I know the vast majority of my posts are about organizational tools. I find order soothing. Today, I received a great compliment. "Michelle, you should teach classes about how to be a real life adult." Little did she know I'm still taking the course...
I bought a shelf similar to the one above. Except prettier, and one hundred dollars cheaper. I have put the vast majority of my belongings on it, freeing up approximately 20 square feet. It has taken the place of the filing cabinet, and then some. This means I now have room for house guests, so bring it on.
How did I finally get the filing cabinet open? I took a hammer and physically pried open one of the drawers. I then covered every moving surface (and many of my files) with WD-40 (I am my father's daughter). I then invited Andrew to pull them all out. He felt exceedingly manly about being able to conquer the beast until I mentioned the WD-40...
Just wait- the next blog just may be about the beautiful new pants hangers that I diligently researched and requested for my birthday. And don't pretend you don't care. I know for a fact two of you actually enjoy the same shelf love I do.

Wait ALL of us?
Not only do I appreciate your shelf, but I had two (yes, TWO!) of them at my former place of employ. Because sometimes it's hard to know where to keep extra power supplies, A/V cables, 5" reflecting telescopes, extension cords, antiquated solar system projectors (and I mean 50+ years old), rubber balls with rope taped on for comet simulations and extra Mars globes.
I want to come visit!!! What's the weather like? :)
I love the new shelving unit, although my classroom never looked it, I love order too, I'm just inherently lazy.
And those HANGERS! Awesome.
