I also love Mexican food, the table setting, and paper calendars. Call me a dino but I HAVE to have a paper calendar lol. I'm lost without them.

Much of my office is organized in what my dad called the compost method - layer it onto the pile. If it's important, you'll pull it out and put it on top when you need it. Otherwise, it sinks to the bottom and decomposes.
