In an attempt to be *gasp* organized.

In an attempt to be *gasp* organized.

I've resolved to "get my shit together" for 2010. Expletive, I know, a bit harsh. That's what it takes with this stubborn cookie. Swear words.

For the first time since I physically left the confines of my home to work, I purchased a ridiculously over-sized cork board that now sits proudly above my desk. Right smack in front of my mug. I'm thankful it is in no way, shape or form reflective. Daily work attire/appearance: greasy and homeless.

Now I have this thing. Staring at me blankly (pun totally intended).

I snazzed it up with some of the badrillion push pins I own. Yes, I own an excessive number of push pins and no cork board until this past weekend. I dangerously hang home decor on them when I'm not convinced a hammer and nail are required like the instructions say. I'm edgy like that. Furthermore, is it just an unseasoned homebody thing or does everyone else call them thumb tacks?? Husfriend gave me the funkiest expression when I asked him to "Grab me a push pin. I want to hang this air freshener above Nugget's bed." Apparently I was speaking the Japanese I've always longed to learn. Fancy that.

The next step, and mind you, this may be the only step for a few weeks days whilst I get used to having this thing, was to add a small calendar for bill due dates. I'm a visual person. I also tend to keep information on small post it size pieces of paper that I also tend to lose. Frequently. Then I go into crisis mode. For being one who used to cater to the organization of others' lives, I seem to have lost my groove. Hey universe! Stella wants it back.

P.S. Stella is me but just for the purpose of my obscure reference. I'm Jess again. You're welcome.

I could have settled for a Krazy Kitties or Beaches of the World calendar. They would have all been so unnecessarily large and obnoxious though. I figured I'd dip my curious tootsies into the House of 3 world. That digital scrapbook kit business is all the rage. I'm an if-I-don't-have-to-get-out-of-the-car-then-sign-me-up kinda gal, so download-and-print is right up my cyber alley.

I bought and printed these awesome postcard size calendars and if you're trying your darndest to get your shit together in 2010, I suggest you do the same. Plus the proceeds benefit Nourish the Children. Double whammy.

So I've got my cork board, my push pins, my mini-calendars, and a few coupons that I am sure are burning a hole right through my new piece of decor...furniture...to whatever the cork board is referred.
