Organizing Tip #1 and #2

For those of you that know me well, know that I am a VERY organized person. Being organized makes my life much less stressful and gives me a feeling of acomplishment. I promised in a previous post that I would start posting organizational tips on my blog this year along with the other random shit I seem to come up with. Today is your lucky day.....

Tip#1
For all of you out there addicted to various blogs like I am, Google Reader is not only a time saver but a life saver. No more wasting time visiting blogs that haven't been updated and I can organize them any way I want to. I can't even begin to tell you how much time I've saving since discovering this little gem.

Google Reader

If you aren't utilizing this genius tool, you must have a whole lotta time to spare!

Tip#2
I just discovered this online organizational tool the other day and am still playing around with it, but I like what I've seen so far.

Delicious

I actually had the energy last night to put away 80% of what I dragged along with me to the Night Owls Winter Retreat last weekend which BTW I haven't blogged about because it's taken me 5 freaking days to recuperate from my late late nights BOTH nights...lol...jesus, I remember when I could pull all nighter and then still go to a physically demanding job the next day...getting older is a bitch!...but I digress...

Last weekend was so much fun! The ladies who put this on do such a good job and have fun things for us to do. They also do a silent auction and this year, the reciepient of the proceeds was the National Ovarian Foundation, which of course is an organization dear to my heart because this potentially devastating disease is what took my mother almost three years ago. My friend, Joellyn is an ovarian cancer survivor and is doing great! It was my pleasure to give some of my money to this organization in honor of both of these women.

I finished 17 pages, which is a personal best for me when scrapbooking outside of my room. I must have had my groove thing going...

Got to see lots of faces that I don't regularly see and it's always a pleasure to see Janalee from Utah. Sweet William, the newborn son of my friend Cheri was a perfect angel. He didn't run me out of his room Saturday night, in fact, when he did wake up to be fed, all I did was open one eye, realize that "Hey, I don't have to deal with that" and fell promptly back to sleep....lol

Oh! Pizza's here......so I'm outta here
