I was on an organizational kick this weekend, thanks to my new SeaGate FreeAgent Desk 1 500GB External Hard Drive – that’s techie talk for “lots of memory.” Ever since I bought it a month ago, I’ve been anticipating the day when I could back up and organize all my digital photos in one place.

Well, the day finally arrived this weekend, and by late yesterday the bulk of the work was finished. The digi-photos, which had been eating up all my laptop’s memory, are now neatly labeled and swimming around in the SeaGate with plenty of room to spare. All that remains to be done is to store the back up CDs and the corresponding hardcopies of their thumbnail prints into my nifty little storage albums.

After I gave myself a well-deserved pat on the back, I jotted a note on today’s to-do list: Send the small church update today. Feeling very organized, I reached for the notes I took last night at small church.

But I couldn’t find them.

Hmm…I was sure I had moved them from one spot to a more organized spot earlier this morning, but couldn’t picture where that more organized spot was. So I retraced my steps.

I still couldn’t find them.

Now I’m taking a little break, hoping something will jiggle loose, either in my brain or my office and the notes will show up.

In the meantime, I’ve had it with organization…at least until SeaGate comes out with enough gigabytes to organize my entire life.

Harrumph.
