OMG, this thread is very funny- trying to be organized is my lifelong struggle. I don't think I have any rhyme or reason for how things are stored, other than a lack of space.
My DD- she *thrives* on organization. One of the first things she showed me in her work office was her drawer full of her org. supplies. I bet she and
@ClaireG would have some fascinating discussions on the proper use of Post-Its, highlighter colors, and how many label markers is too many to own.

My mom is literally OCD about how things need to be organized. I was at my parents' house yesterday, helping them sort through junk to donate. As we finished one area, she had to "fix" the way the boxes were stacked so they were all lined up *exactly*. But then, when I opened a box of photos. OMG, it was a jumbled mess, pictures of her on her Communion along with pictures of my kids- all together, just floating around.
I made my mom buy me some photo storage boxes yesterday, brought that mess of a box home, and guess what I am doing today?
