Curtains
The author sets out, with much humor and little money, to sample the best of the self-help gurus. To get exercised into shape with Richard Simmons, to be shown how to be successful by FranklinCovey, to get organized with some organizer chick. Each do-over for the year gets a chapter in the book.It is when the author describes her house, with the sheet tacked up instead of curtains on the windows, the bulging plastic bag filled with wine corks (to be recycled), the broken step on the front porch, that Cow really saw the humor in America's need to Get Organized.
(Cow quickly hiding any wine bottles from the author)
Moo!

Will commence embroidering a sampler that says "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
Why has being disorganised become a bad thing? I know it can be annoying, but who set the bench mark anyway?
Says me who is inclined to bouts of disorganisation.
I wonder if I can get some of those self help books here just so I can feel at least I tried to get "professional" help.
Richard Simmons......oh dear.
All those unused organization books just become clutter. Save your money and get thai food instead. Yum!
Daisy: Would Cow could find any embroidery materials in the piles of "stuff waiting to be filed" she'd be happy to join in!
Linda: Your astute comments point out the real problem in organizing: finding things after they've been organized away.
Plus trying to remember if you threw something out, or just re-homed it.
Apparently Mr. Simmons charmed this cynical self-help seeker, his chapter was the only one not to cut the professional to shreds!
Watercolor: second your Thai food motion!
Moo!
