Sorry I didn't write yesterday fans, it was not that you were not in my thoughts, but I was at a company "retreat" the entire day and away from my computer.
It's going to snow a lot today and I'm not feeling it. The shoveling that lies ahead is dreaded.
So what can I recommend for today? Little things. Here is a list of little things that I always forget about doing. They are small things, but once I've done them, I always feel so much better:
Polishing my shoes. I never do this, but like I said, when I do, I'm like "Wow! My shoes looked so crappy before, and now they look so great!" It's a good, small, satisfying project that can easily be accomplished while watching American Gladiator.
Cleaning the light switches, phones, and remote controls in your house. Oh! When you think of how many times you've rested your pretty digits on each of these items after your fingers have been in the peanut butter jar - the realization is staggering!!
Refolding your clothes. My drawers get out of whack pretty fast. When I take the time to take everything out and refold them, the result is a pretty package that makes me wanna pucker!
Rolling coins. I LOVE to roll coins. Am I weird? Yes! I'm just not one of those types who goes to the coin machine and dumps them in. Too easy peasy. I hand roll, baby. Having all those coin logs around comes in handy. I've already rolled $20 towards my trip to Italy. AW YEAH!
Cleaning your makeup brushes. Holla! Do you do this every week? Hell no. Should you? Hell yes! Nothing beats the feeling of a clean, soft brush upon your delicate face. Here's my system: Take a mild soap and soak those nasty brushes for at least 5 mins. Then, take it to the street and hand wash each one until they don't rub any make up off on your hand. Rinse and let dry on the edge of the sink so that the brush hangs over the sink bowl. This will ensure that the brush will retain it's luscious form and not get all flat on one side.
Shredding documents. I love you my sweet shredder. You are the bread and I am your cheddar. My files are pretty full. So it's very important that I only keep what I need to. How long do you have to save stuff like phone bills? I usually save them for 1 year. I keep a file of "To Shred" on my shelf and let the old crap pile up until I have enough for one big, super, scintillating shredding session. This way, the satisfaction just goes on and on and on!
Do you have any projects that you do that make you feel clean on the inside?
Please share!

About the shoe polishing. Do you think the 'feelgood result' of shoe polishing is linked to the shoe ownership..?
Say no so you can make me and yourself even MUCH better..:)!!

feel much better.. yeah english.. difficult:)
I can only hope to reach the OCD goddess status that you have attained but how about these ones:
cleaning all of your hair brushes, taking out all of your silverware and cleaning out the tray you keep it in, de-pilling all or your wool blankets and sweaters (I swear my cousin does this and it brings her much happiness)
