In case you missed it. Not sure how you could as I have been talking about this for weeks, but okay. 
I have been participating in a contest sponsored by 3M Command Hooks. The contest ended yesterday with my video/commercial submittal. The winners are chosen by March 6th — until then — enjoy the video! 
We all have a weakness in our organizing system. Im not afraid to say that I strive for perfectly organized. I am a slight perfectionist — or maybe saying I am meticulous is a better way to put it. I get it honest — I get it from my Momma! {Hey Mom, <3 you!}
But … with that said … I have 2 organizational weaknesses.
1) My home office
2) Beauty products.
This is NOT my office BTW - but inspiration
It is so hard for me to find the right system in my home office. Bullentin boards for inspiration — how do I keep up with project ideas — paper or electronic — do I need another table because my desk aint that big! Another reason why I struggle here is investing money in “equipment”. I will be moving in a few months and it is hard for me to investment in more office furniture when I know that the set up will be different soon. Yet I want it all to magically work NOW!
And makeup and beauty products. My oh my. The #1 problem here is coupons. Yes, coupons. I can usually get these products pretty cheap because of blasted coupons and sales. It is hard to pass up another bottle of shampoo when the total cost is $0.50. I took inventory of my shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and body washes a few months back. I was bad — I had 10 bottles of shampoo, and its only me! I dont have 5 heads of hair to wash on a daily basis! I had to stop. But then there is the makeup. You know, the kind that is old (like 2 years old) and in a really unflattering color (’80′s blue eyeshadow). Yea those — well I have a hard time throwing these things away. I dont like the makeup! In fact, I only wear Mary Kay now! So it should go in the trash — but it doesnt. *Sigh* Somewhere deep inside I want to wear it until it is all gone. Get my moneys worth! All while looking silly in blue eyeshadow and teal eyeliner. And in case you were wondering — no I am not the kind of gal that can pull that off!
Good Grief — what is your organizational weakness?
Until next time…
1. I think Raymond is one of the funniest people I know
2. I like watching Raymond play pool.
3. That pool league is extremely organized!
4. Is it bad that I was more interested in the organization of the league than Raymond playing pool?
5. Do you ever feel bad when you are tired?
6. I feel like a party pooper — and it might be a Tuesday!
7. I wish I could be one of those people who run on 4 hours of sleep.
8. Or what about those people that thrive on always having something to do or a place to go.
9. I like being at home.
10. Im pretty sure that is called a “home body”.
11. That sounds bad — makes me sound old.
12. Im always fascinated by how fast time goes.
13. Time as currency — interesting to think about.
14. How do you spend your currency — your time?
15. I cry too much — like all the time — specifically when Im watching movies or shows
16. I cried when Adele won Album of the Year. Really?!
17. I cry when I watch movies.
18. Yep all movies
19. Well not scary ones.
20. I hope Im not weird.
Until next time…
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you are gearing up for a fabulous weekend! Im trying to prepare myself for a busy next couple of …weeks!
This weeks Foodie Friday post is … Green Pizza! Borrowed from my wonderful friend, Lauren Nix. Thank you Lauren — this was the best lunch ever! *Picture is different than recipe – but it looked yummy*
(1) Tortilla wrap (soft taco tortilla)
(1 TBSP) Pesto .. or more to taste
(1/2 CUP) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
(1/2 CAN) Rotel
Chicken, cooked
This is my new go-to lunch recipe. It was uh-mazing! I honestly could have eaten four of them!
Until next time…
Pinterest has shot to the social media stage over the past few months! It is still difficult to effectively state what the purpose of Pinterest is; however, for me, the purpose is to organize my ideas and inspirations for organizing projects, home decorating, and cooking projects. These inspirations live online and are found online. I have a similar system for inspiration ideas that I find in magazines {they live in binders}. Each Pinterest board is full of ideas that I come across from either other Pinners or found online while browsing.
I would love to follow you in your Pinning journey. In the Comment section — submit a link to your Pinterest “home page”.

Another blogger that I follow wrote an article this week about Pinterest as well. She talked about how to use and organize your Pin boards. If you are interested, read the article here.
Until next time…

This idea came from another blogger. But the randomness is all mine.
1. Sunrises are my favorite. Best way to start the day.
2. I rush to the coffee pot each morning.
3. I think Im addicted to coffee.
4. Im not on the K-Cup Keurig Bandwagon.
5. Speaking of bandwagons — Im also not on the E-Reader bandwagon.
6. I need to read more. Where is my Steve Jobs book? I think Im still on Chapter 1.
7. What day is it? Man these weeks fly by!
8. I dont watch local news. If it bleeds it leads…I find it depressing.
9. I love watching Live with Kelly.
10. I kinda miss Regis.
11. Speaking of watching stuff — I need more RH of BH (Real Housewives of Beverly Hills).
12. What a reunion — 3 parts?! Really?!
13. Yes I like reality tv.
14. One show that I dont watch: The Amandas. 
It doesnt accurately dipict organizing projects.
15. That makes me sad. It changes peoples perceptions of what we do.
16. Adele! I listen to Pandora throughout the day — she just came on — she is my fave!
17. Speaking of faves — I love Sarah Michelle Gellar! Buffy was my fave show ever!
18. I used to spend hours in my room trying to make my hair look like hers.
19. I was 16. I had nothing better to do.
20. My mind bounces around more than a ping pong ball!
21. Am I the only one that feels this way?
22. I need more coffee.
23. I wish Starbucks & Caribou had more coupons!
24. Im addicted to Pinterest.
25. Very bad way to spend waste the day. I need to be more productive.
