Three Days of Organizational Bliss

You know your middle name is Martha when you lay out your plans for the next 72 hours and instead of planning a quick get-away you think, "I could clean all of the closets and go through those boxes." It may not be life changing, but it will be nice to start 2011 with some refreshing of the organization around here.

Mind you, I didn't wake up early to start this endeavor (there has to be some easing into the day, no need to rush). However, I now have what may be the cleanest fridge we've ever had and I even pulled it out and scrubbed the floor behind it. Yikes.

Off to the closets. Watch out Goodwill/Library/Recycling/Trash there's like to be something headed your way. Should you need any new reading material or miscellaneous kitchen items, just call, I am likely to have something to fit the bill.

Lacking Motivat...

Seriously, after demonstrating hyper productivity to prep and execute the holiday celebrations of the past weekend, I've hit a rut. Sure, I could lament some of the week being hijacked by actual work, work, but really let's be honest. I'm the picture of inertia at the moment. The boxes and paperwork are not going to sort themselves. I'd rather blog about a lack of productivity than say, be productive. With any luck, I will rediscover my sorting mojo and the house will enter 2011 clutter free.

Well Laid Plans

Last weekend I planned and shopped for a week of eating at home, getting back on track with meal planning and staying focused on budget. On Monday, I found out a beloved colleague was tragically killed and our university community was thrown into grieving and shock. Meals didn't get cooked this week, floors weren't vacuumed. The few hours not spent at the office were spent sleeping. This weekend I finally had some time to unplug and hang out with DH. Hold 'em tight. It's really all that matters.
