Are you an organizer or a piler?

As much as I would love to tell you that I am an expert on being organized, I am just not.  I’m a piler.  I make piles.  It drives my husband nuts.  He is an “everything has it’s place” kind of person. Last year we moved into a smaller home.  It’s very nice, in a great area, well taken care of by the owners.  But because it’s a rental, we…
