Mabel’s Labels BlogHer ’10 Contest

The following is my entry into  Mabel’s Labels BlogHer ’10 contest. We were asked to write a post on our blog in response to the following hypothetical situation:

Electrical storms are going to wipe out the Internet (perhaps forever). You have one day left to write about your passions: what do you want to say to the blogosphere in 300 words or less?
Enjoy!

************************************************************************************************************************

I enjoy scrapbooking, I could spend hours buried in a good book, I think I’m even becoming a decent writer. All of those hobbies pale in comparison to my true passion, organizing.

I’ve only just begun to share this passion with my “blogosphere” friends. My long time friends are well accustomed to my OCD ways.

I remember the very first organizational tool I ever used, an opaque purple caboodle with a glitter finish that only a little girl could truly appreciate. I spent hours carefully arranging all of my make-up only to decide later that it was much better suited to my massive hoard of Barbie accessories. It gave me an incredible thrill to be able to instantly show my mom that I didn’t in fact have a hundred pairs of Barbie shoes.

In my college years I used my organizing skills to squirrel away more than double the amount of clothes and trinkets into my dorm room than any of the other girls on my floor.

My love of organizing kicked into full gear when I finally moved out on my own. Having an entire apartment that I could arrange any way I liked was for me the equivalent of letting a 7 year-old loose in a candy store. I had a kitchen, bathroom, living room and closets all to myself. The only downside to this new found freedom was that organizing supplies can be COSTLY.

These days I get my “thrills” helping my friends and family get their lives organized. Whether it is helping a friend get her clothes in order or helping her get a handle on her overflowing inbox. My goal is to someday be the person that people seek out to help them get organized.

Geez, I know, I keep moving all over the place, blogger, wordpress, self-hosted. It's hard to keep up. I'm hoping this will be a permanent home for my ramblings. I'm trying to get things prettied up a bit so please be patient.
