Car Trunk Mission Accomplished!

I went to the store with a co-worker of mine because we were shopping for another co-worker's house warming gift.  When we got to the car I immediately opened my backseat door so we can put our gifts in the back of the car.  I realized that I didn't know what was in my trunk. Why don't I ever use my trunk to hold things that I buy when I go shopping?


So the next day I opened my trunk and decided to empty it.  I found old textbooks, a dvd player, feathers *smiles*, CDs, and so many other things that didn't belong there.  Now all my trunk has in it is my spare tire, tools to install my spare tire if needed, jumper cables, and an umbrella. It was great loading all of my groceries in there tonight. *Smiles*

Casual Update - Seeking Comments/Suggestions

So for the last few days I have been taking a break from the organizing kick I had =)  I still have it however I am running out of main areas to tackle. Between celebrating a belated Valentine's, my car acting funky, and my friend going to the hospital related to her pregnancy I've been pretty distracted from my blog!

Here is my request - please post your comments/suggestions on what I have posted so far AND what you would like to see me cover in the future.  I can't promise that I will implement exactly what you suggest but your comments may inspire me to tackle something else!

Fridge Conquest - It was a tough battle!

I should have known better than to tackle this expecting to be done in an hour or so!  *smiles* I'm glad I did though, it had to be done!  How much food goes to waste and how much time is spent trying to figure out what to eat?  I have done it so many times, open the fridge thinking "man, we have nothing to eat" or "eh, I don't want anything in here because it'd take too much time to fix something." In the middle of this battle I decided to make some juice for the next couple of days for us too (too darn ambitious!) haha. It's not perfect but it is a whole lot better than it was before. See for yourself!

Before...

After!

Sock/Underwear Drawers - Conquered!

WOW!  So here's what I did...I emptied out my two top dresser drawers on to my bed (hence the Before picture).  After sorting through by throwing away undergarments I am never going to wear again and overused socks that needed to desperately retire (holes, tears, stains, evidence wear etc). The whole process between the Before picture and the After picture took less than one hour!  This project has made me realize that I have more socks than underwear & bras combined.  I think I just realized what I really want for Valentine's Day. *smiles*

49 Pieces of Clothes in 1 Drawer!

I spent about an hour and half sorting through my dresser and organized the clothing articles again in 4 categories: Trash, Donate, Sell, and Keep.  I did not find any clothes in there that I wanted to sell. There were some that I am willing to donate.  Basically I had 3 drawers of clothes I wanted to keep and I folded them in a way that I can SEE what shirts I have. I also managed to fit all 49 pieces of shirts (t-shirts, sleeveless, long-sleeved, and camisoles/tanks) in ONE single drawer. AMAZING.  My drawers are not unusually large either it's about... 24"W x 14" D x 6" H. Yes I could have spent the two hours playing a video game or watching a movie before bed...but I decided to be productive and use that time to sort through my clothes, fold them, and blog about it. *smiles*
