Tackle It Tuesday: Updated with After Pics

I woke up today still reeling from yesterday’s news and all the chocolate I consumed last night trying to get over it.  (Remember I’m a stress eater by nature.)

In order to climb out of my pit of despair, I have reconsidered cleaning out the pantry.  This will keep me busy today and away from the ice cream. 

I need to be busy today of all days.  Today is the Campus Progress day in DC and I’m not stalking.  I’m organizing.  So, I guess that’s progress.

Another thing I am by nature is an angry cleaner.  I usually do my best work when I’m upset about something, so today is this pantry’s lucky day. 

Stay tuned…I’ll post some after pics later tonight.

Edited to add:  Here are the updated pictures of the pantry:

So, I didn’t get to meet Ryan or help figure out ways to save Darfur, but I think I did manage to accomplish something today.   So, I’d call that progress.

Oh and when those kissing photos of Ryan and his new girlfriend do surface, I’ll be ready.  Look what I found along the way:

Fondue mix, Serendipity Frozen Hot Chocolate Mix and 2 whole bars of Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate!!!  I’d say I hit the jackpot, wouldn’t you?       

To see what other people are tackling, head on over to 5 Minutes For Mom.

    I clean when I’m angry or stressed also. Hubs always knows I’m ticked off at him when he sees me scouring the floors.

    I always clean when I’m angry too! Nothing like a little de-cluttering to clear the ‘ol mind!

    It’s AMAZING how much room you can discover in pantries and closets when you get them organized, isn’t it?

    I love your pictures – they inspire me!

    Mostly – I can’t believe you mentioned being “an angry cleaner”; I used to clean houses (for a living), and if I was mad at somebody or upset over a utility bill or something, I’d have that house done in no time! It was great, really. A way to vent and ‘get off of work’ early!
