Organized Smorganized

One of my New Year's resolutions is to become more organized.  An example where this would come in handy is in keeping track of my New Year's resolutions.  I've had them floating around in my head since Janurary 1st, and this is the first time I have actually documented any of them...and January is practically over.  I should probably get around to writing up the rest of my list at some point...

Anyhoo, I started reading this book called Living Organized: Proven Steps for a Clutter-Free and Beautiful Home hoping that it would help me begin the journey of organization.  My mom actually recommended this book to me as "a great start to my library" on my new Kindle...but let's be honest, she lived with me for 22 years and knows that I need all the help I can get.  And so far the first chapter of this book has astounded me.  The author divides the world into two categories, the Messies and the Cleanies and goes on to describe personality traits of both and which side of the brain is dominant for each group.  And I swear, as I was reading about how most Messies have a hard time making decisions it was like I was reading an autobiography.  The author gave the example of a purple sweater that was no longer worn that so closely mirrored an actual event in my life just weeks earlier it was almost scary.  Here is my story...

Hmmm, I just bought a whole bunch of new clothes with my Christmas money and I'm out of hangers...I guess I should probably get rid of some of this stuff I never wear.  Like this blue long sleeved shirt.  I never wear it anymore so I should probably get rid of it.  But it's such a unique color.  I don't own anything else this color of blue...I can't part with it!  Oh, but it's got a stain on the sleeve that I can't seem to get out.  Well, maybe I can hem the sleeves and make them 3/4 length.  Let me try it on and see how that would look...oh yeah, I forgot I shrunk this in the wash a little, it barely covers my stomach...but if I wear a light pink cami under it, it would look SOOO cute.  Maybe I'll ask David what he thinks about it. 
"Hey Honey, what do you think about this blue shirt?"
"I haven't ever seen you wear that one."
"Does that mean you like it?"
"I'm indifferent"
Well that was no help.

And then I left it in the closet and left my new clothes in a pile on the floor.
