I'm having an extremely relaxing 4th of July weekend so far, but that's mostly due to the fact that I got sick on Friday with some weird stomach flu type thing that got me feeling exhausted and dizzy all day and all night for the past three days.
My mom, being the mom that she is, went through this crazy frenzy today, flipping the house up-side-down in an attempt to trash unnecessary items that have been clogging up the place for years now.
I decided to finally relent to her wishes and took on the massive task that I had avoided in years - cleaning out my desk drawers.
This shows how terrible my first drawer looked before the clean-out began --->
The other drawers were as bad, if not worse. I don't know how I ever let it get to this point, but I found some interesting memories while exploring through the junk. I found many movie ticket studs, an old high school schedule, various random memos...once again I thought, "wow, how quickly things change..."
And after about two hours of organizing and throwing out stuff...my desk looked like this:
And the first drawer turned into something more useful and appropriate for my life at this time:
A place for my early morning scramble with make-up!
People are still setting off fireworks right now, and it's making me jump constantly. I wonder what our security guards are doing right now...they never seem to be there when these things happen (or maybe they're out celebrating themselves...)
