Bookshelf
Today I decided to clean up our bookshelf. The clutter has been annoying me for a while, but as it's next to J's chair (formerly known as my chair) I never really go over there. And as he tends to use the area as the catch all for his mail & stuffs, I decided to give him his own shelf for that sorta thing.
Beginning:
That somehow doesn't show how many stray papers and junk there was. Oh, it probably was on the floor in front of it, :p
End:
These are in no way all my books. My two smaller bookshelfs are still sitting mostly full at my moms house (in my former room, now teenage boy black-light/beer-postered hang out (*cries forever for my awesome room*).
& Just in case you want to try to see what the books are (I know i always do)
Top Shelf: Iching cards with a box of Olympics-themed chopsticks (jeremy's Chinese ex-gf gave them to him), a painting by my really awesome artist/shaumbra friend, Anthony Butkovich, drawing doll, faerie painting, Angel cards.
Second Shelf: Sketchpad, Nametag from Delta Zeta recruitment last fall, Harry Potter, 1st & last twilight, the Samerillion (sp- a lord of the rings prequelish book), Le Morte De Arthur (which is in english) What to expect when you're expecting, a massage book, love signs, Nobody Pasess: Rejecting the rules of gender & conformity, The Making of India, writing pads, middle school yearbooks, Language workbooks/books for Hindi, Arabic & Chinese
tons of random books. The thing on the left of the top shelf is a starish thing my friend/ little ("little sis" in the sorority, i'm her "big sis") got in Japan, where she's been teaching english & dating a soccer player (oolala), the box is a green tea incense kit from Japan from her too, A picture of the Imagine thing in Central Park with the Lyrics, "Baby!" candle one of my sisters made me, a duckie J won for baby at the carnival, the box has my wedding band in it, lol, a friend from Chinese class got us that Ai/Love thingie for our housewarming gift :)
Big books, photo albums, my DZ binder a sister made for me (with my name) genealogy stuffs, etc.
Anyway, feels better now that there is organization! :)
I also scrubbed the counters & swept the kitchen floor and aired out the blankets/sheets, got the bedsheets washed, etc. I can only get things done if i am home alone for extended periods of time, so hopefully J will be gone for a while again tomorrow just so i can clean the bathroom & one day when he's gone for the longest amount of time possible, the closet. DUN DUN DUN.. Closet is huge and a complete wreck. That will take a lot of time & energy & willpower @_@.
