Just because...

it's spring and is is SUPPOSED to warm outside. I SHOULD be wearing flip-flops, capris, and a tank top. But I'm not.

Nope, I wore a coat today and sat next to the fireplace in Starbucks. (I don't go to the Starbucks too often because then I feel as though I am in a metropolitan area and then I feel sad to leave and look at all the wildlife again.)

Getting organized

It is amazing what I find interesting. A few weeks ago Dooce published some pictures of her attempts at organization. And I really enjoyed looking at the cool ideas she came up with.

I was so inspired that I bought some canvas bins and went to work. Check out my lovely linen closet:





Two bins are for sheets, one bin for table linens and the last one is for towels. Trust me, it looks a lot better somewhat contained.


Next is an attempt to make my closet better organized, see the four blue bins? I once had all that stuff in one giant tub. Not a fun thing to search for your swimsuit top in.

I also took a gander at my coat closet and my other closet. My husband is wondering how many of those bins we really need. I only have 12, so I am off to a good start. He won't let me but his clothes in them though.

Dallas, here we come

Due to job upsetness in our household, sickness and my wonderful parents visiting, I haven't posted. But I do have some fun things in mind for later.

The big news at the moment is that we are coming to Dallas next Saturday the 21st and will be in town until the 30th. My parents are having a big cookout on the 22nd starting about noon. If you want to come, just let me know so that we can have a head count and you might want to bring a lawn chair. I hope to see you all there!
