Finally! I found Andrew's other sandal. Andrew finally decided it was time to wear his sandals again, so I had to remember where I'd last seen them. I knew I'd recently had one out didn't know where the other was. Well, I found the one that was still put away but couldn't remember where the right sandal was. I began digging in all the boxes in the closet. In the process Jacque decided to sort through some of her boxes. Now our room is a total mess -- it doesn't look as if we cleaned at all. However, we really did throw away a ton of stuff! I did find the right sandal downstairs in the closet, so everything's all good.

In the process of cleaning I found three books: Hard Times by Charles Dickens, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas. I've been wanting to read some more of Dickens and am curious to read Hard Times for myself. I was wondering where I had put Pride and Prejudice. I've been looking for it for two years! The Count of Monte Cristo just sounds interesting.

Cleaning and organizing is so much fun. It's amazing to find the cool stuff you lost. The feeling of accomplishment I get when I rid myself of unwanted clothes, papers, etc. is really cool, too.
