is that weird? I've been an organizer since I was a little girl. I used to alphabetize my books by author. My Barbie dolls had a color-coordinated closet. I had underwear with the days of the week embroidered on them. You get the picture. It's a wonder I didn't grow up to be a community organizer. Not. I rearranged my bedroom and my closet constantly. And when I bought my own home - 1800 square feet of space that was mine, all mine! - I was an organizing fiend. I mean that in a good fiend way. One of my dreams was to have an gift wrapping center like the one in the picture. I never did get one, but I came close when Tim installed cabinets and a workspace in my craft room - formerly the guest room. It was lovely; he even built my sewing machine into a counter-top that he had installed into the closet after we removed the sliding closet doors. Unfortunately, I never took any photographs of my craft room - dang it! You think you're going to live in one place forever and then life happens and you don't - and well, it's just a nice memory. The one thing that never seems to change is my penchant for organizing - and I'm working on the laundry closet in my spare time (do I even have any during tax season?) to make a place for my sewing fabric. Don't worry - I'm sure I'll post some photos and yak about that project when I'm finished. Until then, I can dream...

Every evening I remind myself it's time for me to organize my "bag of crap" so I can take it to my tax gal, then every morning I conveniently forget about it. What's with that???
