LIFE

I took this from my niece Maggie's blog because I love it so much. Holstee Manifesto. I am now going to work on my own manifesto.

Organize Project

I could not remember how long I have lived at my current home but I think its 7 or 8 years.  All I know is that lately I have been needing to make changes.  I think when you get used to a place or a routine its a good to do something to break out of that.  So I took on reorganizing my storage space, bedroom closet, hall closet and kitchen cabinet/drawers.  First I went out and bought some supplies. I organize people for a living so I knew a few things would help transform my spaces.  As a result I have a great new closet, tossed out a lot, donated some and found some old photos from the past.

Some of the best places to get organizing supplies are Target and The Container Store.

One of my photo discoveries from a trip to visit my sister Lori.  We climbed the Sydney Harbor Bridge. I think this was the mid 90's looking at my hair style. Some of the other photos my hair from the 80's was just too scary to post!

Blizzardalooza 2011

As most of you know Chicago had a Blizzard this past week.  I think the total was 22 inches.   There was 60 mile an hour wind gusts and thundersnow and lighting.  It was pretty cool and scary at the same time.  Got a great workout helping my neighbors shovel out the alley so our cars can get out.  Now I am wondering how long it will take to melt, and how do I ship some off to my family in Australia and when is spring going to get here.
