memories...

even though i only met my beau 3 short years ago, i love watching his bar mitzvah video. and don't worry, i'm not obsessed--i've only seen it twice (the first time we watched it on VHS--he actually had a VHS player then). but when we moved recently, i made him take that jalopy to the safe recycling center. i'm glad the boyfriend had the video transferred to DVD format a little while back. so as part of date night, we watched it again last eve. things like this always help to remind me that easy access to precious memories is one of the best reasons to stay organized. 

ps: happy birthday adam!!

I Would Love To...

... Organize the heck out of this room. This space belongs to my boyfriend--he likes to call it his smoking lounge (even though no one smokes in there). He's a screenwriter and therefore has tons of books and DVDs (and has recently started collecting Blu Ray DVDs...) I honestly don't have an issue with the mass amounts of DVDs and books (just the overwhelming display of them in this teeny room). He actually doesn't have enough room to store all of the DVDs (the rest are stacked in piles on the floor). I'm fine with the books staying put but I would love for him to purchase a vintage dresser or hutch and store all the DVDs inside. Or put the disks in CD binders with a corresponding notebook that lists his collection. I imagine that it would be so much nicer (and easier) to flip through a list and pick out a movie to watch (one day).
