I have not been able to post for a while...

...but today I had lunch with Maureen, who is homesick. I asked her to describe her home to me, and she said it is filled with objects that solve problems she doesn't have: cufflink organizers; racks for neckties, decorative spoons and magazines; coupon folders. She collects containers and organizers of all kinds. She has one display case for her greeting card organizers, and another one for her knitting needle cases. She has a cabinet filled with spice racks, and in each spice rack, she keeps pillboxes and make-up bags.

She says that it's more important to be organized than anything else, and she's having trouble organizing her things here.
