I am in Tupperware Perdition

Posted by Erin (and sometimes The Todd) on Feb 4, 2010 in Erin's Diatribes/The Todd's Tastes |

books 015 (Small)I sat in the middle of my kitchen floor tonight, sorting Tupperware with no matching parts and listing my sins…

–I cut in front of slower drivers and gesticulate angrily.

–I laughed when Paris Hilton was sent weeping back to jail.

–When my twins’ third grade teacher asked where Zach’s homework was, I pretended I’d forgotten the folder at home when in fact we had done no homework all week.

–When I was 16 I stole my sister Juli’s skirt and when she confronted me, I actually went to the store, pretended I’d lost my sales recipt and got a copy.  I presented it to her as “proof” that I’d bought that skirt and made her feel insane every time I wore it.

I do not feel that any of these sins warrant the fact that I have $6,000 worth of plastic food storage items and none of the lids fit any of the bowls.  Unless…Juli has waited all these years to finally creep in, steal various bowls and lids to make me feel insane and wreak her vengeance.

OMG I couldn’t even bring myself to do this after our last move. I finally invited a friend over and he helped me. It felt really good when we were done!

Interesting where your thoughts went while you were doing it lol

I was tempted to take out all the plastic out of the cupboard and replace it with stuff that matched and stacked properly.

And nothing in that picture belongs to Tupperware. :)

Wow…I stand in awe of you re: getting a receipt copy for a skirt you didn’t purchase. Nicely played.

And, it occurred to me that these were not Tupperware pieces, but Christina mentioned it first. LOL. Don’t feel bad. I also refer to my stuff as Tupperware, even though none of them are. Wishful thinking on my part, I guess. :)

I’m not proud of the shameful skirt enterprise, but I thank you for your appreciation of my evil. But no, this is not truly Tupperware. It’s just that “discount plastic food storage containers” doesn’t fit in a headline.
