Organization

"I have decided that organization is like a garden, it always needs tending or it becomes a jungle..." -Me

*********

Leonardo knocked on the door a little too hard and it swung open to reveal a mountain of mess.
He squinted, "What in the- Megan, are you in here?" A muffled sound came from the left and he waded through the waist high piles of notebooks, sketchbooks, textbooks, markers, pencils, portfolios, all manner of mounting supplies, references, loose leaf paper and whatever else an art student might have lurking in their room. The mumbling was getting louder so he figured he was getting closer. There! He saw movement! Shoving off a mound of blankets and other paraphernalia revealed... a foot. Not the ninja variety but one with five wiggly toes.

He couldn't believe this and rolled his eyes heaven ward, perhaps asking for additional patience. Leo thought Mikey was bad!

"Megan?" He asked just in case.

"Memorie's out of town and Karen is out, who else would it be, Santa?" There was a deadpan pause as she processed her predicament, "Leo, don't you dare say a word!"

He chuckled as he proceeded to dig her out. "Not my territory, I just lecture, remember?"

She groaned, "Don't do that either!" She started to squirm with gusto now. The thought of a Leo-sized lecture was NOT on her agenda.

"What are you doing anyway?" He almost had her out.

"Ug, cleaning/organizing/making room and yeah, whatever else comes to mind." She was free and her face was flush for being upside down for a while. "Well, being right-side up is a nice change of pace!"

"DUUUUDE!" Their attention went to the door. "And I thought I was the master of all disaster! Where are the construction signs and caution tape?"

Megan stuck out her tongue, "I'm organizing thank you very much!"

Michelangelo crossed his arms, "Dudette, this place is sprouting mushroom clouds in every corner!" He closed the door and waded as Leo had. Piles toppled and every now and again he let out a yelp as he lost his footing.

"Here," she said shoving some things into his arms, put that over there. She then gave Leo a box. "Put that near the closet."

Leo looked around. "Uh, sure. Where is it?"

She gave him a dry look, "By the door."

Michelangelo stopped what he was doing and exchanged uneasy glances with Fearless as he also glanced around. "And where's that?"

Megan thoroughly annoyed stopped rummaging and was about to point in one direction then hesitated. She then looked at them and gulped. "Houston, we have a problem."

Yes, I'm organizing and it looks like my room threw up, so guess I'd better get back to work...After I eat something. :D

ROFL

Or at least I would roll on the floor...if I could find it.

What a coincidence. I'm writing too. You might kill me when you see it, but I'll finish it. :D

You think you're stuff is a mess when you organize? I wait until it IS a pile of unorganized rubble.

Then I THINK about re-organizing.

But if I can't find a book I need...

Then I start. LOL
