Cleansing

This is my summer goal...I have learned that I get very lazy unless I am quite organized and make lots of lists. Therefore, to allow myself to have a wonderful school year, I am organizing, cleansing, and list making.

Last week I cleaned the office. Since moving into our house a year ago, our office has never been completely clean. We've cleaned the floor, but not the closet and there's always been a pile somewhere. This time I cleaned it all. I even put up a beautiful calendar (given to me by my sister) and some corkboard squares. It's amazing how much more I want to work on my computer upstairs just because I want to be in my clean space. (not great pictures, but oh well...)

Last week I also started deleting e-mails. I have gone from 136 pages of e-mails to like 43. That is definitely cleansing. I read e-mails from back in 2005-2006. I will still hopefully whittle this number down to the 20s or so, but still...not too shabby. In the e-mails I ran into a million from my dad who had scanned and e-mailed me a ton of pictures from when I was little to be used in a wedding slideshow. Here are some of my favs:

Runaway Bride

Today I watched The Runaway Bride. My sister owns it and we used to watch it all the time, but now I realized I haven't watched it in years...so that's what I did today instead of homework.

This is such a quotable movie, and I love so many of the lines. This is one of my favorites...who doesn't want a guy like this??

(said in a Richard Gere voice...)

"You want a man, who will lead you down the beach, with his hand over your eyes just so you can discover the feel of your sand beneath your feet. You want a guy, who will wake you up at dawn, just bursting to talk to you, he can't wait another minute just to find out what you'll say. Am I right? "
