Closet organization is not a weekend activity for me. I do it as a serious project. A few years ago I made it a summer project and spent weeks sorting, taking to Goodwill, and reorganizing what was left. Last year I went from a house with five large closets down to a condo with two bedroom closets and a coast closet in the hallway.

My must have closet accessory is hanger space saver organizers. I group everything into sets of five and assign them to their place on the hanger organizer. When I put the organizers down it creates lots of free space. Every hanger stays the correct distance apart from other hanger so nothing gets cramped and wrinkled.

When I am being OCD, I arrange each hanger by color following the colors of the rainbow.

I feel like I should start chipping away at it, but haven't felt the umph to get started. I know I have tons to purge and it'd feel good once it's done.

Sometimes I gather up everything and take it to the laundromat. I call that turning laundry day into laundry hour. One day I was watching a young man drying his shirts and carefully hanging them on the hanging rack. I was impressed with how organized he was and told him h was going to make a great husband someday.

He said none of his girlfriends could do his laundry right. A man who can keep his clothing organized is a real treasure. I love that you have color coded hangers. I know QJB appreciates you.

Good morning all and Happy Monday,

It was a fun packed, enjoyable weekend. Highlights include a foodie brunch picnic, BBQ & a Bears game at the club, and converting with a very fine dining companion at lunch Saturday.

QOTD- I sleep little so I use some of the time to discover and learn. It could be working towards a goal, satisfy curiosity, or pleasure. I sometimes go down a rabbit hole and have the time to do a deep dive.

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, Tangerine.

L: Gyros meat.

D: lamb chops and green beans, salad.

HW: 371 SW(8/9/21): 324 CW: 215. 0 lbs til goal of skin reduction surgery. I'm still looking for a new plastic surgeon.

Good Morning Queen JB and Menuers,

Congratulations on a great weekend. Mine didn't suck. I did get the Pool closed. YES!!! I promised to make filled Pizzelles for the Wedding on Friday, so Ron and I got about 100 shells done. Now we will need to fill them on Friday before we head to the wedding. To early the shells get soggy. I have a haircut tonight. I got a lot going on this week. Thursday is the day my DB kicks off his Campaign and I will be busy from now till elections in November. I hope he wins so I do not feel defeated at the end of this.

QOTD: Honestly go to the gym. I exercise at 5:30 AM as it is now but if I didn't need to sleep at all, I would join a 24-hour gym and exercise. I would love to if I didn't have to sleep, work and take care of everybody.

Accountability: Not too shabby. Except for a couple Pizzelles that didn't make the cut.

TSS: 5 years 9-month 0-days 160 Lowest (129.4)

Just 1 cup I am not that impressed. I thought it would be bolder with flavor. I'll try it again soon.
