Happy New Year

Today is New Year's Day.  It's the day where we take stock of the previous year and look ahead to the coming year with hope and optimism.  We get a proverbial "clean slate" every three hundred sixty-five days (yeah, yeah....I know....unless it's a leap year) with which to ditch old habits and vices and begin anew. 

To start 2011 I am taking the 21 Day Challenge. 

Our first "assignment" was to organize a drawer - preferably a "junk drawer."  I was inspired.  A not-so-quick trip to Staples later (LOVE the Post-it aisle) and I was ready to face whatever was lurking in my junk drawer in the kitchen.  It hadn't been cleaned out since I moved into my house over a year ago.  This is what I found:

I was SUPER glad that there weren't any gremlins hiding in there.  Since I rarely open the drawer (other than to throw something in there), I was not totally sure of what I would find.  After feeding the piggy bank all of the loose change at the bottom of the drawer, I gave it a healthy spray of Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day and set to work sorting through my junk.  It's amazing what long-lost treasure you can find in a junk drawer!  Now for the big reveal.....ta-da!

I have to say....it didn't take long at all AND my draw smells like lemon verbena now.  Happy New Year and may each day begin like a clean slate!  Cheers!
