What's your best tip or trick for keeping your closet organized?

• i have almost all my shoes in the boxes they came in.  every time i wear a pair i make sure they go back t to their resting place and i make sure to wipe them down with a Lysol wipey.  
  
• i have all my handbags in cloth bags to keep them clean and in order.
• i make sure to go through my closets every so often and pull clothing i am no longer wearing or fit. 
  
• when i purchase a new article of clothing i look for an old item i no longer need and donate it.

Wow, what a crazy and busy weekend we had.  I am done cleaning out my closet, finally...but I still have one more to conquer..ugh!  I went through 3 boxes of old stuff as I mentioned before and I could not believe the things I had saved, it felt like a time warp.  I found old letters from boyfriends, lame diaries that don't make any sense.  I sat and read through some of them plus letters and they were so lame and a total waste of time.  I had a couple friends from school that ended up in jail and I had letters from them too, still!  I don't eve know where they are now and don't really care to keep in touch with them now either.  I found check stubs from my very first job at a pizza place, directions to my first real job (where I met T, btw), phone messages from when I lived with my ex-best friend....I guess I had not looked at this stuff since I got married back in April 1994.  I was only 20 when I got married so I must have packed up all my crap and never looked at it again.  I did keep some of it and the rest I threw out...  I've got to post a pic of me with my disco hair.  OMG, so hilarious!  Funn how life changes and how  much we change for the better and the worst.  I'm so glad I am where I am now because back then I know I was only asking for trouble.  I've made the right decisions and I'm very happy now.  Thank GAWD!

We splurged on 2 nice dinners this weekend and went to see Children of Men. Can someone please explain this movie to me?  I have my thoughts and I've read through the reviews but it was a crazy movie.   A must see. I've never seen anything like it...

On a much sadder note...I got a call from my bro on Sunday morning, about 3:00am that my mom's brother passed away from a heart attack.  Gosh, I thought what else could go wrong?  Mom has had it bad for a while now and I thought after my grandmother passing away last April that mom would begin to feel better,or at least her heart would heal just a bit.  Evidently not.  I said goodbye to her on their way to the airport to fly to Mexico and I felt so bad for my poor mother.  I could never imagine what it would feel to lose a member of my family.  I don't even want to imagine.  She has already lost her mother, father and two brothers-this will be her third.  She has 4 sisters left and 1 brother.  She will be back next week and I can't even imagine what I could tell her to make her feel better.  Perhaps just being with her will help...

Life must go on...

Mom and I are almost done with ordering her shutters.  We made it to Lowe's this morning, set up the measuring installation and I even got some other chores out of the way that I forgot about.  I have been putting off one of my major tasks of organizing my closet.  I had to replace my shoe racks because they were old and yukky.  Today I went through some of my old shoes and will be donating them to our church tomorrow.  I also got another plastic tub to store my sweaters.  Now I need to get another storage tub and put away all my old sneaker that I don't wear anymore, hi tops, Jordans, etc.   T and Mom say I should really make better use of our closets.  I guess they are right, I've just been lazy and careless about it.  What's new? You know, as much as I hate clutter I can't believe I have not concentrated on cleaning the out! 

Ugh!!!

Well at least one of my goals is almost complete.
