Getting Organized....okay trying...

So today, after estimates, measurements, phone calls, emails, and LOTS of looking...we bought a closet organizing system at The Container Store. This is one of my favorite stores, seriously. But if you walked into my home...you'd probably NEVER know it. I admire organization. I strive for it. You are either born with it ...or not. My Mom is the Queen of Organization. Growing up with her....was so unnatural for me. My Brother Benny....takes the cake for the men in my life for organization...although Kevin and his Dad are closely behind! Ben used to lay his "getting ready stuff" toothbrush, comb, toothpaste, deodrant, razor, gel, etc..on a hand towel folded in half next to the sink before he went to bed every night. He certainly has my Mom's organization gene....as I am going to call it! I do not. I try, tried, and will continue to try to pull my act together...I keep thinking .....if I just had the right tool....I would be completely organized! Well....I have yet to find it! The gene is not mine to claim...but maybe with my closet organizer...I will make some giant leaps forward. Maybe? I'll take some pictures when it get's in...Kevin is putting it up right now! I can't wait to see it. It cost a pretty penny....but if it's "the tool" that get's me put together after all these years...it's worth it! As I've seen from others, if you don't have the genes, you can still "buy" some of the attributes!!! Ahhhh, organization here I come!!!!
