Hubby told me he wants me to organize my CDs and books. Does the man have no *clue* what he's encouraging? Alphabetization! Cataloguing!

Silly man. Fun weekend ahead.

I need to organize my books, but first I need to get some more bookshelves. I've got way more books than shelf space right now, but I'm having trouble finding floor space to put another bookshelf. The only space I see is this one corner where I've currently got a rug leaning against the wall -- it used to belong to my sister's roommate, but then she moved out and gave it to my sister, who didn't like it and wanted to donate it to the Salvation Army, but they wouldn't pick stuff up in her neighborhood, so she gave it to me when I moved here, but then I decided I didn't like how it looked here, so it's just been leaning against the wall for three years. Maybe I'll try freecycling it.

Heh, I keep hoping to get around to organizing the books in our office, but there's so much crap scattered around this room that in two years I haven't ever quite gotten it cleaned up enough to have room for book organization.

The pile of old, unused tech alone is about four feet high. We either need to craigslist this stuff, or just take it to electronics disposal and be done with it.

I want to organize my books, but I have to find and install a hanging stemware rack first. Geesh.

{{{Raq}}} I hope the weekend treats you well.

I need to clean the floors before my sister gets here for a visit this evening. The kids finally went down for their naps. And by went down, I mean Owen has stopped screaming and kicking his door.

Time to pick up toys, swiffer and mop.

Raq, at least it was just a sleeve.

Gah. I hated taking my toddlers into public bathrooms. I'm still all, "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING YOU DON'T HAVE TO TOUCH," when I take Julia into the Ladies' Room.

A friend of mine here trained her two kids to hold their hands up in the air the entire time while in public restrooms (they were 4 and 6). They do NOT touch any surface with their hands--they kick the doors open or use their elbows. It's quite a sight to see.

I'm thinking Owen will be lolling around on the floors and wearing toilet seat covers for scarves, eventually.

argh. stupid day. why you so stupid, stupid day?

Why not? Kara does.

{{Gris}} I'm one of those teachers who didn't make it past the first year. Hang in there. While I'm fine with the way things have gone since then, I do wish I'd had the lovely advice and support you've gotten today.

My organization plan is "We're moving in a month, so everything will be organized in the new apartment."

It's a perfect plan!
