~check your voice mail.

: organize those files on your desk that you have been putting off FOREVER.

- ORGANIZE your closet, take your unwanted, unworn clothes to the local thrift store.

~untangle a necklace.

: FIND that one lost clothes item that is somewhere in the back of your closet

- test pens and markers and throw out the old ones

~ arrange your hangers so they all face the same way

: CLEAN OUT your purse

- go through your medicine drawer, cabinet, or box and THROW OUT expired prescriptions.

~ write that THANK YOU NOTE that you haven't written yet (probably from Christmas)

: CREATE an emergency kit for your car... never know when a BLIZZARD will hit!
