The Refrigerator

What a wonderful invention! I couldn't live without it. Not only does it hold up the array of fancy magnets and advertising, with much needed phone numbers, but it contains last minute salvation.
Any person would tell you that. That is where you will keep things to help you get over headaches, and stomach aches, and holds just the thing that will help you find happiness in a bunch of stress.
Does that picture of the woman on the scales stop you! Noooo hahaha because you know what is in there.
The problem is that it also contains "the nightmare" Those tons of little dishes full of left overs.
What are left overs? Shouldn't you call them "Extra's"?
They are the things that no one touches because they don't know... how long ago that they were "Extra's.
Now there are those people who put a label on each dish and a date.... how together is that? A nice habit, but I can't seem to find that in my world.
hum.... Maybe it is because those minutes of the label, I am busy with a billion other things.
So there are the "Extra's"
Then I saw it... "the answer" right there in the middle of those colorful magnets.
A note pad.
It is a grocery list note pad. You know the one that everyone writes all of their silly remarks on, with all of the outrageous things that they just know you will buy them... ya right.
I took the note pad, and I wrote a list "the Extra's"
It told what it was, The date, and number of portions.

In the frantic moments between coming home from work and leaving for a gym class.
There was the list of "The Extra's"
So easy. I selected my choice and then began my search. While on it's quick trip to the microwave I simply, crossed it off the list.
It was no longer extra, it was my savings of money, time, and calories that I would have spent stopping at that magnetic fast food place on the way to the Gym...
No more getting caught by your fellow athletic companions who happen to see you in line at the fast food place...lol
Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?
