The . o r g stands for Organized
Well, at least for half one-third of the dreifuss posse.
We went to Lowe's today to find a sturdy shelf for the garage so we'd have room to move around when the Sentra is parked in there. We came out of Lowe's with two other organizational tools: a drawer organizer, which took 10 minutes to implement [ the difference is amazing! ] and a collapsible tiered shelf for the laundry room.
My enthusiasm for organization is few and far between, but when I get the bug, I enjoy it -- and Meg does, too. It's the basic equivalent of her asking if I want to spend a week in Ohio playing nonstop board games.
