Aloha Friday #125
If you had the time, what area of your home would you re-organize?
Whoa! She was reading my mind! I’ve been on quite the mission in the past two weeks. You see … I’m a paper-pack-rat. But please don’t tell anyone. I’m sharing with you because … well … you’re YOU! And you’re special. :blush:
At any rate, I have put life on hold. ON HOLD, PEOPLE! I have been dragging around an unspecified number of boxes labeled “Misc” for years. Inside those boxes contain very important papers. These might be ticket stubs, bills, 15-cent coupons, pics of the boys when they were like 2, taken … somewhere. I dunno – these are the things that made it through two natural disasters and umpteen moves.
The contents of those boxes have been tossed, filed, or uploaded. Aside from the screaming backache, I feel accomplished! After 10 years, I can finally cross “Become more organized” off my New Year’s Resolution list! YIPPEE 4 ME! :party:
In case anyone is wondering about the answer to this week’s question, it would be a reorganization of the head! :rotfl:
