Adams Organinzing - My Progress

Last week, I posted about Adams Organizing.
I wanted to let you all know that I received my
It was a detailed report (6 pages) consisting of 
You Said: Statement outlining what she understood
from our phone/Skype conversation,
and emails that I sent to her,
I Saw:  What she "saw" from our communications,
and photo's that I sent to her.
Prescription for Progress:
I was given a detailed plan for setting
up a daily routine, steps to organize my office space, 
a solution for handling my paperwork, 
and descriptions and links for resources.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I decided that my first step would be to organize 
my office space, using the "guidelines" that were suggested.
I felt that if I did this first, that the other steps 
would be put into place more easily.

Organizing my office space took about 3 days,
spending an hour here and an hour there.
Total cost - about $35 for some storage containers.
I wanted to add more color into my room, so I
had my husband pick up some clear tinted
plastic containers, instead of using some 
clear ones, that I already had.

Before:
After:
 The area is much less cluttered, 
and I feel that it is much more "Inviting".
I moved many of my books, 
-that I keep on hand for my 20 Book Giveaways-
 to some cabinets that I cleared out.
Other books where cataloged for tax purposes,
(and placed in boxes which went straight into my son's car)
and will be donated to our local library.
I cut up file folders to use in the plastic drawer sets,
to make them more attractive, and add even more color.

AND - because I moved many items to the rooms
that they are more "suited" for, I didn't make my 
closet any messier (that's for another post),
than it already is!

What do ya'll think of the changes?
Be on the lookout for additional posts
on my progress.

Please take a few moments to go over
and read about her business.
She is so easy to work with,
and you may find that she could be
of service to YOU!

She and I would both appreciate it:-)

Bloggy Blog Designz - Review

Bloggy Blog Designz 
has done it again.
I was so excited when Jenna re-did Neas Nuttiness,
that I contacted them about working with me on 
(Which of course has now been changed to 
A Tail of THREE Doggies).

Bloggy Blog Designz worked with me to 
get just the look that I wanted,
and they did it with professionalism.
It was an absolutely pleasure to work with them.

Bloggy Blog Designz works with both
Blogger and Wordpress, and 
the process is very easy, 
the pricing is reasonable,
and you GET what you WANT!

They have so much available,
and if you are interested in getting more traffic
to your blog(s) you should really look into
 



The opinions expressed are honest and truthful, but I do have
  a material connection because I received the services as a gift in exchange for this review.



Adams Organizing & Me

As some of you know by now - I'm a ditz.
I'm nice, but a ditz none the less.
After having suffered brain damage 20 years ago,
I've developed a number of other medical conditions,
and when you combine the brain damage, medical conditions,
and all the medication that I take, it all adds up.
So, when it comes to the ditziness chart- I'm off the scale!
I started blogging to keep up with friends and family.
I was hooked when I discovered blogdom, and all that it offers.
This led to my dogs, blog, and ultimately to Libby's Library.
I've me so many wonderful people in the blogosphere, and
I love to connect with others,
BUT...
as of late, I've found that keeping up with all of this
has become quite a chore, and gets more difficult as the days go by.
I've debated and debated on what to do.
I've let this blog slide - A Tail of Three Doggies has all but died.
As far as Libby's Library goes...
I forget to post winners information, I'm often late in choosing winners,
I lose track of products coming in, and
reviews that need to go up.  I've been known to misplace items, 
and miss scheduled dates. 
I feel like I'm holding on by a thread 
and my fingers are getting really really tired.
The way things stand now, is that Libby's Library 
has become a weight on my shoulders that I just can't continue to support. 
It's taken over my life, and I no longer have time or strength to pursue
other things, like sewing, and scrapbooking, and taking photos,
and trying out new recipes.

It's come down to - give up Libby's Library - or find a solution to help me
get a handle on all of this.

Elise, the woman behind Adams Organizing,
is working with me, to develop, 
not just an organizational system for my paperwork, 
but also a system to help me balance my needs and my wants...
so that I can begin to breath again...
to be able to wake up in the morning, and to actually look forward to the day!

After lots of emails back and forth, Skyping, and talking on the phone.
I'm anxiously awaiting the next piece of the puzzle that Elise
is preparing for me...


Please be sure to keep tuned in for further posts.

Yeah - My Hearts Bleeding For Them:-(


House Minority Leader  Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far right, speaks while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert, D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a  new budget. (AP)


The guy sitting in the row in front of these two....he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores. 


These are the folks that couldn't get the budget out by Oct. 1, and are about to control your health care, cap and trade, and the list goes on and on
Should we buy them larger screen computers - or - a ticket home, permanently?
This is one of their 3-DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for 
(salary is about $179,000 per year).
