Organizing Day 3

Tuesday was get-the-kitchen-in-order day. Monday was pick-up-the-best-so-you-can-start-organizing day. Yesterday was take-care-of-some-of-those-little-annoying-projects day.

One included finding the labels for my black boxes. I put the boxes together when I was pregnant, so I know it's been a while! I do not like my handwriting, so I am not a fan of writing labels, plus, as I said in my previous post, I like to try a system before I make the labels.

I have 6 black boxes by the front door and the contents have not changed since last year. Tuesday night when I couldn't sleep I was trying to remember where I put the labels. Thankfully they were the 2nd place I looked! One project completed.

The other project hasn't been sitting around so long, but about a month. I bought the same boxes from Ikea, but smaller and in white. We have had several recent discussions of where a particular USB stick is, so I thought, "Why not put them all together?"

I am embarrassed of my other project...

See this lovely cream jacket? This is it minutes before it was tainted with chocolate from a Belgian waffle...This photo was July 3, 2011-gulp.

I guess in the hustle and bustle of visitors and having a baby I didn't get to the stain. I want to save my jacket, so I bought dye to turn it gray or blue, but thought maybe I can get the spot out. My attempts from yesterday failed. Today is a new idea...rubbing alcohol, since I don't know what hydrogen peroxide is in Dutch :)

  1. It sounds like you're being very productive. I've neglected a pile or two for about six months, so I know how fast time can go before you realize it. At least you're completing your organization projects now and not later. You inspire me.
