I remember back in the day, we'd send the kids out to walk the dog with a stern reminder to judo chop any predators while we ate fat free soupy oatmeal with hot tea and aerobically cleaned radon out of our desks, taking care not to purposely get any in our eyes or wombs, while in the kitchen, the fragrance of rye bread rose from a Nigerian gizmo made creatively and with great balance in Lagos.

"...we found a plethora of unused organizing paraphernalia (baskets, plastic drawer systems, Tupperware tubs) just lying around the house and put them right to work! All it took was a little bit of creativity and a label maker -- voila!" In case we didn't know Americans generally have too much stuff, we now have a whole class of professionals who organize crap for paying clients. It's great to be an American!

CunningLinguist, bravo, that was lovely. cunningfinger, only if you're a believer. Evstar, this was a surprising pain in the ass to put together. I started it about a week and a half ago and had to drop some of the observances. But it was kind of fun to do anyway.

That's exactly why January is Get Organized Month and Be On Purpose Month. To clean up all those WTF months.

Someone should do this every month. Agree about the billboard display. I'm sure I'll work some of this into the classroom.

The creativity link was just what I needed, I haven't had an inkling of creativity since NaNoWriMo was over.

Hmm, according to Googlism, February is 'spay/neuter month' and also 'the gold month for producers and sellers of pornography production'. Zoophiliacs rejoice!
