She leaned back, took a long look around, and sighed in satisfaction.
He’d love it. She was sure he would.
It took three full weeks and dozens of hours, but now every piece of paper he’d ever owned was alphabetized and catalogued. The photos organized by color, location, and main character. The receipts tagged and ranked by preference: favorite things first, the things he’d never order again, last.
He was due home by nightfall. She could only imagine his delight.
The office was transformed. So was the garage. She even organized the nets and oar for an artistic touch. Bronzed all his mementos so they matched.
No more desk and drawers. No more folders. No more boxes with a mishmash of photos and cards. Goodbye to letters stacked together by arbitrary designations of correspondence, when they could be more logically sorted by zip code (or when there was none noted, ordered alphabetically by addressee’s given name and divided by paper-type).
It had been a Herculean task, but she was undaunted. Who but her would take it on to help him out?
She couldn’t wait to show him how she’d got him all caught up.

Oh, dear. I do hope he likes and appreciates it. If not, in the words of the Kaiser Chiefs – I predict a riot.

Oh, dear indeed … I have a feeling that her ‘filing system’ is not exactly the one he would have liked … and good luck finding anything in it … 😉 Comes to show, communication is key … oh oh … 😉

What she needs is a detailed key map on the wall (and somewhere to hide, perhaps).

Yeah, something tells me he’d be more likely to want to strangle her … 😉 Comes to show — it is not always the thought that counts … (or rather, let the thought remain a thought and COMMUNICATE intentions first … ;))
Thank you, Dale! 🙂

I bet he hates it. He’ll never be able to find anything again. She will so regret what she’s done. Oh, I don’t want to be anyplace near when he opens that door.

LOL!!! Yep, I recommend not being ANYPLACE NEAR when he realizes what she’d applied her ‘organizational skills’ to. … 😉
