Subject: If You Do Just One Thing: Organize Your Earrings
Date: August 2, 2010
I love getting the daily e-mails I signed up for from Real Simple, a magazine targeted at busy women trying to streamline their lives to make room for what’s really important. I clicked on the link to the article, thinking it read, “If You Do Just One Thing, Organize Your Earnings.” I was excited at the prospect of getting my personal banking under control in three easy steps.
Your Keep-It-Together Check List
Prevent a mad morning search for your earring’s mate by displaying your hoops and chandeliers on sturdy wire attached to a pretty painted frame.
I can see wanting to prevent a mad morning search for your human mate, but how would having orderly accessories help me? There can’t possibly be that many women wanting this information.
I wanted to learn how to be more efficient with my money, not with dressing myself. The Professor pays bills automatically. I think it happens while he is sleeping. All accounts payable are set up to be paid up to a certain amount. If it’s over the pre-approved limit, he gets a copy of the bill e-mailed to him for review. I am still dealing in papercuts and stamp glue highs. I realize that is akin to getting on my horse and going over to the trading post to drop off some eggs as payment for the flour I got to make bread last week, but what do you want from someone who still reads the paper on paper?
That article is ridiculous and borderline offensive. I know this makes me sound like I really do ride around on a horse to do my errands, but the article and Lady Gaga’s popularity are signs that the end is near. I can only hope that it is quick, painless and happens before banks stop using paper checks.
