I’m Cleaning Out my Legacy
by Pasadena Adjacent
According to Andy Warhol….
“Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone’s got to take care of all your details”.
When I think of Elvis’ unexpected death, I’m reminded that he was found dead on the pot. Me? my moment of shame would come with the discovery of my refrigerator. Besides being filthy, it’s stacked with far to many Banquet TV dinners (which will kill you). Please don’t look under my bed.
The painting is by Warhol and it’s a favorite of mine.

File under “minutia” This post has been hanging out backstage for awhile now. It’s been awaiting that special day that I actually decide to tackle cleaning my refrigerator. I’ll keep you abreast of the results. Really, I’m going to do it. Today, soon, in a minute, really

You know, this is one thing that becoming a parent forced me to do! In fact, I’m always surprised now when I open the fridge because it’s such a MOM refrigerator now — fresh fruit, milk with a good due date, healthy snacks. I still remember my old pizza boxes and flat champagne bottle days.

Ha ha! I didn’t realize Warhol said that. When I got my diagnosis a couple years ago, the first thing I did was go on a cleaning/organizing/house renovation frenzy. Just in case. Better than a party for cleanup motivation.

I love that painting too; I thought it was yours. Give me a call when you cook up that chicken. (Banquet is well represented in my freezer as well.)

My husband just cleaned out our legacy. It was ugly. I think he may have killed some entirely new life forms.

Great post! love the Warhol…My freezer is fine, if you ignore the spilled and re-frozen gelato lake. The bloke said he’d clean it up, so I’m off the hook!

Some have skeletons in the closet, some have Banquet dinners in the freezer…to each his own.
The Worhol fridge is indeed quite apealing.

Going inside an appliance shows a lot of industry. Tomorrow, I’m just going to shoot for cleaning the outsides of things.

Who knows whats inside the freezer? I haven’t been in there since we got a fridge with thru-the-door ice/cold water dispenser. While I was Warhol watching, waiting for someone to come and burp him, I wondered if there was cheese on that burger.

Mission accomplished! All frightful growth has been eliminated with the aid of an array of toxic chemicals (and I feel better for it).
the proof
close-up
Laurie: Do you like your new avitar? I bet you don’t miss pizza boxes and flat champagne. They seem to be disagreeable with the aging process. Check out my after shots (the drugs are Tovah’s).
Susan: You’ll excuse me if I tell you I’d rather not have that to motivate me but I definitely see your point. btw sister just got through first round (7 to go)
AH: Love Warhols earliest work. He was an illustrator before his fine art career took off. He thought the information he was interested in wouldn’t be looked at unless he connected it to the prevailing style of the time “abstract expressionism” As a result he created these weird pop art hybrids
John E: of course you would ask. Tovah’s kitty litter box and little piles of kitty puke.
Margaret: I believe you. Wouldn’t it be weird to discover that your refrigerator had the cure to cancer growing somewhere under the pull out vegetable drawer?
PALC: Andy didn’t seem to enjoy his burger. He didn’t finish it. I offered him my cubicle of mashed potatoes but he took a pass.
mm: Maybe next time we’ll be able to throw a blanker over the fence and get in.
Vetti: My bloke is the problem
Tash: some have undiagnosed ADD. Make sure you return to the previous post..the bird issue is addressed (where are you?)
Jean: Todays tomorrow! hows it going?
Laurie: loooved the link
D: Warhol strikes me as a guy who doesn’t eat cheese and I bet your the kind of guy who probably sat through the video. Me too! loved it.
After Valerie Solanas shot Andy up, I imagine he had issues with digestion.

So far, I’ve refined my cleaning plan, done a new post on my blog, taken care of some personal matters, and am now cruising other blogs in classic avoidance behavior. But–today is still young.
PS–stellar job with the fridge.
