It had to be done. I mean I’m here at my sister’s on vacation for a whole month after all. Much too long to be away from my beautiful friends. I miss them so much when I’m away from them.
You see my sister kindly had some empty drawers waiting for me when I arrived so I could unpack some of my stuff but, honestly, I didn’t know how to unpack without my trusty friends. That first night it was hard to sleep knowing those drawers were….naked!
My second day here found me at Walmart where some new friends found their way into my cart. I have no idea how it happened either considering I had told my Dad to keep me on track…..I just needed a new bathing suit for my daughter, nothing else. How I ended up walking down the aisle….you know the one I’m talking about. I swear I tried to block the voices that called out to me. I covered my ears and sang “la-la-la-la, I can’t hear you” but the pull was just too strong for me, I am weak, I couldn’t hang on.
MUST HAVE FRIENDS…
I rounded the corner and there they were…..ahhhhh.
“Come with me my pretties, I have some beautiful drawers for you to sleep in. You’ll be comfortable there” and off we went.

I thought I was sick. But this is hilariously great. On vacation. As a guest. You buy baskets to organize with. This rocks. See and what’s running through my mind now is “dude, she didn’t get them on clearance, used, or garage sale’d or something!” But sometimes the obsessive organizing trumps the obsessively cheap… oh well. ;)
You are crazy even so far away…. I love it. I actually pack a couple-O-basket or small bins when we travel to avoid times like this. You are a freak… Be BOLD!
LOL!!!
I hear those voices too…my husband just thinks I am crazy! LOL
Hahahaha… you are awesome…
Hehe… I like your new “friends.”
Hugs,
Melinda
So funny! We usually just live out of suitcases. :-)
Okay — over the top, Laura … over the top.
I thought you were going to say that your new friends were thingies for an internet connection! lol!
I have those containers everywhere! In my kitchen alone, three drawers are organized with them. They’re great!
Sounds like you’re right in you element, even on vacation. LOL
I love those containers!
I am enjoying your blog.
I am living in a remodeling mess as we speak.
OH, the organization I need!!!
I’ve been throwing away, giving away, you name it!
I’m definitely adding you to my blog friend list!
You are too funny…..
You are such a hoot !!! I thought I was freaky cause when I check into a hotel I immediately have to totally unpack and put everything away and then hide the suitcase in the closet!
PS Did you get the tote I sent you???
Those are the best kinds of friends. So dependable and they always take such good care of our things. :)
that is too funny! They call my name too! I admit it! I am a container addict.
That was too cute! Now the question is will they travel home with you or be donated to your sister’s home? ;0)
Oh I’m going to try real hard to leave them behind for my sister. In fact I’ve purchased many a basket for her while I’m here. I think I might even have her hooked…he he.
Ok, so now I understand why your website uses the word junkie. How funny. :-)
You crack me up! But I completely understand the compulsion, and I blame you completely for my new addiction.
I can’t stay out of Dollar Tree, at least once a week I go prowling the container aisle there, and always come home with some goodies.
Hope your vacation is going great!!
Oh my goodness! I’m in love with your blog!! You see…I completely lack organization when it comes to clutter in my home. I plan to thoroughly read through your blog and learn!!
THANK YOU!!!
Hope you are enjoying your vacation…otherwise…LOL!! You are scaring me however because since starting my whole “organizing myself” goal, I too have raided many container aisles. AHHH. I love being so organized though. Thank you for that!! I can’t wait to have my whole house that way and to always have “organizing” in my mind! Ahh, my cluttered mind will be so thankful!!
have a great weekend.
You crack me up!!!! Maybe the frugal option would be to pack a few “friends” next time you travel!! LOL….. How hilarious!
We are all creatures of habit aren’t we?! = )
that’s too funny. I can see how you’d be excited…i love them too..
I’m tellin ya, those baskets are like crack. So’s yer blog! I’m just obsessed with those long narrow minibins!! 3 for less than buck and its sooooooo much fun to find places to put them and then fill ‘em up.
I’ve done my junk drawer, my linen closet, my bathroom sink, medicine cabinet, bathroom shelf and back of the toilet all in just the 2 days since I discovered your blog here.
I’ve always wanted a new hobby, I just never figured it would be mini-bins from WM!
I see nothing wrong with this. haha. I’m hooked too. So, right there with ya!
I just had a good laugh at your explanation of your ‘friends’. What a fun blog.
I agree, containers make organizier easier, visually more attractive and somehow soothing not to mention being able to fit more things into smaller spaces.
I like the comment from CMM about this becoming a hobby. I had never thought of organizing as a hobby–I like that.

Get It Together Organizing
I have come to one conclusion. you are NUTS!!! You have totally LOST IT!!! But…….you make me laugh. Hope you are having fun! Take care. Kathy
That is too funny! You really should see someone about this obsession of yours…
:)
I miss you! Write more!
I use those same baskets to organize our curriculum and more. Love them!!
I just really enjoy your blog and you have inspired me to do more organizing. Between your organizing and Rashel’s decluttering things are really starting to shape up here.
I have initiated a “Who’s Got Junk” Challenge and so far it is going really well!!! Woo Hoo!
You’re hilarious! Thanks for making my laugh.
I wish you and Marcia would come vacation at my house! I’d love some organizing junkies doing their magic around here.
Oh, you’re so funny. . . . I’m glad you made yourself at home.
you are way too funny! (I wish I were you!!!!)
I knew it! I just knew it! There was no way you could curb “those urges” for a whole month. You’re too funny, girl!
