If you are anything like me, you are a piler. You have a pile for mail, a pile for the magazines, a pile for crafty stuff, a pile for shoes... well you get the idea. Now my piles are much more organized than say back in my high school and college days-- thank goodness for fabric bins which contain my "piles"-- and we won't talk about all the piles of papers I had back when I was a teacher... But with the variety of mail we get flyers, magazines, bills, personal notes, junk mail, and random bits of paper with our names and address on them... our mail pile has taken over-- taken over the counter, the dining room table, the desk. AND it comes everyday, except Sunday. There's no post on Sunday... good thing we aren't witches/wizards who can get owl post every day of the week. Actually scratch that I'd rather be a witch and get mail every day of the week. I'd have a wand and magic to help me with all my boring day to day chores.
Anyway while I pout that yet again I didn't get to head off to Hogwarts this past September 1st let us get back to this mail issue. In short, we have not come up with a good system since moving into this house. Our system as it stands... it piles. We get sick of the pile and sort. Things get thrown out and other things get shredded and other stuff finds a new pile to be filed.
