Fifi the organizational freak

did you know that i love organizing stuff? not stuff as in events and all but stuff as in the back of the store, my room, the house in general, etc. it's so nice when you walk into a house and it's tidy! yesterday i went on a rampage in the back of the store (i had nothing else to do) and decided it was high time someone took initiative and did something about the pigsty we were working in. through the course of the day i succeeded in moving half the things leaning along the far left hand wall near the roll-up door and relocating them or getting rid of them (you may call me dumpster girl and laugh but really that is one of my favorite things to do. throw junk away. in fact the magic word really isn't 'please', it's 'throw it away'!). while moving one of the three folding picnic tables out all 30-odd shuffle board tops came crashing down, narrowly missing my head and hitting a dolly with 4 tubs of 'liquid siding' on it instead. seriously one of these days i'm going to kill myself. needless to say i was pressed to remove the shuffle boards from the floor and did so 2 at a time onto the top shelf of racking that we recently put up. thank goodness for that racking, i've fit so much on it that otherwise would be junked in big piles on the floor in the big open space and we'd be treated to regular reprimands from Dad about how 'cleanliness is next to godliness'. yes Dad it really was a good idea, although it was a hideous amount of work while we were in the process of upgrading.
so now we can actually see parts of the wall whereas before all we saw were large boards, shuffle boards, ladders, tables, and quite frankly, junk.
and now we're ready for the shipment tomorrow!! we get this Friday and next Tuesday which will be extremely good being as our shelves are emptying out fast. i just hope and pray that the loads will be BIG unlike the past few which have been pathetically small.
thats all for now folks!!
oh and cheer up, the rain can't last forever....

What is the point of blogging? what is the point of having a blog in general? why do we have this insistence on people peeking into our lives? can you tell i have absolutely nothing to say?
yes it was a long day at work, and i'm glad to be home. and being as someone mentioned off-hand the other day how i never update my blog i thought i'd better. no time like the present.
so here goes:
-I am fine
-Leah is pregnant (yay!!)
-Will is leaving (yay? no really i'll miss him)
-Kiara is 5 (october 11)

and that is really all the remarkable news that i can think of!! but actually it depends on what you would consider remarkable. some people want to know every detail of your life, when you got your last haircut, when you got your last speeding ticket, what you bought when you last went shopping and how much it cost....or even what time of night you go to bed! i don't mind. but i can never turn my thoughts into proper words so i apologize to any offended party who may find my blog boring and useless.
here are some more interesting ones:
