Method to the Madness

Sometimes when work and life start blending together and the errands and to-do's get piled up, I embark on an organizing frenzy.  I wake up in the morning and neurotically go about cleaning, sorting and giving everything the once-over.  In the end, there are always more things I'd like to keep than I'm willing to throw away.  And, unfortunately, there are more things left out-of-place (I'd like to think only temporarily) than things put in-place.

I've been eying these ridiculously overpriced organizers from Potter Barn since last year.

Can you imagine living in a world where you can find everything you're looking for?

It'd look something like this:

Linen Pinboard:  $54.00
24" Display Rod:  $20.00
HDTV Component:  Special at $499.00

............ well.

For now, I guess I'll have to stick with my free mental index for my mess.
