get organized

My camera is full of pictures that need to be uploaded to this laptop.  Last week, three of the electrical outlets in my room died and since then, my bedroom has been in shambles.  Well, it usually is in shambles, but this outlet problem has gave me a reason not to care.  My bed and dresser are squished together in the middle of the room, and under or in between this big mess is the cord/adapter for my camera.  A lovely self portrait of myself rolling out a pie crust is gone for the time being....  This, in addition to a big bag of art supplies that I can't find anywhere, is just plain driving me nuts.  I feel un-organized and I don't like it, so I decided to bring the zen back to my home - today.  This is not another cleaning frenzy, this is more like a put things where they belong kind of clean out.  The idea of organization makes me feel good, like I accomplished something. 

Yesterday, I restored some of the zen to the front of the house.  I got out the power hose and gave the cobwebs and dead gnats left over from summer a good wash down.  Then I decorated the front steps with pumpkins and red leaves and mini scarecrows.  It's all very welcoming and fall looking.  I also cleaned out my car, which lately was kind of gross.  It feels good, to purge and throw away garbage.  It's refreshing.  So dear friends, I leave you for now so that I can drive my girl to school and then I start organizing.  I'll be back later to put up pictures.
