Organization rules!

I was in an organizing mood today.  I love to be organized, but mostly I tend to put it off for another day, so being in the mood today made me very happy.  I finally put in the little basket organizers in the bathroom bottom drawer (they'd only been sitting on the corner of the tub for about 3-4 months, you know).  Then I went through the 401k reports and culled, and put in all of 2009 reports that had been stacked in the armoire.  Yesterday I went up in the attic and went through the tax returns boxes, putting in 2008 and taking out 2001 and 2002.  Today all that crap was shredded.  The good news is it took only less than an hour.  The first time I actually decided I needed to get rid of all that old stuff, it took me HOURS to shred.  Yes, I had that much.  I'm a bookkeeper by trade and we keeps stuffs, we do.  Every singly bit of stuffs.  Because you never know when an auditor might want it.  I've also balanced my checkbooks, (Yes, I balance them the old-fashioned way.  You don't?  Shame on you!) did some filing and report printing. 

Chili beans are simmering on the stove and some deep pit beef (bought, not made from scratch) is in the oven.  The only thing I haven't done is I want to go through some cupboard and winnow junk and make room for old Disney VCR tapes that I do not want to get rid of.  And oh yes, the new DVD Recorder/VCR player is still in the box awaiting installation.  I don't know why I keep putting that off.  WEll, yes, I do.  The TV will have to be moved to get to the wiring and the damn thing is heavy (no, we do not have a flat screen).  Oh I have to re-pot a ficus. 

But the Internetz are calling.
