in which i post some photos

I may be officially the worst blogger ever. I got this sweet new computer but I haven't been putting photos on it... finally decided TODAY I SHALL CHANGE MY WAYS. So I loaded a bunch of sweet photos on the ol' lappy, some of which I will tickle your fancies with now, and stay tuned for many future photo-laden posts. (I can almost feel your anticipation.)

Let us start at the very ending, shall we? Today I didn't have tutoring, so I was to spend the day studying. Instead, I decided to tackle the evil stack o' papers in the Spare Oom. These papers are my nemesis. I consider myself a fairly clean person, and usually attack clutter in the main rooms on an "un dia si, un dia no" (every other day) basis. However, Spare Oom is a land less navigated by both visitors and me, so the evil stack kept growing. Plus I think filing papers is my #1 Most Hated Task. (What's yours?) But I subscribe to this organizational email which encouraged me to tackle paper daily, and though I am no Leah Claire, I figured it was time to attack the demon.

THE DEMON:

A closer look: this is seriously several months of papers I need to file

So I was fairly motivated. I think I lasted all the way through Losing it with Jillian and partway through another show before my four year old brain got distracted by the sunshine outside and I decided it was time to soak in my daily vitamin D and repaint my toenails. (Do not you love this color? It is Sally Hansen Salon Nail Lacquer in "Orange You Cute?") I tried my fingernails as well, but, as usual, my impatience resulted in severe smudging. Gah. Curse my metal body! (5 points to whoever identifies the source of that quote.)


So here I am buried in the below jumble of papers. I have to go through about 2 years' worth of old papers and pull out what is now irrelevant, replace with new irrelevant papers, and shred like a million trees. Ugggghhh. Why can't everything be paperless? FILING IS MY ENEMY.

[Aside: Whilst I was constructing this post, I was summoned to an HOA meeting at our complex, during which I was voted secretary. That's what I get for answering the door. Heh.]

And now, signing off, your newly-committed-to-blogging-with-interesting-photos friend,

You crack me up... and your "to file" pile doesn't even compare to mine! I feel like it's taking over my life!

I miss your toes. And nose. I don't suppose, erroneously. I'll give you roses. I'm nothing like Moses. Sorry, the air is thick here and I think its getting to my head.

i totally should have read this post the other day when I first saw it in my reader. Then I would have been the one with the 5 points! Darn.

you are a kick! I tackled my pile finally a week ago or so. I wanted yard work done and so ryan said, "You like the outside to look nice, and I like there to be no piles around the house of papers." So, he got his way (and I mine, kind of) and he did yard work while I filed away papers. Still working on the shredding thing. I pile it on top and Ryan ends up dealing with it when it starts falling off. Oh and love the nail polish color. I have something similar that is my favorite!

I tried to find the polish. Fail, fail, fail. I will just covet your toes from afar.
