so i’m reporting to you from the official ‘no mess no stress organizing boot camp’ booth at NAPO 2012 conference in b’more, md. it’s been a heck of a ride and i’m looking forward to drinks with my rubbermaid crew later this eve. while i have had a hard time getting away from my booth to check out all the other great exhibitors, wanda, from golden age living stopped by to show off her wares. she happens to have created a password protected and encrypted flash drive that’s a bracelet, no less. you can order your fave color and give as a gift or keep for yourself (i know i would). i like this idea because flash drives are particularly small and happen to disappear quite easily. and who wants to wear a flash drive laniard? not me.
my friend fay is a trifecta of awesomeness. she’s a professional organizer (that’s how i know here) but she is just as equally talented as a musician and actor (i know). she recently combined two of these talents to produce, write and act in; order, she wrote. fay is hilarious in this short with emily deschanel (of bones fame) co-starring. seriously. it’s a peek into the organizing world with a comedic spin. enjoy!
i have not always had to keep track of my ” time of the month” and i can tell you that i’m pretty awful at keeping tabs on it. not only do i not look forward bloating and cramps, it’s nothing i want to note in my calendar. but just like anything else that comes due, if you forget about it, you’re IN TROUBS (as my friend alexis likes to say). so you can imagine my delight when a friend told me about The Cycles Page. it’s more or less for ladies who are looking to track their fertility cycle but guess what… it also tracks your monthlies. last month was the first month i used it and this past week, i got an email 3 days before… now that’s something to shout about.

ahhhh. remember mac monday’s? we’d wax poetic on all things mac (such simpler times). well, i just found this artwork via unpluggd. this totally could have been the poster child for mac mondays, no?!
this past saturday we held another organizing boot camp where participants ‘shred or go home.’ this particular class really nailed it and purged tons of old paperwork that had been weighing them down. one student, donna, really rocked my world with her before and after pic of her box of paperwork. she even labeled the pic for me with ‘before & after’—a gal after my own heart. i also recognized that someone with this type of photo skills and the smarts to take pics of her progress probably has a rad blog (and she does). donna waxes poetic on all things food—a subject i’m happy to take pointers on. for starters, she executes a mexican grilled corn side dish that i’ll be experimenting with once summer rolls around. until then, you might find me in south pasadena at pappa rich; donna swears by their warm buns filled with butter. buttahhhhh!!
ps; our next paper organizing boot camp is saturday, may 7th. sign up to shred or go home!
