The Pile

You have one.... the pile.... ours is on the kitchen counter to the left of the refridgerator. You can find anything and everything in the pile. P-man's yearbook order, Ginger's prescription we never filled, coupons I am going to use, bills to be paid, receipts I know I should keep, the Mary Kay catalog, the bill from getting our side of beef.... it's all there. Well, today I went through it. The pile is down to about 6 items... the receipt to getting the beef butchered (can I return it if I don't want it?) the Mary Kay catalog (I can get make up similar to my Bare Escentuals for about $6 cheaper), Ginger's physical therapy order and a few receipts that I really do need to keep.

It took me over 2 hours. Okay - so I was also instant messaging my niece at the same time on facebook... but still - is it a sign that I let too much accumulate? Probably. But at the same time, I have a good sense of accomplishment today! The trash bag is a little fuller, the pile is shorter, and I am more organized!

Life is good.
