Recent randomness

I'm losing my mind. Two examples to prove my case:

-Last week I took the garbage out for our Thursday garbage day- on Thursday night.

-The week before that I spent 20 minutes putting my contacts in and one eye would go blurry every time I put the contact in. After freaking out that I was going blind, I decided to take them out and when I did I realized that I had put both contacts into one eye- hence the blurriness.

Continuing on with other randomness:

-crunchy Cheetos have been tasting delicious to me the past few days.

-we didn't dye Easter eggs but we still can't go without our egg salad sandwiches.

-I want to be at the beach so bad right now- in spite of my never beach ready body.

-I have hit a wall with sewing. I want to do it so much but when I sit down to start working on something it takes so long to prep it that I never actually get to the sewing part.

-We have watched the first 3 Harry Potter movies since Saturday night which basically means we have to finish the rest of them now. (no complaints here).

-Saturday night I almost bought a cute navy blue & white polka dot dress. It was marked wrong at $20 so I decided to get it and have a cute dress for church. When they told me it was $40, I didn't get it because I was mad they didn't honor the $20 price. But I kind of still want it...

-We tried a new restaurant in town for lunch on Friday (huHot) and went back on Monday night with friends.  We may or may not have plans to go back this Friday with some other friends also. Let's just hope they don't recognize us.

Organization

This week is my week of organizing. Remember how I'm working on balance this year, Kristen?

Over the weekend I organized my craft room and today I organized my sewing patterns into it's very own binder.

 
Not long ago I went to Staples with some of my rewards and a bunch of the Martha Stewart office stuff was on clearance.  I wish I would have bought more, but I grabbed the items I could justify at the time- including this cute red binder.

I printed some pages on cardstock as my dividers and used these cute Smash tabs to make my dividers.

 

The goal for this week was to take a room a day and organize it, but that hasn't happened so far.
Although I did start working on a family "command" area where we can keep the things we need. Currently we have a calendar with the monthly events, as well as baskets for our "dump" area so we can at least keep things contained. (so far only Jake has one and I can't find  good baskets for this area anywhere in Logan).  The plan is that by at least designating it as your area to empty our pockets or put whatever you need that it will help other areas stay tidy. We will see...
 
Still to come- a family organization binder and a better picture without the night-time shadows. :)

 Since my kitchen cabinets end right to the left of this and I am out of cabinet space, I would really like to find a cool hutch/shelf I can put in this area and use for all of my pretty dishes. But for now, I'm going to utilize it as I can until that happens. And adjust when necessary.
