New Organization Challenge!
The newest Weekly challenge is...
A home management binder...
Being a teacher I had a lot of this stuff available to me! PLUS my new LABELER!!! Also there are several things that are going on this week that will give me lots of time to work on something like this...
1.) Tomorrow I have jury duty...so I will go downtown to the superior court of Calfornia and learn if I am going to be part of a jury!
2.) My little baby sister is having a BABY! Today, tomorrow...I don't know! I just want to hold my baby niece...LIKE NOW!!!
Anyway I am super stoked about moving forward with all of this organizing...and I secretly hope that TONI does another 21 days eventually...that I can go further with this...
or maybe I should be brave enough to list the other areas of my gorgeous house that need to be organized...
ok fine...I talked myself into it.
Here are my 5 goals:
1.) My Office
2.) Putting away my Christmas stuff...since it is now Feb. (please be nice and not mean and judgemental...lol)
3.) My living room and the junk that is in it...
4.) my junk mail shred pile
5.) my files upstairs...now that I have a labeler...I need to make them pretty not just functional!
ok I will get to work on this binder soon...maybe tomorrow.

Meet the family...

This is Daisy, my orange tabby cat that I got in front of Vons grocery store on 4th of July, 2007. I was getting ready to move out and go to Lake Elsinore to teach my first year of school. She came with me and was with me through two different addresses in Lake Elsinore. Rich and Daisy have a love/hate relationship- I think she wonders why he got in the middle of me and her. haha I love her. She comes in the middle of the night and likes to sit right on me...She is a very special cat.
This is Bella- our 2 year old Beagle. She is lively and energetic (sometimes) and she is currently working on losing those dreaded 5 pounds...(which is a lot for her little 35 pound frame) We got Bella off Craigslist.com on Superbowl sunday 1.5 years ago.
This is Charlotte, She is a three year old Basset hound/beagle mix. We has such good luck on craigslist that we decided to try again and we found Char. She is a lover, she would love nothing more than to lay on top of you and put her head next to your face. Charlotte can jump 5 feet high and she does not like to swim (as Bella does.) When we got Charlotte she only weighed 14 pounds, a basset hound is supposed to weigh 40-60 pounds on average. We have since got her eating and up to 35 pounds which is still small but MUCH healthier.
