Why do I let things get this way?

This is the way the top of my fridge has looked for some time now.  I can't remember the last time I used a phone book.  So can anyone tell my why I felt the need to keep FOUR of them up there?  Not to mention the empty tissue box.  Apparently it was of vital importance that we keep it around.  It was looking pretty cluttered, and needlessly so.

So I cleaned it all up and it now looks like this.  

Much better!  And yes, I do realize that if I cleaned off the front of my fridge it would look a  lot cleaner too.  But everyone needs some fun pics and magnets on their fridge right?  Well I do anyway!
