A tisket, a tasket, I finally bought a basket!

All my mommy life, I have had an ugly stack of assorted papers in a pile. On my countertop. With no real end in sight. Yesterday I had a brainstorm: I bought a basket. And put the papers in it. DUH. It looks fabulous. I like to sit there and look at it. Basically, that is all I dare to look at. If my eyes wonder any distance in any other direction, I find more clutter. I'm about to go crazy in the basket buying department. I'm organizing. One square foot at a time. If you have any other creative solutions, do tell. I'd hate to have only baskets in my house.

Despite my migraine, life is good. I have found the meaning to life. The Keurig. If you are a coffee drinker, GET ONE!! I used to be a half-hearted coffee drinker. Now I'm a full-fledged-my-blood-is-diluted-with-coffee type person. I hope the novelty wears off soon and I go back to half-hearted. It's cheaper that way.

*$35 later, the van is up and running.
*my wallet and brain did a happy dance. my heart did not.
*Guess we'll have more of a chance to save the dollahs for my Acadia.
*Logan's appointment is early next week.
*is it garage sale season yet?
*I bought a Keurig. In case you didn't know.
*I'm speckled in Gray. True story.
*Our neighborhood now has three new mailboxes. Trust me. You don't want to buy three new mailboxes. Money down the drain. On the flip side, I found out ZZTop is a good mailbox-putter-upper. I was wondering, that's why I took 'em down in the first place.
*Spring didn't sprung. Apparently.
*It's my fault, because I washed and stashed all the winter gear.
*I actually was enjoying winter till I saw my grass. I'm over it now.

WAKE UP!!! WIPE THAT DROOL!! Geez! I mean, I know this post is boring and all, but I need you to answer a question for me. I am trying my hand at gardening this year. Heh. Did I tell you that one time I killed a cactus? True story. Anywho. What kind of plants do you recommend me torturing and then finally killing this year? I need to start out small so that I don't crash and burn two seconds into it. I know me. It's very possible.
