Organized Bliss!

I am having a nail-biting, heart-pounding day today!

I believe that someone broke into our house on several occasions within the last several days, months and years! It is so creepy...I am getting goose-bumps thinking about it!!!

Mark has gotten a new job after 8 years of being a Loan Officer...YAHOO, MARK!!!! I am so proud of him and excited for him! BUT....(I can almost hear the screeching tire breaking sound...oh, never mind I think someone almost missed the stop sign outside again!) ANY WAY. Yippee for Mark, Oh CRAP for me! We are now going to have 2 adults working out of our office in our HOUSE!!!!

OK, back to the Burgular...well, I don't know if you can call him/her that exactly. It would almost be a Burgular-in-reverse!!! I think they broke in and went through our desk drawers and LEFT STUFF!!! There is NO way that I could have accumulated this much...uhhh...CRAP!!!

Post-It Notes...Thank you for leaving those, I just don't think you can EVER have enough of those thingys...I guess they could tell that I really needed and would appreciate them when I use them to decorate my computer screen with them...of course I use them by writing my reminders on them first, I mean PLEASE, we can't just waste things! And can you really imagine a computer screen without all of those beautiful colors...just brightens up my day looking at the rainbow. They may have looked at my desk top also and have been able to see my need for such items...I mean THINK ABOUT IT...how in the world did our parents live without them? Ok, I am starting to relax about the Burgular thing...I mean how can you get upset or press charges over something as kind as that?

I looked in my cubby hole in my desk. (That is so awesome that I have something like that to store things I may need later.) Like the 10 calculators I found in there today. Some of them are my kids, I am sure of that...one is a special Real Estate calculator (that's mine), a couple were EXPENSIVE ones for the kids for Math class...I mean look at me, I didn't need a special one and I seem to have turned out fine. Why did we have to buy special ones??? Just because you spend that extra amount does not mean that you are smarter!!! (That's kind of like buying the weight-loss book that NEVER makes you lose weight, I have the receipt, it should work!!!) Ok, back to the calculators...I can't blame that on the Burgulars-in-reverse...I will look in another drawer.

Pens and Markers...how kind to leave them behind! I am starting to feel like this is Christmas! I really can't say how many Pens and Markers are stashed in each drawer and shelf as well as a couple of cups on top of the desk. (I would count all of them but I don't even know how to turn on those expensive calculators!!!) There will be no problem with Mark and I sharing a desk in this office we definitely have enough papers and pens. This Santa Claus-Burgular-in-reverse must really be looking out for us, knowing that we are so far from supply stores, how helpful is that!!!

Of course, there are a couple of things that I held on to. Duplicate check receipts since 2005, you never know when you will have to look back at those things...I could maybe put them with the Check Registers that I have tucked away since 1995. Oh, dear more work ahead for me!!! I will work on that another day! Another day, another chore, another Blog!!!

That second drawer down on my left seems to be the Memories Drawer! I found 5- 35mm canisters filled with film that hasn't even been developed yet! Never mind the fact that I have been using a digital camera for the last 5 years at least. Then there are the white tennis shoe laces...must have been from a time when the boys could wear shoes for longer than 6 months without outgrowing them or having them rot away from the stench!!! Memories! Eye covers for Tanning Booths, oh, the memory of a tan, I haven't used one of them in at least 3 years...you never know I may try that again someday, better leave them...just in case.

Mark is so lucky to be sharing a desk with me, we are fully equipped for a long time to come with our office supplies...now if I could just find a scissors here...

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the LORD, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the LORD as a reward. It is the LORD CHRIST you are serving. Colossians 3:23-24
