D-Day

It has arrived.

The most epic Saturday of my life so far.

Not really.

But still.

Today, I set out to finish drivers' ed and overhaul my closet.

All in the same day.

Wow.

And you get to come along on the crazy-exciting journey, with moment by moment updates from yours truly.

Ready?

Let the to-do list crossing off begin!

9:21 AM
Eating two sausage biscuits and preparing to start. I'm going to try and get a bunch of the DE workbook done first, then I'm moving on to the closet. I've gathered lots of books and magazine pictures of gloriously clean closets to inspire me. I think it's working.

10:42 AM
I have completed one chapter of my DE workbook and I've started on the next. I took a look at my closet, and noted that none of my inspirational closet photos picture cruddy wire hangers. I text my Mom and ask her to pay me for last night's babysitting in plastic hangers from Target.

12:35 PM
I dive into my closet head-first and attack the bulky and currently un-affective rubbermaid drawer units; I discover that I'm going to need some storage, but since buying a dresser is totally out of the question (I'm on a babysitter's salary, here), I'll have to get ... *shudders* ... creative. Good thing I've got a few of these yummy Cinnabon bars to keep my energy up.

3:36 PM
I am really tired of going through stuff by now. I would quit, but there's stuff all over my room. The good news, though, is that now I start putting stuff back in; I think I can be done in an hour if I work fast!

4:45 PM
Okay, so I'm not done. One more hour, probably. I'm at the most boring part now; the closet itself is clean but all the stuff I took out of it is all over my room waiting to be sorted and carted off. I see the light at the end of the tunnel...

6:51 PM
I'm done! Finally! All that's left to do is take clothes to good will/my favorite resale store and figure out what to do with the leftover organizing things (baskets, a shoe rack, etc). Now I get to just relax and enjoy my beautiful, spotless closet! Maybe I'll post some before/after photos... though to be honest, the middle is what nearly did me in.
