OK, so those of you who know me know that I'm a little tiny bit on the organized side--just a tiny bit, mind you, nothing obsessive or compulsive or full-blown crazy.... Oh, who am I kidding? I may not have clinical OCD, but I definitely like my stuff right where it should be!:) I'm one of those people who derive great joy from an organized closet, hanging files with everything labeled, books arranged by height (not alphabetized as some may argue--height organization is so much more aesthetically pleasing, heehee:). For instance, all the clothes in my closet are arranged by color and it is just divine:)
So, what in the world (you may ask) does this have to do with...anything?! Ah, if you could only see my house right now, then you would understand.... In fact, as soon as I'm done with this rambling post I'm going to go and take some pictures to add into this blog and then you will really understand!
The reason for the chaos is that I am converting our spare bedroom into a studio & office for MLP!!!!!!! If you can't tell, I'm really really excited about this:) Having some studio space will give me a lot more flexibility (for babies, toddlers, and maternity sessions especially!) and it will give me somewhere to put my exponentially-growing collection of equipment (something of which Scott is very much in favor:). The only problem with this plan is that I'm having to deal with the masses of oh-so-important-yet-never-used STUFF that I swear has been breeding in my closets (because we couldn't have amassed all of this STUFF on purpose...right?!? *sigh*).
And as much as I love organization, I also can't bring myself to throw much stuff away (I mean, someday our kids might really like to see their dad's old football jersey...right?). So the ladder to our crawl space has been getting a serious workout. Oh, and did I mention that the light in the crawl space also went on the fritz just at the beginning of this little project. So I grabbed this honkin big flashlight of Scott's thinking "oh, this is why we have this ridiculously big flashlight!" only to have the honkin big flashlight burn out not 5 minutes into this 3-day process (seriously, I couldn't make this stuff up!). So now I'm bumbling my way around the crawl space by the light of a mini flashlight thinking "why did I never think to appreciate the light before it burned out" (and trying not to think about all of the deep connotations that thought has for life in general...whoa).
As if this "project" wasn't ambitious enough, I decided to swap around 3 other closets in our house too (I would try to explain but if I started in on a tour of the craft closet, office closet, spare bedroom closet, and Scott's old closet--and then launched into what moved where and what swapped with what I do believe your eyes would roll into the back of your head...that is, if they haven't already:).
Aaaaannnyyyway, suffice to say I have a huge project on my hands. So why am I wasting my time writing about it? Well, I started this entry when Little Miss was eating breakfast, I pecked at the keys while scarfing down lunch when Little Miss was napping, and now I'm finishing up while everyone else is in bed for the night. And, to be perfectly honest, the thought of posting Before and After pictures is VERY motivating:)
On that note, it is time for me to head to bed but I'll add in pictures tomorrow so you can ooohhhh and aaaahhh over my colossal mess. And let's hope that very soon after that you will be able to ooohhh and aaahhh over my colossal progress when I post my After pics!!:)
