UPDATE: Amy is the proud new owner of a pair of 7's Jeans that have been sitting in my closet yelling at me to stop being so FAT. I'm super happy they will finally find their way into a new home and hopefully actually be put to good use.
Woweeee!
That little contest was fun, wasn't?
I honestly never knew my readers were so passionate about organization before now. Ladies, I think I need an intervention. Every cabinet in my house looks like this. And do you know why? Because whenever I get a spare minute the thought of organizing them never even crosses my mind. Sure, before kids I was anal as all hell. I mean, just ask my Mother-in-law. My poor Mother-in-law lived with us right after we got married and I would freak out about the way she loaded the dishwasher. You know, because the forks and spoons were not in separate compartments. The nerve she had co-mingling forks and spoons!
Seems so crazy now to worry about such details seeing as how my cabinets could be growing lord knows what but those cabinets and their lack of organization do not even make me flinch.
And, maybe you think that is sad but for me? It is about survival.
Once I had kids and continued to work something had to give. I suddenly was faced with all the responsibility of my previous life and added a little being that needed me too. And, something had to give. For me? It was the anal retentive house keeping. Sure, I clean. But, mostly? When guests are coming over? I shove. And, I hate shoving but you know what? In the final analysis the crazy cabinets are my sanity.
So, for you? Your tidy cabinets keep you sane. For me? Untidy really doesn't bother me. Unless I show the Internet and get a little embarrassed. But, my sanity can take a little embarrassment.
How's that for defending my cabinet filth?
Onto to the results...
The answer to my question is the Remington Training Duck Scent.

I am not even sure why we have it. I mean my husband hunts and we have a lab puppy BUT never does my husband 'train' the puppy. In reality it is probably somehow my fault for hiding his 'training' scents in the spice cabinet but, whatever, I hate eating duck anyway.Where was I? Oh! The results! I'm easily distracted today.

If those crazy Cabinets are what keep you sane then I say leave them.
I guess I should have listened to the people that used google because I did see that little bottel but had no clue what it was. :))
Congrats Amy!!! I can't believe that thing has been in your cabinet for year, Kandace, and you never noticed! LOL!
Ha! I knew it! Darn random.org.

See, now I would have said it belonged there depending on how you look at it, I mean each to his own. And dirty cabinets...does anyone have them otherwise in the kitchen? I think I'm tidy but lately I only live in one place for about 1 1/2 years at a time and every move I'm amazed at what's in those cabinets. Seriously...amazed!
I thought that was it, just wasn't sure. I was looking for a vibrator or something totally embarrassing. Maybe that kind of stuff is in a different cabinet?
Mom23Monkeys - That is why I love you because you think duck training scent is a spice. Niiiiice.
Mrs. Romero - Wrong cabinet. Those are mixed in with the children's toys!
Hey thanks for visiting Mayberry Magpie. Sorry I missed the contest! It was a fun one. I've a got a crazy cabinet of my own and there's something about the freedom of just shoving crap in there whenever I need to that keeps me sane also. You're too young, I bet, to get this reference but there's an old radio show called Fibber McGee and Molly and they had a crazy closet. My gram always said her closets looked like Fibber McGee and Molly.

Yay!
I looked and saw the Duck stuff but thought, perhaps they are into ducks...you never know. I'm glad to see I was right (even though I forgot to email you). Congrats Amy!
Congrats Amy!
I came into the contest too late, but I guessed it too. Though we've often talked about our...um...little bit hillbilly, redneck hubbies. I have something similar in my kitchen but it's in the junk drawer. You know, with all the tape and batteries and stapler and scissors, etc. Where it belongs. LOL
Candy, LMAO "where it belongs"
So what's wrong with hillbilly husbands? We know where every interesting thing is that we need. Thank you very much. I'm sure the Duck Scent is there for a reason.

Yay for Amy!!
I'm so glad you explained what that was. My hubby said to me several times, "Why are you staring at that picture again?" Hee hee!!
Kandance - I REALLY hope I didn't offend you - SO NOT MEANT TOOOOOOO my bloggin friend! I am the one with the HUGEST problem and craziness about organizing! I so know this and have been this was since I was a teenager! I wish I could just let it all go and shove! Teach me oh teacher - teach me!!!!!
Tiara- NO! You didn't offend me AT ALL! Before you go and find a magic pill come on over to my house! All the cabinets/closets/toy rooms/etc... look just like that maybe even worse.
Hey! As long as I can't see it, it doesn't exist!
Just found your site and I would have figured it out right away being The Hunter's Wife.
Where else would you put the Duck Scent? - if you put it in the Garage, only one of your kids would have found it. I can see it now, Aspen being pulled around the yard by Browning the Chocolate Lab. She would be one pissed off chickie!
