SO....

Soooooooo

Where have I been?

I wish that these were mine packed in

 anticipation for a lovely getaway,

or better still a move across the country.

Alas, they are a mere symbol of the all

too common house switcheroo, 

occurring all too often here in lala land.

A dear friend rented a home a little more

 than a year ago,only to have it go into foreclosure

 a few months ago, forcing her to find another.

The stars aligned and the neighbors across the street,

decided to exit their home, 
as well as their marriage unfortunately, 
and the home became available for my pal to rent. 

So for the past four days we have been hauling, 
carrying, driving, toting, wheeling, dragging and dollying

hundreds upon hundreds of boxes etc across the street.

In 110 heat

With humidity

We had 4 somewhat reluctant, high school

football players for a few hours for the big stuff.

Mostly they buzzed around her beautiful 

cheerleader daughter, and hid whenever 

they saw me coming. lol
Thank you so much guys, you saved a
couple of gals from suffering major pain.
I offered to write a note to their coach
 saying they had worked hard and could skip practice.
That got a laugh.

We are in the home stretch today.

Being the organized dictator that I am,

all the small stuff came across in stages,

 the rest being staged in the garage,

with the result of an uncluttered space

at the end of each day so the family could relax.

Everything in my pal's home has now been put 

away exactly where it belongs in a neat 

and orderly fashion.
Moving is the perfect opportunity to get it 
all done, even though most people would think
it would be more difficult.
Of course having an organizer on hand helps a little.

She is too exhausted to be thrilled quite yet,

 but I am delighted for her.

I know first hand how having an

organized and orderly home can 

affect your day to day living, and this is one
great, and very busy Mom who deserves
a beautiful space.


I have several new clients signed up on
a slower paced, discounted plan and I am
thrilled to be working with some new gals.
Very late into the night I am in the studio
preparing the sample for my 
Gathering class October 8.
There are 2 more seats available, and 
a few sneak peeks coming soon.
If you are out of the area
 but within driving distance, 
and wish to attend the class, 
there are accommodations available.
email for info.
Soooooo.....


Sore aching feet, tired arms, lack of sleep,
friendship and creativity.
All in a woman's week.
What have you been doing?
