Keeping your car’s interior crap-free
This surely falls under advice you do not need, but if you don’t currently have a trash receptacle in your car and you’re drowning in garbage? May I suggest purchasing yourself an auto litter bag, because it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
I have no idea why it’s taken me so long to outfit my car with a litter bag, but after noticing my car’s lovely interior was slowly being obscured by crap—mostly saltine cracker cellophanes and tissues, behold the trappings of my rockstar toddler-mama lifestyle!—I finally bought this black vinyl job that’s affixed within a groping, eyes-on-the-road reach. And lo, my car is now clean. Well, sort of. Except for the crumbs.
Look, they come in all kinds of cute colors and festive designs, too. Aloha!
Next I’m going to buy one of these neato pocket organizer things so I can make a stab at corralling Riley’s toys, book, sippy cup, etc. And they will know me by my clutter-free vehicle.

The pocket organizer thing made me think of the Pursekit. You know, that thing they advertised on TV with commercials narrated by Rue McClanahan?
Anyone? The Pursekit?
(This is where all my education has landed me — I can remember the Pursekit commercials and every Very Special Episode of 80s sitcoms, but I can’t remember the difference between Hobbes and Locke. Pah.)

Um, I share this with you and no one else. But when I read the little link on your Sundrymourning site, I thought you wrote “Keep your CAT’s interior crap-free” and let me tell you, that really piqued my interest. Because really, I couldn’t figure out why or how you would do that.
But the car! The car! A clean car! How wonderful. And much more sane.

Having just bought a brand-spanking new car, I’m all about keeping it from becoming the landfill on wheels my last car was. (Apple cores on the floor for months!) I was just going to use a paper bag to contain the trash, but this is so much prettier! I might even buy stuff just so I can throw it away. Or not.

There is a drinking glass loose in my car and it CLINKs every time I make a right turn. It’s been there for months, but by time I park and exit the car, I forget it’s there. Until the next time I make a right turn.

I read the link the same way that Samantha Jo did… and I thought you had written an entry about some sort of cat laxative. Yes, this is much more sane. And clean cars are indeed great.

Thank you Jennifer!! I feel like less of a dumbass. And now I shall tell my husband that there is another out there who thought like me. He couldn’t stop laughing for, like, 20 minutes about the cat!

Oooo! Thanks! I call my van the “Rolling Garbage Wagon”… maybe this bag will help.
P.S. I bought one of those organizer thingies you are thinking of getting. Mine just sat there unused until I took it out of the car. If you USE it, it could be a very good thing.
