Operation Clean Sweep

Some people meditate, others like to exercise, or maybe just lie on the couch and drink a six pack... but when I'm in need of some serious recuperation after a stressful day at work, I need to ORGANIZE. I could look deeper into this, and conclude that I'm attempting to fulfill my need to achieve control in life, but really I just like making things tidy and neat. This is not to say that I have every file alphabetized in my desk, or that I've color coordinated my closet (note to self, color coordinate closet after tax day). Joe can attest that I have messes aplenty, but MAN do I love finding the time to clear out, clean up and organize!

Tonight's agenda? Makeup drawer!!! Insert "before" picture...

Yikes. Commence Operation Clean Sweep.
This may or may not have been part of the reason I take so long to get ready in the mornings... How do I find ANY of my makeup??!?!?! AAAHHHH!!!

SO, I bought a drawer organizer ($7.49 from Target), and went to town on that pile of goop.

Tah-Dah! 
Mission. Accomplished. 

I think I missed my calling to be a professional organizer. If engineering doesn't work out, can I earn a living doing this?
