How I Talk Myself -and My Roommate- Out of Pretty Much Everything

And now, without further ado, I present "If You Let Your Roommate Use Your Waffle Maker: An Open Letter to Tiff"

Dear Tiffany,

If Megan has a breakfast party, and then she leaves your waffle maker out

for a rather long time,

then she will, of course, have to make more waffles.

But look on the bright side: if she makes more waffles, then you'll have leftovers! (You are clearly psyched about this.)

But if you have leftovers, she'll need to stick them in the freezer. This could be a problem...

...because, before she can put them in the freezer, you'll have to clean it out.

And if you clean out the freezer, then she'll have to take the trash out.

If she takes the trash out, you might as well round up the recycling, too. It's only a small mountain this time.

But once the recycling's gone and the pantry is remotely accessible again, Megan will want to rearrange the pantry shelves.

Until she looks at the pantry and is entirely demoralized. At which point the entire project will be shelved (ha!) and you'll both need at least two episodes of Psych, half a pan of brownies, and a bag of microwave popcorn to recover.
Consider yourself warned.

With love,
your very poky roomie
who did finally put away the waffle maker away 83 days after that delightful breakfast party

Turns out my indecision has influence my reputation; I've become known as a waffler!
