Sweetheart, why don't you make a neatish pile for the moment. We need to get the additional bookcase for the bedroom when I get back, as well as the additional ones that we talked about for DVD's in the living room. That will help with the book issue. The closets in the mudroom need to be tackled, but I think that's a project that both of us are going to need to do. We've talked about bins there and all kinds of things. Don't let it overwhelm you.

Here Kristin, this should drive you away from the internets:

I've noticed that Carrot Top and Bret Michaels are really starting to resemble each other. (It's not the shot I wanted of Bret, but if you watch any clips of Rock Of Love, you'll see what I mean.)

Also, hugs and congrats on your anniversary.

I've done the weeding already; this is the stuff I couldn't bear to throw out or give away. I'm sure there's stuff in the cabinets and the pantry that needs to be tossed, but it's just a massive project. I need one of those organizational home improvement show to come take pity on me. Or I need my mom. She's better than one of those shows.

My Mom loves organizing things. Want to borrow her?

There's definitely stuff in the pantry that needs to be tossed. I've also got the garage on the list for a big weeding in the next two weeks since I've got to get it organized and ready for the influx of new equipment due to Halloween Horror Nights.

Sweetheart, why don't you make a neatish pile for the moment.

I'm going to second ND.

I don't think we actually need another big bookshelf; I gave away enough books before I packed them that I think some creative reorganization should do the trick. We do need those other DVD shelves, but we knew that already.

You're right. I can pile up the rest for now. I'm just feeling overwhelmed by the clutter. Clutter is bad for me. But I'll wait until you're home. It does make more sense to do it together.

I know it overwhelms you. Right now put it in the guest room and close the door. We'll pick up the DVD shelves on the way home from the airport when I get in on Friday and put them up.

My poor parents lost three trees today, after one fell on their garage [link] They called public works, tree division, and learned that three of the trees in their yard had been eaten to sponge-likeness by carpenter ants. I feel so badly for them.

Right now put it in the guest room and close the door.

After that, hopefully I'll be home around 9:30-10ish. Burnout Revenge LIVE? Nothing calms the nerves like crash racing :)
