Getting organized.....

What a task, man. And there are so many books and on-line resources that it's simply overwhelming! But oh, what a dream it is to be organized! I guess this is my new years resolution because I'm tackling it with full force without even thinking about it. It just sort of happened.

I've started with my purse. I've narrowed it down to 7 simple items: keys (and not every one's key, my own keys), a wallet with two cards, id and some cash, note-book/planner, lipstick, cell phone. Wait, that's only 5. Hot Damn, I downsized even more than I thought I had to! Woo-hoo!

Next came the spare bedroom. Now THAT has been a tumultuous task, let me tell you. Everything is now out in the living room and I can't help but wonder how the hell did so much stuff fit into one little room? My ideas for that room are grand, and I had to come to the understanding yesterday that is was not going to get done all in one weekend, oh no. There's painting to do, and a dresser to refinish, and a smaller TV to purchase, and curtains to make, and art to frame, and on and on. And seeing as how I don't live in California or New York, I don't qualify for Design on a Dime or Mission Organization.

And I just remembered I forgot to take pictures of the room!!! I should have taken BEFORE pictures! What was I thinking??? See, I wasn't organized.
