There are a few things on the ends, like Christmas decorations, that I can get to easily. And the stuff on the very outside ends belong to mum. But I'm really letting my J-ness go wild here, and organising like mad. It's a refreshing feeling.

Some Done
This is the utility closet off the garage, where I'm putting the things that are truly keepsakes and won't need to be unpacked if and when I move. Things like old Barbies and Strawberry Shortcake dolls, baby clothes and stuffed animals.

Work in Progress
I have a lot of stuff.
I guess it depends on what you're judging by. I just unloaded and unpacked some of all the bunches and bunches and bunches of stuff my sister and her family have, and was totally overwhelmed by it all. Too. Much. Stuff! So here at mom's, I have a lot of stuff. Not that much, compared to Jen, but still. Boxes and boxes and boxes. I'm trying to sort it and repack to keep or give away and just see what I've really got-- mostly it's books, surprise, surprise.
Here's a look at it in action-- I take a box or three from the garage, and open it. Then I sort the contents into other boxes: Christmas, same genre books, kitchen goods, Goodwill. It's a big project, but I'm a J. I like to be organised. And I want to know what I've got when I grab a box, so I'm making lists of what is in every single one. That way, if I ever get to move somewhere into my own place again, I'll know what to take first, and what all I have.
Plus, it's good busy-work to keep my mind off other things.

Pro Packer
I've done a lot of packing and organising in my life. I've moved a lot, and I just can't stand things being disorganised for very long. So Jen was lucky to have me around to do the dirty work and heavy lifting.
This was my initial work in getting the boatloads of stuff from the hotel into the car to move to the house. We added more later, not to mention the other car... but I'm good. We only had to make one more trip, and for fitting three months of hotel life (including Christmas!) into two trips? I should be a professional organiser.

Things I Don't Get
So that could be a very long list... but today's entry is this:
Why, if you are going to use all the same buns for every burger you make, can you not then make the burgers all the same width so they at least fit on the bun? I mean, seriously, McD's. I don't like that half my burger hangs off the bun. Especially when y'all are so sloppy in putting them together that it also means half of the ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions are always ALSO half off the bun. Thanks for nothing, cheap-skates.

Aleph- Bet
Yes, I am a very solid J.
I spent a good chunk of the day reorganising my dvds. I like them in alphabetical order, so I can find what I want quickly. With dvds, I just put them ALL in order, with no sub-categories. Unlike with my books. Those are a different story all together. But since I had bought/been given quite a few more dvds since the last time I had alphabatised them, I decided it was more than due. Ahhhhhh. Makes me feel more right with the world, when everything is in order.
