Guess what? Last night we worked and worked and the desk is totally manageable. I filed the box of papers/ threw a huge pile into the recycling bin (why do we keep so much useless paper??), put away the micellaneous items that had found a temporary home on the desk, shredded, stacked, and finally… success!

Now the only remaining threat to desk-heaven are the large stacks of receipts. Oh, and by the way, my purse. I do not carry a big purse. I am just not a “big hobo-bag purse” kind of person – especially if it’s overly shiny or has a bunch of useless hardware and large metal items hanging from it. So, I have a small understated black leather purse… which is currently stuffed to the gills with more receipts.

I probably should write those debits down somewhere…

And so, today’s “Tackle it Tuesday” is all about receipts. I have a hot date with Quicken and the shredder.

I should also add that my first act of this Tuesday morning was ironing SIX, count them SIX, shirts and a pair of pants. I still have not even put a dent in the ironing pile, but it’s a start!
