not in my spoon drawer

Another variation of usage of The Spoon Theory by Christine Miserandino ( butyoudontlooksick.com/spoons.htm )

I am going to do the laundry and change the bed, but dusting and preparing dinner is definetely not in my spoon drawer tonight.

We are not talking about politics at this table. I don't have that in my spoon drawer.

glory drawer

The drawer, usually in the kitchen, that contains all the stuff you don’t know what to do with, and might need one day.

“Where’s that red plastic round thing you found on the floor last week?”

“In the glory drawer.”
