getting organized!
I used to be one of the most orgainized people ever. I used to go to friends houses to play and some how convince them we needed to clean their room (cause that would be fun) and organize their drawers. (I was a freak child!- the parents loved me though). Anyway. In high school I was a planner. I had a planner that had my every bit of life in it. (one time I left it on top of my car and drove off-- it ended up as loose paper in the road- it was not a good thing). Anyway- Somehow, as I have grown up I have become less organized. Why? I don't know!
I have some thoughts.
- when I was younger I juggled work, school, friends, church, babysitting, etc. Many things on the schedule. When I got older I had work.
- I had more time to sit down and think through how I wanted my day to be. (I don't know that I have less time now, or I'm more exhausted, or I just don't have the motivation cause I am not juggling as diverse of a schedule)
Whatever the reason. I do need to get organized. I go through spurts. I get organized- get busy- forget about keeping up with "organized" and then catch up/ or regret not being organized later.
I am fully admitting that I am a type A personality. I like to know what's going on-- how it will happen, who is involved, how it will play out. Maybe in my life I have realized that those things don't really stay the way I play them out in my head- so why waist my time. But there is some comfort in knowing that I tried to "prepare" in my head (not sure if that's anxiety or wisdom).
So today-- (as my husband has left for some Christmas shopping) I am going to get organized. Make some goals for myself. Figure out a game plan to stick with them. Plan some meals. Budget some stuff. Figure out how to get rid of some unneeded "stuff" we have in our basement (aka- try and sell it!). And see if I can get on the organized train before the crazy holiday season (I am kind of panicking for all I have committed to in December and before Christmas). I will get done. I will do it well. I just have to plan for it!
Sorry for this rambling post-- just getting my thoughts out there. Maria- I know that you are disapointed that I don't have my clothes on color coded hangers anymore-- I guess maybe I am just normal now. :)

ok, wait... your husband Christmas shops? Wow!
I am totally type A too, and as I have aged I have seen myself come and go with the surface organization. Over all though, the underneath has stayed overall compartmented... I can relate...
I am sorry I have nothing more profound. As I read your post I knew something wise and wonderful to say, and then I read about your husband Christmas shopping. I am still in shock.
Um - you read my mind!
I was thinking that this week.. I need to organize my life!!! I hate, that unorganized feeling, and forgetting dates, because I never wrote them on my date planner!
We would get along oh-so-well. I had this friend all thru school and I would go to her house and clean her room. She was messy and I was a neat freak. I used to love to help her organize. Her mom loved me! I am type A too. I think it's a good thing. :)
Amen Sista...I knew there was another reason why we get along so well :).
How was your weekend? Mine was good with the "in-laws" aka. "in-hearts". Glad to get the week started and looking forward to Thanksgiving.
Starting to work on Ab/buttock workout...I feel so out of shape and so lazy. I hope I keep up with it.
