I use my MemoPad feature to keep lists. I used to have a very cute planner - with all my lists that I had to continually update. Aggravating! Now I use the MemoPad feature on my BlackBerry. Here is an example of some lists I keep: Amazon.com sign in information Clothes (when I see I need a new pair of shoes, for example, I type it into my Blackberry - this way when I find myself with some time to kill by the mall, I can get what I need) Grocery Ideas And I backup my BlackBerry once a week and then backup my computer, so if anything should happen to my baby - I mean BlackBerry, I'm covered. It's easy to use this feature: Select MemoPad Click the BlackBerry button Name your list Start Typing You will always have information at your fingertips - saving you time and money.

My definition of "being organized" - I can find whatever I need in a minute or less. What's your definition of "being organized"?

MSN Money has a great article on "stuff". What's it costing you? http://ping.fm/Huccf

I will be walking with Team Jazzercize at this year’s relay on Friday June 5 th and Saturday June 6 th at New Prairie High School.

Hay! Just tip it!

I purchased this three compartment rolling laundry sorter from The Container Store. It is wheeled, so it easily pulls out from the closet. One section is for lights, one for darks and one for socks and underwear. I have another hamper in the bathroom for towels. This saves me so much time! I no longer have to sort everything before I do the laundry. In case you are wondering, on the door of my closet hangs an over the door shoe wrangler . I use mine to organize my socks and pantyhose. I can see everything I have so retrieval is super easy. http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?CATID=77003& PRODID =60090
