I have become obsessed with this song this evening. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to it on repeat. :P

The next reorganization project on my list, the dining room. This space has become my dirty little secret of sorts because I pretend it doesn’t exist. Haha. That shelf is where I shove all my craft projects. Note the sketch pads and craft paper for scherenschnitte spilling out behind the shelf. Oh and lets not ignore that dining room chair that’s been laying on its side forever! It’s broken and I keep meaning to try to fix it if I can. Plus, you get a hint of the pile that’s sitting on the dining room table. I never use it, which makes it a magnet for clutter. Whew. I have my work cut out for me but it is time, the clutter must go! :)
Oh, that Whole Foods bag will stay though. I occasionally replace it with a fresh bag. It’s one of Ruki’s hideaway spots. :P

Woo! I finished reorganizing my bookshelves! It all started when I decided I wanted to get rid of my DVD cases and use binders instead. The DVDs are now on 1 shelve (bottom left) instead of 6. Yeah, I have a lot of DVDs. It’s the TV series that take up so much room. :P I kept the Buffy DVDs in their original DVD case though because I like that packaging. I love how I got to spread out all my manga and have a shelf just for my Harry Potter books. Yay! :)
So then I moved on to the next set of shelves. I reorganized them and pulled out books for donations. These shelves are my mass markets, some writing books, X-Files, and new age. It looks full, but those mass markets shelves were a whole lot more full before. :P
And lastly, I cleaned up the shelves in my entry way. I had to step into my hallway to take this pic. There isn’t enough room to get the entire shelf in the pic otherwise. My door is being propped open by boxes full of things I’m donating thanks to all this spring cleaning. This shelf has books my grandparents left me, some anthologies, trade paperbacks, ya & kids, and my Calvin & Hobbes collection. Yeah, I have a lot of books. It is known. :P
Whew and yay! :)

Beef stir fry with broccoli and bean sprouts. I didn’t even realize that I like bean sprouts until I tried them with this recipe. Heh. :P

Ruki is in crazy stalker mode today. Every time I turn around today, she’s in some place she normally isn’t, eyeing something like it’s going to attack any second. In this case, she pulled the afghan free from the couch to hide between it and the couch, while she carefully watches an evil ball with a bell in it roll across the floor. :P

A paleo pumpkin muffin. It’s pretty yummy, but a little creamy for a muffin. I think the nuts are supposed to help with that and I left them out. I’m not a big walnut fan, but maybe I’ll try it with pecans next time. :)
