Packing It Up NEATLY – Not Happening

February19

From hemorrhoids to home insurance quotes, we cover the gamut here, don’t we?

Today’s subject is organization. I can’t get organized to save my life, except when it comes to work. Why is that? Why can I arrange my work in a very neat and orderly way, but I can’t find my grandmother’s recipe for pigs in the blanket? Or figure out where I left the hammer? It’s so weird how the brain operates.

There’s a move in my near future, and when I think of it I break out in a cold sweat. No matter how many times I’ve moved and how much I swear the next time I’m going to be more organized, it never ends up that way. I usually end up chucking stuff hither and yon, and then wonder when it comes to unpacking it all I can’t find a damned thing I need.

I’ve read (and written!) articles on how to label boxes, make lists, and pack things neatly, but I just can’t seem to pull that off. The kitchen stuff is jumbled with books; clothes are packed with the bathroom stuff; pictures are included with shoes in the same box. Go figure.

I need an intervention. Gah.

Welcome to Over Forty and Loving It! We’re just getting started, but we’re bringing women over forty the information they need and want. With our hormones deserting us, our kids leaving the house, we believe women should look forward to this stage of their lives. It’s not always pretty, not always easy, but we feel if you just keep an open mind, along with a wicked sense of humor, it can be fun.

You might be wondering, who are we? We’re two old friends who have nearly a hundred years of experience between us. We’ve both worked as nurses, as writers, love music and enjoy traveling whenever possible.  We know the joys and devastation of relationships. So here we are! Enjoy!
