Whew!! Aren't you sorry you started reading this?

I have learned some valuable things here:

1. I need to keep a waste basket next to my side of the bed
2. I need to put my knitting needles away when I'm done with them
3. Look carefully before you stick your hand into a box of crap you just cleaned off a surface (can we say "sharp sewing needle"??)
4. I really need a professional organizer (who works for free or for knitting) to help me!!!!

Okay, obviously I have some cleaning to do......
