So Many Things To Talk About

Geez, it's been awhile. I've all but stopped holding myself to the 'daily' blog entry. I'm sorry, y'all--I can't do it! BUT, I'm still moving forward, as each new day brings new hopes that I may keep my commitment to this. So sometimes I'll write more than one entry per day. No rhyme or reason--just primarily according to how I'm feeling. The last few days have been pretty spectacular in many ways, and not so much in others. Make sense? Continue reading.

The weather here has been very cold, to say the least. I stayed in all weekend cleaning. There seems to be so much more to do, especially since I have a lot of 'little' things to put away. I've always had trouble trying to put things away. You know--those things that you put away, but always can't find when you need. Things like candles, picture frames, manuals (for computer programs or the rice cooker) and, well, other stuff. Where do you put these?

My problem is I'll put them in containers. Nice containers, boxes, etc. But containers that, eventually, multiply and are never really organized as much as I'd like. Now, organizing is my forte. Or at least I should be a master at it. My career entails organizational thinking and a detail-oriented thought process. I did it more in my previous management and consulting jobs. A lot, actually. But organizing, managing and developtmental skills are the foundational basics of what I do. At work.

At home---well, I don't get paid for that.

I don't do it very well.

Like Chef's who don't cook at home. Or domineering bosses who are usually pushovers with their spouses. So it is with me.

And so it is. My filing system is laughable. You see it up in the first paragraph. I keep all my 'important papers' in Duane Reade bags. Duane Reade bags!!!! I've had them in there for the last 3 years. All with the 'intention' of filing them in chronological order, all nicely bound then filed neatly in some stylish file cabinet. If you can remember what I said about 'good intentions'. I know what I should do, but again--coupled with my laziness, I'm a mess.

The following blogs are written off of a list of things that I've been thinking about. I'm great at lists~ the part of developing my lists means work. God help me get organized.
