Disorganized Organization!

Lately I've had such a desire to become more organized. Is that weird at the age of 27 I'll simply start getting organized? I thought that was kind of an ingrained thing that you're either born with or something that your parents teach you.

Actually organization is not necessarily the problem because I have always been a very organized person - just in an disorangized sense if that makes sense. I'll have a messy house but still get frustrated if steve cleans up while I'm away and suddenly all the mess is not where it was and I can't find all of my important paperwork. Is that weird? I think so.

So anyway all that said I've been having the strange desire to get organized - this time in a REAL organized way.

I've also been into getting rid of crap.
Last week Steve and I went through our "storage room" in the basement and I threw away 5 rubbermaid storage bins of crap - sentimental crap that is.
I am such a pack rat but I realized as I started looking through some of these boxes that the crap I had in there had literally been in the same box since I moved here to St. Louis 5 years ago! Since then I have moved 3 different times and still the crap has never found a home in any of my homes so I figured rather than sit in a box I might as well get rid of it.
As hard for me as I thought it would be it really wasn't all that bad. Probably because I"m using the rest of the crap that I DIDN'T get rid of that I should have trashed as well as a reward - kind of like "well you got rid of all this other stuff so for that you can keep this other trash." How odd is that? More....how odd does my mind work?

Anyway enough about that. Besides the whole getting rid of trash part does anyone have any extraordinary ideas on getting more organized in a more organized way? I really want to try.

PS.....here's a recent pic of steve and I - I know it really has nothing to do with my blog entry but I just realized that I hadn't posted any pictures for awihle so I figured I'd show you how I'm styling my hair as of late - all right I know it's not any different than how I was styling my hair six months ago but it's the only good picture I could find that we've taken lately so i gotta work with what I got.
PPS.....check out the cool new hat that Dale & Missy gave Steve. oww!
