organizing

well i've never been the most organized person in the world but i've always admired those who had the time to even organize their homes and make it pretty! i've always thought about that TIME problem that everyone has. I am currently in school and working full time (or the full time they allow me to work which is 30hrs...boo) so I never have TIME to do anything, so I say. But of course i have time to watch netflix or tv x] SO ive been obsessed with Pinterest lately and Blog lovin' with all their wonderful organization posts! and I was reading one of my favorite organization blogs called "I Heart Organization" and she posted a quote from one of her favorite bloggers, dont remember the name of that blog, and it was about organizing and time. she explains that the reason why she organizes, even if it takes so much time to do, is so she wont waste time later looking for whatever she needs. All of us waste time looking for that something that we remember putting somewhere but isnt there anymore, which is SUPER annoying. So i have decided to start organizing certain areas in my house (i am currently living with my mom and bro). my first project ever was the "junk drawer' in the kitchen which my mom & i totally trashed out and organized with tiny boxes. it has so far stayed like that for quite some time so i've been very happy about that. and that has motivated me to organize other parts & rooms in my house, yay! 

TODAY I plan to kick-off the organization train in my garage! We have a huge garage, so huge that we have split it in half- a couple living on one side and the other half is ours for storage. But when ever we open it, it stinks and looks like a disaster so we have to close it right away. my mom has attempted to organize it once, and it worked for about a month. our family travels, and camps a lot so we take things out and back in a lot. and it's always a pain to look for something we need and climb over other things to find something. which is why i plan to start organizing it today! I will post some pictures of before and after sometime in the future.

have a good day!

New Year calls for a new blog!~

ok, not really, it's still the same blog name & blog person, me, but it's technically a new blog cuz it'll actually have posts for you to read! :) some may wonder why I would want to write so much when my Literature major expects me to write 5-6 pages once a month already haha good question, but one of the many goals for the year of 2013 is to blog more often ~

the cousin & I - Wendy at Don't Lose a Moment - have been following a couple of new blogs since the start of this new year - 12 days & counting - that have inspired us to blog & blog & blog! The blogs I am following all share moments of their lives, special projects, & anything & everything. Many blogs I've read have mentioned that the reason to blog is to do exactly that. To share special moments in your life you want to remember later in life. I love that idea because I have a bad memory & I later want to look back at all my fun, happy moments. So here's to a new year and posting more! *cheers*

I am so excited to use this somewhat as a diary, no, journal sounds more adult ;) I will mostly share about my days at work with awesome coworkers
             at school learning about Literature and other interesting topics
             at church gaining more and more of the Lord
             & with family who I couldn't live without :)

so let us beginnnnn

My  name is Leslie, middle name is Josephine, as you might have guessed. & today is January 12th 2013, as you already might know....

I am currently recovering from a cold, I like to say, because I am able to breathe  through both my nostrils - yes!-  I am stuck in my room at the moment. My brother has friends over & I don't intend to have them see me in the sick mess that I am right now...


Today I will probably stay home all day because I would like to clean for tomorrow's college meeting here at my house. I loove cleaning...I have never said. But one of my goals for this new year is to get clean & organized & stay that way! I've been reading lots of blogs on how to stay organized & get organized! I am loving it so far!
My first project of the year was my work desk. It was a huge disaster! I had papers in drawers from 2008-2009! How crazy & lazy is that?! One day I decided to look through some of the folders & THROW AWAY (recycle) papers I didn't need anymore! It felt soooo awesome! so I couldn't stop there. I continued to a different folder until I cleaned out the whole drawer of papers I didn't need. So then I moved on to the papers I had on my desk & organized those too. I have been loving going to work this past week, except for the fact that I was sick & wish I was in bed.

My next project is my room....TUN TUN TUN. I am rarely in my room. I love hanging out with my mom & chatting with her about everything - she's my best friend & I love her so dearly! So I'm only in my room at night with the lights off on my phone or Nook, & in the morning getting ready for the day. If there's a mess, I usually don't see it. BUT from now on, I want to be clean & organized, like I've mentioned. So my next mini project is my closet! I have shoes I don't wear anymore and clothes I've forgotten about, so I will clean that out! so excited ~ just gotta start...oneday.

I think that's all for today...enough writing for one day. Hope you all have a great weekend!

ttyl,

Leslie Josephine
