So here was the deal. My mission for the day was to completely redo my  bedroom, which is a MESS. It’s cluttered, I have zero storage, no closet, too-large pieces of furniture, stuff stacked on every flat surface, wedged into every little space, and since I live in Manhattan (on the street level), there’s a general coating of grime that creeps in no matter what I do. There’s one large armoire, one large chest, two desks, a queen-sized bed, a built-in bookcase. And a little bit of floorspace. My desk has a bookcase above it, and there’s stuff stacked on the desk, on top of the bookcase. It’s awful.

On my desk were my newest yarn purchases, and I paused to fondle them for a bit — like you do, you know. I looked around at the leftover balls of yarn stuffed in between books, and got my brilliant idea: I know! I can’t really start working on our bedroom until I do something with all. this. yarn. Right?

So I pulled it all out, photographed many of the surprises I found, updated my stash page on ravelry, organized, weighed the partial skeins, numbered the plastic bins where I store all the yarn, and noted the specific bin on each ravelry stash page. OH DON’T I FEEL ALL RIGHTEOUS! If you’re a raveler, you can see my stash page here. You know how wonderful it feels to get everything all organized. Especially when it allows you to avoid doing something you really don’t want to do.   On that note, I think I’d better go clean the kitchen, you know, it’s a mess and I’ll be able to focus on our bedroom once that kitchen is cleaned.

Sushi tonight with DD#3. Tulips delivered at work from DD#1. Nice phone chat with DD#2 this afternoon, with a promise of another chat tomorrow – and a phone chat with DD#1, too. It’s a lovely Mother’s Day weekend.
