Behold, mine house is a house of order.......


... OK so it looks much more like the image but I think my New Year's resolution will be to tackle that phenomenal task of ridding myself of all the "treasures" that we have collected in 29 yrs. of marriage. How did we manage it while we were moving around on various PCS's while in the USCG? We are right now in the midst of remodeling our master bedroom & bath so things are a little of out of place but my excuses for not setting our house in order will soon come to an end and I will have to get organized. I don't want to recommended for the TV Show "Hoarders" though Mark would be an excellent candidate since his favorite word is, if there is such a word, mandovillans (sp?), bits and pieces that may or may not someday become useful again. 'Cause you never know when or if you'll need that burnt out light bulb or rusty nail or screw again. He evens hangs on to the spark plugs that he replaces. Why? Will they become new again sitting around on the workbench until next time they need replacing?
In all fairness I have my share of junk lying around with hopes of starting or finishing a project. We all have a junk drawer, but we have two and they are not small. Mark says I like to collect pens, pencils etc. Then when he needs one they don't work or are sharpened. Go figure. Anyway here's to all New Year's Day resolutions and may they come to light. :0
