The Musings of the Absolutely Fabulous Ms. N.

Where do I start? My office is moving to a new location and I have been tagged at the moving coordinator. So I have been dealing with movers, upper management and my own staff to try to make this move as seamless as possible. Tomorrow the movers are showing up (hopefully on time) so this time tomorrow I will be at a new desk.

This weekend is our annual SuperBowl party. We have a few friends coming over and some of my cousins are coming down from the city. SO I have lots of cleaning and preparing to do. Now that we actually have a dining room set I can lay everything out nice and pretty :)

That's all for now.

GO GIANTS!

Most mornings I am a mess. I am still so groggy from sleep that I usually cant decide what I am going to wear to work. And what I want to wear to work is usually too wrinkled or dirty. Because I am in a time crunch what I have started doing is scheduling a week's worth of outfits. No, I don't have OCD (at least I don't think I do). So far I have done this for two weeks and it has worked really well. During Michael's (craft store) after Xmas sale I picked up some nifty weekly calendars that have magnetic backs. I have one on our fridge that tells everyone what the week's meals are and I use one for my outfit planning. I have two casual days so I can wear jeans and then I plan three work-appropriate outfits. That seemed more manageable for me. The Sunday before the workweek I pick out my clothing, iron and put in a stack in my closet so I can easily fish it out. The planning ahead also gives me a chance to see exactly what I own and cycle thru stuff.

Here are some pics of the new pantries. I forgot to take before pics but trust me it was a mess. The first pic is the older pantry now re-organized. The 2nd is the former coat closet. K and I pulled out all the old hardware and I sanded and repainted the inside.
