crinkled thin plastic, the brilliant patterns created by the jumble of reds, blues, greens, and yellows one can find only in commercial packaging. All that given life and movement by the barely discernible (from the outside) terror of the Southern kitchen: dadblame sugar ants. (That's not exactly what I call them, but this is a nice blog.)

Eek! A mouse. You may have sugar ants, but we've got cute little mice. You can't step on them. I found one looking up at me the other day when I opened a kitchen drawer, and last night I saw a tail disappearing into the non-compost garbage bin (for all things non-vegetable, like meat scraps and such that would attract undesirable elements to the compost box) under the sink. I must speak to the cats. Garbage blogging, by the way. Brilliant. Can a Carnival of the Trash be far behind?

I'll take ants over a mouse anytime! We had a mouse once and when my youngest named him "Charlie" I had to do something. I can be such a wuss.
