Your DH looks like fun. I'm picturing Ms. Beautifully Chic with Mr. Rock and Roll.
It is so romantic when couples let each other be themselves.

Thank you. He has a great sense of humor and laid back approach to things.
I'm feeling so proud of myself. This morning I woke up and determined that my things needed to be "put away". I've been so lazy/demotivated/busy/stressed for a while now, that gradually, every horizontal surface was piled up with 'stuff' and it has seemed overwhelming and unwelcoming.
I figured it would take me an hour to put everything away. Starting is half the journey for me, and I knew I'd start puttering around and take my time doing it, and right enough once I got started I even cleaned out my kitchen pantry cabinet (yes, just one).
Soup cans expiring in 2014? Gone!! 3 jars of olives from 2015? Yep! And who knew I had five half used bags of pasta!
I even sorted my yarn stash - one shoe box of scraps for previous projects, 1 big bag of ongoing projects, one of my stash, and one large bag of dead projects.
Entry way table and key tray cleaned out. Coffee table is clear.
Laundry has been put away - gosh, I have a lot of clothes. I even tossed some old items into my donate pile.
It feels really good.

You go Genie. It feels so good to be organized. I never seem to catch up. Filing is my nightmare.
For my personal stuff, I do an annual filing but it's been three years since I've done one. In the interim I have a sturdy paper bag that I put my 'to be filed' items. It ends up being sequential as I put newer items in the front.
I also follow a similar basic system for my office filing. Then when we are slow around Xmas, I hand the box over to my admin to sort and put into the filing cabinet. That's when I also cycle out the older papers out for storage.
If someone needs to refer to a current year invoice or payment, they just have to drill down to that month.
It's about as efficient as I can get, given my limited resources.

If my spirit continues on Monday, I may also clear up my office. Would be nice to see the colour of my desk. This one has been buried since about March 2016.
Oh yeah. When I hit the desk or table surface, I call it striking dirt (as in ground) or real estate. Always so satisfying.
Genie, you are motivating me! I need to do some organizing and especially some discarding to the consignment shop pile.
LOL!! I cleaned up my office desk Wednesday when I was forced by IT folks to upgrade my computer system. What work can you get done without a computer these days? I might as well clean up the nearly unbearable desk corners and underneath.
