Organizational Origami

I talked Lister into helping me pick up a bookcase from Ikea over the weekend. We set it up in the dining room area and managed to put pretty much all of our spare books into it which cleared out not only the random piles of reading material we had lying around but also one whole older bookcase and another tightly packed shelf on a third unit. Plus we still have some room left on the new shelf, which speaks to how inhumanly massive this thing is. 72 inches square sounds pretty big, conceptually, but in person it is really stinkin’ huge.

So our somewhat tardy spring cleaning is pretty much done at this point, having now cleaned out three of four closets, re-shuffled our various media (the old bookcase is now exclusively a DVD holder) and gotten rid of lots of old stuff. We do still have one unsightly pile of stuff that we need to decide what to do with (eBay, donate, toss, etc) but generally speaking the place looks a lot nicer and we can actually find stuff we’re looking for on occasion now.

Also, I am prepared to go camping at a moment’s notice. That fact is neither here nor there, but you can consider it a public service announcement. Besides, I bet none of you could go camping in five minutes flat. Hmph.
