It’s COLD out there this morning.
It’s COLD out there EVERY morning.
I’d like to be a good neighbor and go socialize with my new next door neighbors, but it’s too darn cold out there, and last time I walked over to chat they weren’t home. I’m not doing that again! I feel like I have to dress like a polar bear to go outside. Brrrrrrr!
But anyway, I’m participating in a little organization challenge, called Smart Habit Saturday, and you are supposed to chose one goal to work on for the week. I’ve chosen an organizational goal for this week, and that is to clean out one drawer every day. On Saturday I started by cleaning out one of the “junk drawers” in the kitchen. Yes, sadly, we have more than one. The one I tackled was where we had been putting owners manuals for appliances, etc. I thought I had put a gift certificate I got for my birthday in there, and I was actually looking for that. Didn’t find the gift certificate (darn), but I did find a host of other crap that got thrown away. I also took all the manuals and put them in a file, and now they are happily filed away, instead of sloshing all over in the drawer.
Today the kids are out of school, and it looks like we’ve had a closet explosion in the girls’ room. So, I’m going to work on that one. It’s not a drawer, but I’ll count it anyway. Hopefully I won’t get lost myself in there, and I’ll be able to accomplish it without going into anaphalactic (yes, I know it’s spelled wrong, but I really have NO idea how to spell it, so I’m just guessing) shock from being in their extremely messy room for more than a few minutes.
Oh, and can you tell me what movie our post title comes from today?
Hmm, don’t know that one, but I do know that your first two lines come from Groundhog Day, which is a popular holiday in our home because that’s the day I send out my annual holiday family letter, instead of for Christmas.
So basically your habit is to do one organizing project every day, wherever it’s needed right? If we all did that then we would be able to stay ahead of the clutter that accumulates!
Did you have fun in the closet and were you able to find your way out again? I am going to tackle my junk room today. Yes I have a whole room full of junk. Don’t tell anyone!
