A Place for Everything.

September 20, 2009
 
 I've been on a cleaning and organizing binge lately.  I've gone through everyone's clothes and most of the closets in my house.  Last night I found some really old coins and paper money that Tom's Grandma gave him.  Old as in pre-civil war.  We'll have to check into the value of it, maybe now he can retire early!  Ha.
I also found a professional photo of myself when I was about 4 years old. The crazy thing about the picture is that, although  I was posing nicely, it was rather obvious that I was crying through the whole thing.  Red eyes, tears and snotty nose.  I'll try to scan it and upload it.  (Too comfy to do it right now).

I am a little obsessive about this organizational stuff.  For example, I divided the colored pencils into three jars by color palate.  It looks cute, now I just have to find a place to display my handiwork.  I tackled the bin of markers last night (after throwing out more than half of them that were dried out).  Crayons are next.  I need to find some other cute containers first.

If my own closets weren't enough fun for me (they aren't), today Kathy (aka Kackery) and I helped Poppy (aka Big T, Big Tom) organize some of his closets and hung lots of pictures.  Call me crazy, but it was my idea of a fun afternoon! 

I saw a commerical for these little guys.  I will be looking for those at my next Target run.

As soon as the weather cools down, I am hitting the garage.  I am running out of places to clean out and organize inside my house.  This is not normal, is it?

Most people would not think this is normal but you do come by it honestly...but it is something we have in common. Now, Jennifer....I don't know...
