Editor's Note - January 2016

I am jealous of the organized women in this month’s Tidying Up story by Jennifer Oakley. My desk and closet are a mess, and my husband Michael’s are perfectly organized. Shortly after we were married, Michael planted an empty Kleenex box in our bedroom. He wanted to see how long it would take me to throw it out. A week went by, and I never noticed. He put it in the path between the bedroom and the bathroom. To this day, he insists he saw me kick the box off to the side and keep walking to the bathroom. Also this month, Andria Frankfort writes about Fitbits. When I got one, I found out you can “compete” with friends, or they could cheer you on. I added three friends to “watch” me, and then forgot. One night I got a text asking if I was alive because I had not moved in three days. I had forgotten to sync my steps. But it did get me moving. Here’s to a healthy and tidy New Year.  [email protected]
