There are a ton of little areas in my life that are in need of some severe organizational help. We are talking a veritable organizing 9-1-1! Thankfully I have been able to get a handle of some of the areas that have been causing me to lose a shit load of sleep. Those are the ones that I figure I will share with you! Just to show that my little hiatus was a little beneficial. (Just a little!)
Organizing Family Game Night
We have and play a ton of games in the family. I even have to give my 15 year old a by from the cuss jar during Nerts just because it gets soooo intense! We even went out and bought three different versions of dominoes so we can play Mexican Train. It's quite sad! My little dilemma with my little game fetish is the fact that I have more games than I have space to store them in! Closets are out of the question, it would be a pain in the butt to get to games in the kitchen cabinets, and the same would go for chests. The games vary drastically in size and it was driving me insane trying to figure out what to do with them. Plus I inherited a crap load of furniture when my fiance moved in so I needed to make room for a heck of a lot more furniture. I called in the design expert aka Mom and we went to work rearranging the house. What started out as an out of the way location for the games turned into an sheer act of brilliance on my mothers part. She placed the games kitty korner in the game room and put a table cloth on our game table. When you walk buy the room you don't see the games visually, but when we need to grab a game they are all right there! Easy to get to, easy to view, and easy to take out the next pawn in my annihilation of the family! Oh ya, baby! Suzy is the Game Master!
Suzy Learned to Cook
I already posted on how I get through the grocery store with my new found passion for cooking more than hot dogs and mac-n-cheese, but now I have all of these wonderful recipes that I have stolen from family and friends and printed from the internet. They were initially shoved in my junk drawer because I really didn't think I would use them THAT much. Now my junk drawer is the resting place for a boat load of really yummy recipes that I pull out for BBQ weekends. Mmmm, strawberry and chocolate crepes! Yummmmmmm!!!!! I thought about doing the little recipe box thing, but that really isn't me. I am afraid I will lose those little cards and quite frankly, I write big and there isn't enough space. Instead, I grabbed my trusty composition book and started putting the recipes in there. I just taped the ones I printed from the internet to the pages (I am way too lazy to hand write them) and then ones that were just scribbled I actually re wrote them and put them in the book. I can always find my favorite recipes because they are the ones covered in goo and oil. :) I'm not really what you would call a "tidy" cook! I can stand up my notebook without fear and it makes me feel just a bit more confident because I LOVE my composition books! I still have my 3x5 cards with the grocery items I need at the store if I get a wild hair up my keister to cook something and that has been worth it's weight in Crabby Cheesey Goodness!
Organizing the Craziness That is My Life
Trying to organize my day, bills, work, the family and remembering where I put my brain has been a NIGHTMARE lately! So when Levenger came out with their new multi-tasker organizer I DIED! I Twittered Steve Leveen and ordered my latest Circa brilliance and I can't tell you how much I LOVE IT! I will blog about it separately now that I am getting back into the swing of blogging, because it is absolutely wonderful and deserves some undivided attention.
Although I was able to get quite a few things put in order, I am far from finished. The garage is in need of a major overhaul, my car is a rolling disaster and pit of doom that my children call their bedroom is scaring the living daylights out of me! Those are my next projects and I promise to blog and take pictures of our progress!
Until next time,
Happy Organizing!!!!
