My friend the organization GURU.
04.28.04 (10:33 am) [edit]
It's amazing how much crap one person can accumulate.
Let me back up a bit. I'm NOT a packrat. I keep things that are important or special to me. Despite my ability to throw just about anything in the circular file, I still find myself weeding out CRAP all the time.
My paperwork/bills have been in such a mess for ages. I'm talking years worth of bills, insurance papers, receipts, titles, healthcare forms, government papers and financial odds and ends. Up until last night these papers were stuffed into various spots around my house with absolutely no organization or order.
On the other hand, Krista is one of the most organized people I know. A virtual organization GURU, I tell ya. That girl has her shit together. She could probably tell you at any given moment where any paper in her house is. Of course, I begged and pleaded with her to come and help me re-organize my paperwork. Actually, "re-organizing" would imply they were once organized. That, my friends would be a false misrepresentation of my previous bookkeeping skills. My shit has never been organized. I can never figure out the best way to sort and package it.
We started at 9pm last night and worked until 2am. Every single piece of paperwork is now snug it's own little folder home. I'm so excited I can barely see straight.
Thank you so much Krista! I owe you. Big time.

I am doing an intervention for a friend who has 3 sewing machines she doesn't use. I am just waiting for her to set the date. :D

I really should organize my papers. That is a lot better than throwing them out which is pretty much what I do. *sigh* I am so bad about such things.

Me too Lynne... She was positively aghast at the state of my paperwork. At one point I hear her say "HOLY SHIT".. Evidently I had 2 different vehicle titles just thrown in a box.
*shrug*

What would we do without girlfriends, Kate?
I know that I would be LOST.

Yea.. I'm still working out the bugs. The few remaining problems are eluding me. I emailed Rocky for advice. I'm glad you like it!
ps. I'm sure if you brought Krista to England, she would love to organize your paperwork. ;-)
