THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO....

These are in no particular order:
1-Run with scissors.
2-Horseplay
3-Drunken dialing
4-I guess anything drunken--emailing, shopping, dating, etc.

Okay, I won't make any excuses, I wish I had an excuse.  I wish I could say I was intoxicated, that I wasn't of sound mind and body--but I can't.  One thing you should never do (especially if you are both near and far sighted like myself) is take your very cubersome (and super sharp) fabric scissors and decide that you have the ability to trim your own bangs.  How hard could it be?  I certainly have trimmed my bangs many times with the cuticle scissors without incidence..

"MY NAME IS MISS. B AND I AM DISORGANIZED..."

They say the first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem...It's nearly the middle of February and today I have had enough with my dysfunctional organization system.  If you have garnered anything from reading about me, you may have guessed that I am a wanna-be type A personality.  I want to be a perfectionist but I can never get anything perfect..Sigh...

I am not your typical disorganized person either, I look like I am organized.  Yes, I bought each and every one of of Mom/Martha's storage boxes to enhance this ruse:

I have things put away and everything seems very neat and orderly but I have a deep, dark secret--I don't know where the 'h' anything is.  If it's put away I get instant amnesia, it no longer exists, it becomes part of the black hole which is my office.

Today was my rock bottom, I can no longer pretend and go on with this charade.  I am making my resolution in the middle of February to become more organized.  So, I pulled up some resources for you in case you were suffering the same affliction. Here's what I found:

  • This nice (and very organized lady) has a great idea organizing  the composition notebooks that I so covet. Plus she offered up the link for the self-adhesive chalkboard sheets which I feel are beyond brilliant (unless you hate chalk and chalkboards).  I feel a billion craft projects coming on with these beauties.

  • People are singing the praises of this free cyber organizational tool I personally am going to start as non-techy as possible, but this might be more to your liking.

Good luck lovelies! I know I will need it.  Don't worry, I plan to make this a priority, so there will be many more ideas to follow.  If you have any great tips please let me know. If they work for someone as inept as myself I will write about them...
