But I could have!

I was in Rack Room today, contemplating buying a pair of round-toe, low heel shoes. A friend of mine recommended them highly for comfort. I’m always looking for comfy dress shoes, since I have to stand for long periods of time during chorale concerts!

So why did I leave without them? I didn’t see anything else I wanted. They almost always have a buy one / get one 1/2 off sale … so I figure I can probably still get them some other time when I can take advantage of the sale!

Also, they would throw off the shoe storage system I set up yesterday. All dress shoes and ballet flats are hanging behind the door, and there aren’t any spaces left!

In cleaning news … I decided to organize my running clothes and switch out the spring/summer clothes today. I have a storage box on top of my husband’s armoire for the off-season stuff.

In general, I have issues with putting my clothes away. I’m hoping once I get my act together and do a major closet clean-out, I will be able to keep up with it better.

So … the running clothes. Some of them are in the drawer like they’re supposed to be, but they’re a bit of a mess:

That’s my auxiliary dresser — the one from my childhood bedroom. My everyday clothes go in the main dresser. This one handles the running clothes, T-shirts and pajamas. Perhaps I don’t need a whole drawer of T-shirts (mainly unisex shirts from races, etc.), but that’s another project …

Anyway, back to the problem of putting things away:

I don’t put my running stuff in the dryer, so I hang it around the house to dry. You can also see the pile on top of the desk in the guest room from a previous wash. These have been dry for quite some time now.

I picked up some drawer dividers today in hopes of keeping some semblance of organization in this drawer. Pants on the left, divider, shirts in the middle, divider, then sports bras and tanks on the right.

Here’s how it turned out:

Yes, there’s still a pile of crap on the top. That’ll be another day!

It’s a bit of a tight fit, pants take up a lot more room than shorts. I am not allowed to buy any more running pants!

I also cleaned the litter boxes today, but you don’t need to see that.

Today, I am thankful for lazy Sundays. I slept in with the kitties for a long time. I didn’t get out of bed until 12:30. Whoa! Which would actually be 1:30 if the clocks didn’t roll back. Yikes!

Hey, it’s been a tough week!
