I'm sitting here at the dining room table while I am typing this post, and as I glance out the window to the left of me, I see Tiny, our biggest dog, gazing sorrowfully at me with her big brown eyes (OPEN! OPEN! OPEN!).

"I'm watching you. Yes you, sitting there on your comfy chair where it is WARM, while I, YOUR dog, is out here with the other two insufferable mongrels where the weather is frighteningly cold. I hope you are happy when I come down with pneumonia!"

Yeah, like that is going to work. Moving right along.....

We have gone through a big reorganization at work, which requires much moving of desks and offices, and did I mention the dust? I do have one important question for you that I have never understood. How in the WORLD do you collect so much stuff in a short span of time? Even though they moved the desks themselves (so we didn't have to empty them), I went ahead and cleaned and organized it. I believe I had approximately 27 pens, 12 highlighters, and 22 pencils. I have so many post-it-note pads that I could probably wallpaper our office. I have documents that dated all the way back to 2005, and they were from when I was in Finance. Now tell me please, why in the world did I still have these?

Speaking of dust, there was so much of it I was afraid that it would all come together in one blob (do you remember that movie?) and scoop me up, swallowing me whole. I'm quite sure that I sneezed more times today than I have in the past year. I felt like I needed to take my eyeballs out and clean them with Clorox and vacuum my nose out. Your welcome.

Despite all of this, it felt really good purging all of the contents of my office. I could feel the immediate gratification of having a clean and organized area. Now, I have to just put it all back together tomorrow morning, but that should be fun. I have so much more ROOM! The bets are now on as to how long this will last.
