I stopped at the Container Store today after another errand. It was my first time and I was apprehensive. I wandered the aisles for awhile, looking for useful things and trying to think about our storage needs. I was afraid it was going to be ridiculously expensive, but all together everything was only forty bucks.
Last week Andy got two brand new, identical monitors for his desk, and he gave me his widescreen. So now I use that as my main monitor, and my old, regular-sized one as the second. To fit the two monitors, I had to get rid of an IKEA dokument. I spent some time going through all the paper that had collected in two of the trays, using expandable folders leftover from my teaching days. I used one of them to collecting the growing pile of paperwork associated with all of the business stuff. That folder is now on the top right shelf for easy access/drop-in. The top level of the tray collected an assortment of trinkets and things, and some of them I put away and some of it I still don't have a home for. Nor do I have a home for the letter tray itself. It can go in my giveaway pile.
Today I bought a few clear plastic shoeboxes for storage in our bathroom/hall closet, because it is a mess, and the smaller bins I have in there are overflowing. I put one together tonight--all our medicine/pharmacy-type things--but there is SO much more work to do in there. Mostly getting rid of old makeup-type crap.
I also wanted some storage options for my desk, and I ended up with two medium stacking bins plus a slim paper file. Previously I had upright things just leaning, and an assortment of crap holding the vertical stuff up. Which meant things were in a jumble and constantly falling over. So going vertical with the smaller stuff storage was important. However, pretty much all of the storage pieces were large and flat, or large and tall and wide--and I need smallish and vertical. So the bottom one holds random stuff like pens, earphones, etc, while the top holds the stapler, tape dispenser, notepads, and the tiny bowl which has work keys and binder clips. The top left shelf used to have a precariously balanced full pencil bin, and now it's two pen cups, kleenex, and envelopes.
Overall it looks and feels SO much clearer and cleaner! I love that feeling. Except that then I look around at all the other places that need this kind of attention and I feel depressed, because it's everywhere. Oh well, baby steps. This is really good progress for me, and it'll be good motivation to keep going, in small bits.
Oh, and if you need some inspiration, flip through Unfuck Your Habitat. Seeing that occasionally has gotten the declutter/cleanup bug seeped into my head here and there.
To celebrate Valentine's Day or better known here as The day of love and friendship. I show you all the set of cookies I did last September 2011 among cookie friends. These helped to give a special gift to Lisa aka "The Bearfoot Baker" to thank all her and her husband kindness at CC.

143: Inside one of the many barracks abandoned at Fort Ord. Time has not been kind to these old facilities. There are acres upon acres of these old abandoned WWII wooden barracks. Great for exploring with your camera.

Still relying on the macro extension tubes to get me out of a hole on day 15 of my 365 project. Picture taken using a Nifty Fifty Canon EF50mm F1.8 II with cheapo manual extension tubes a spare bit of Black acrylic that I had lying around, oh and the shiny contents of my back pocket, minus the fluff.
The full latin inscription on this version of the pound coin reads "Decus Et Tutamen" which translated means "An ornament and a safeguard". Other pound coin designs have different inscriptions.
Bread for the World members headed to Capitol Hill on Tuesday June 14, 2011, to lobby their members of Congress on behalf of poor and hungry people. Lobby Day was part of the Bread for the World's 2011 Gathering, when nearly 300 people from around the United States converged on Washington D.C. to learn how to advocate against hunger and poverty.
Bread members from Pennsylvania, including Tara Marks, lobby in the office of Senator Robert Casey. They did not get to actually meet him.

Needed to swap around some eyes so I thought I'd take a long overdue photo of all of my Mystics! These are exclusively Low Dome 12/14mm
Clockwise from top right:
• Coffee Bean
• Honey Gold (Albino)
• Lavender 2 (Albino)
• Sea Smokey
• Horizon Blue
• Sea Green
• Sea Water (Albino)
• Limited #4
• Blue Jelly
• Limited #15
Blue Jelly is ironically not very blue (kind of a pale turquoise green).
Horizon Blue is like a dimmed version of Sea Green, which is a gorgeous bright blue.
Sea Water (which is oddly named since it is the... more green colour) is a lovely turquoise.
Sea Smokey is a cold-spectrum, pale blue.
The Limiteds are always so dreamy, I wish Isaia's eyes were more open so I could appreciate the #15's more, which are a pale green with darkened rims. #4 is an amazing emerald green.
Honey Gold is like a golden yellow, not actually metallic, but it has a nice glow to it.
Lavender 2 is a warm-ish purple.
Coffee Bean is a medium brown, not particularly red, just a nice neutral brown.

Earlier today, she uploaded this and I thought why not return the favour:P.
The meetup was long awaited. She was one of my earliest flickr contacts,and I've been admiring the artist in her for quite a while.
She's as mad as I imagined her to be, loves photography and studies literature(which is a fascinating combo) and the photowalk inside Mohakhali Slum was quite a fruitful one.

I think this was taken at almost the same time she took my photograph.
