Getting organized.

Today I am in a mood to organize everything in my house. Unfortunately I will not be able to do any of this wonderful organizing until next week since I’m headed to Pickwick after work this weekend. I get all excited about the possibilities of having an organized house. My list keeps getting longer as to what I need to purchase to help this along and what I want to do. There are tons of neat little organizers I want to get. I know it’s odd to get excited about looking at home organizers, but it’s just refreshing to think about how everything could be in its place. Ok so I know it’s called OCD but that’s a good thing at times, right?

My goals for next week include:
• Go through guest bath. I have too much junk under the sink that I do not use nor will ever use. I need to organize this better
• Get shelving/containers for guest bath and master bath. This will help keep all those make-ups, medicines, etc neat and easy to see what I have so I will finally use them
• More shelving for the kitchen. I have too many dishes/pans/food to be seen that I need something so I can see what I actually have in there.
• Finally put much needed shelf liner in the kitchen. I know I should have done this 3 years ago but I didn’t.
• Add more additional shelving to the laundry room. My goal here is to use the pantry shelves already in place as a pantry instead of holding junk I don’t use nor need.
• Throw away anything I have not used in the past year! This goes for the whole house as I organize and clean it. I have a tendency to keep things thinking I’ll use it or that I need to keep it. No more! If I have not worn it, use it, looked at it, or thought about it in a year it is gone.
This is just the list for next week. I have more that I want to do as the weeks come and I’m in Oxford on the weekends.

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Looks like it might warm up a smidge so we won’t have to cuddle up in side all weekend.
