April showers, Organizing & Friday Feast

Here's looking at YOU!

One gift of the day is the most welcomed and needed RAIN! Hurrah and Thank You Lord not just for the rain but for the quiet rain that's feeding a thirsty land. We're heading into a drought situation in southwest Virginia and rain is number one on both my needs and wants list.

Thank You, Lord, thank You.

I'm devoting a lot of today to cleaning and straightening some of the house, certainly not all of the house...that's an insane idea!  No need to overdo. The office desperately needs organizing and what I've usually done in the past is "read" about organizing and then didn't have time left over to actually organize. I'm changing tactics...today I'm writing a blog entry...no more of that procrastination in *reading* about doing it...I'm going to actually THINK about doing it! (By now, you're supposed to either be laughing or nodding in agreement.)

By a show of hands...how many of you do similarily? Bold confession time --- I've always thought of extremely organized people as "is there a hyphen in anal rentative?" but you know what? I'm a disorganized, pack rat slob and am sitting up and heeding the advice of organized folks. They have a LOT to say that's useful and needed in this household. Dave is -gasp, shudder- even more disorganized than I and that makes for a highly dangerous and flammable situation.

"Honey, do you know where to find _____? (fill in the blank) "Nope, but let me help you look" and then we both spend a tee total waste of time looking for something that should have its own little nesting place.

So, after having answered the Friday Five I'm off the computer and getting a bit more organized. Although, to paraphrase Alice, "how can one get a bit more organized when one isn't organized at all?"  Blast that girrrrlll's smartness!

Friday Feast:

Appetizer - salty snacks unless I'm craving chocolate and then I'm flexible

Soup - no board games, thanks. I prefer spinning, knitting and weaving.

Salad - painted background of lovely jeweled earth tones

Main course - oxymoron because I like the way it sounds

Dessert - barefoot in house, moccasins for town errands and boots for barn/farm chores

God's blessings on you, yours and the work of your hands.
