acroyearthere are fewer things more annoying than working your ass off in the garage, knowing you're working your ass off in the garage, feeling you're working your ass off in the garage, and finally contemplating how much you've worked your ass off in the garage...
...only to look at the garage after you've finished and feel like its worse off than it was before you started...
*sigh*
and the craft room, living room, and tv room are all still collective messes and there's only 2 1/2 weekends left to the SnB. yesterdays rain was terribly wrong, 'cause it meant the whole day was utterly wasted as far as the house goes. The house is in that rediculous state, where every other room has things to go in the craft room, which is overloaded because it has too many things that need to go to the garage, which was packed to the gills already and couldn't be touched all winter long. The number of boxes that are 25% crafts, 25% yarn/thread, 30% trash, 10% papers that we simply know we can't throw out but have no idea what to do with otherwise, and 10% important mementos from one year or another that need a proper home, is just astounding...Yes, almost every box is that mix-and-matched. Yes, that means the entire garage is 30% trash or more, but there's no way to weed it all out except one stupid box at a time, which can't be done until the 25, 25, 10, and 10 %'s all have some place to go, which they don't.
part of the problem is that we simply don't have any idea just how much thread, or patterns, or yarn, or cross-stitch kits and threads, or fabric, or candle-making stuffs, or soap-making stuffs there really is, so any plan to put some set of items A into set of drawers B or shelf-set C is absolutely guarenteed to overflow said drawers or shelves by the time its all consolidated. hence a great shadow looms over all, preventing us from even starting the project...
Fellow beer drinkers, this probably means i'm gonna have to take a pass on the beer festival sunday (June 27; saturday was the prepare-for -faire yard sale that cyd and i committed to going to). However, anybody who wishes to park their cars and get a lift to & from the festival site, then hang out in the tv room watching vids until its safe to drive, please feel free. Just let me know who and how many and all that rot. The TV room should be definitely clear by then (that's my project this week after work hours), as we'll hopefully be at the point of just working craft room and/or living room by then, preparing for the week after's SnB.
This week has one, maybe two, mini-morris tours with a touring kids team. one is tuesday in baltimore with one of my teams, the other supposedly in DC on thursday. However, that thursday gig was originally planned for around the capital, which is slated to become a total police state by wednesday for at least 48 hours, so i'm not sure where thursday's gig is gonna wind up...
Potomac Celtic Fest and the annual pig roast for those in the know, next weekend. We'll be at the celtic fest on saturday, and working here on sunday. Headliners include Lunasa, the host band (so to speak) Iona, and a whole slew of acts never before seen on the Potomac festival's stages!

Date: 2004-06-06 07:35 pm (UTC)Ok, this is going to sound a little counter productive, but it has always worked for me in the past.... Don't Try to put stuff into drawer A etc, get an extra couple of boxs and repack *all of it* only this time organize it so that this box is all sewing stuff, this box is all candlemaking stuff etc, in the process you'll be able to get rid of that 30% trash and have that much space, plus you'll have an idea of exactly what you have and how much space you need. Yes it means handling everything twice, but sometimes thats what you have to do.
