I ended up buying bins to sort out the stuff in the study. our computer desk has these deep cubbies. I found an old YMCA basketball schedule from Ed's team that Coach was coaching from like 8 years ago. It was time to make better use of that space. I think it was annoying me to not be able to organize anything in the kitchen. All that upheaval made me crave order somewhere! I can't wait for the kitchen to be done so I can start discovering all of our 'other' junk. sigh. (And yes this might be the longest kitchen renovation EVER).Erniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14976227572609917624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-74161266195278566692018-01-24T20:34:19.734-05:002018-01-24T20:34:19.734-05:00What is it about cleaning out something that feels...What is it about cleaning out something that feels so satisfying?

My small victory to...Aaah.... the small victories.<br /><br />My small victory today was suggesting to my son who was looking for his backpack to bring it back to college that someone may have put it in a closet - even though he would never have put it there himself. The eternal battle between the organizers and their victims.<br /><br />Yes, it was in a closet. And no, he never would have looked there.Harrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-28460356509616097832018-01-23T21:57:16.614-05:002018-01-23T21:57:16.614-05:00ha!

Usually by throwing tools in there. Why tools? Because he will need them again at some point and, apparently, the garage is too far away. Enjoy it while you can! I think the only way to truly prevail is to put some sort of lock on it with you as the only keeper of the key. That gives me an idea...Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-53890615094275930482018-01-23T13:56:40.661-05:002018-01-23T13:56:40.661-05:00IKEA bag-sealing clips - best things ever!<a rel="nofollow">IKEA bag-sealing clips</a> - best things ever!Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-21009433503455088412018-01-23T11:49:12.434-05:002018-01-23T11:49:12.434-05:00My poor daughter keeps organizing our junk drawer ...My poor daughter keeps organizing our junk drawer for us and we keep screwing it up again.
