February Organizing Tips

1. Make Valentine's Day plans early. Make
     reservations, buy tickets, reserve your
     babysitter.
2. Send very personal Valentine's Day cards
     to your loved ones using your own family
     photos. Go to www.sendoutcards.com/62281
     and click on "Send a free card"
3. Remember those that might be alone with a
     Valentine's surprise.
4. Continue safe winter habits. Keep an eye
     on the weather. Be prepared for delays or
     cancellations.
5. Do you recycle? Make it a habit to take
     recycling out of your house weekly instead of
     letting it pile up.
6. Go through your old tax files and safely destroy
     ones you no longer need. Ask your attorney or
     tax professional how long you must keep your
     old returns.
7. Office Max now offers paper shredding services.
      Cost: 1-5# is 59 cents per pound
        5-10# is 49 cents per pound.
                over 10# is 39 cents per pound.
8. Go through your file cabinet and desk
     drawers. Shred or toss unneeded papers.
9. Make your appointment to have your taxes
     done.
10. Winter clothing is on sale now. Do you have
      clothing that needs to be replaced or updated?
11. Are you using all your coats, hats, sweaters,
       and other winter clothing or can they be
       donated to those in need?
12. Decorate your home for Valentine's Day -
       put the snowmen and last remnants of
       Christmas away.
13. Start a gift closet or designate a shelf for gifts
       you purchase through the year. I've already
       bought a gift for Christmas 2010.
14. Are you hooked on reality TV? Tape the show
       and zip through it quickly.

Winter Driving Tips

1. Plan your trips and stay off the roads if possible
     when they are slick.
2. Park in your garage so you don't have to clean
     off your car.
3. Park in your driveway so the road crews can
     clear your street easily.
4. Keep emergency supplies in your car in case you
     get stuck.
5. If you have a fender bender -
     Call the police and ask them to write a report.
     Exchange information with the other drivers.
     Get their insurance policy number, company
     name and agent name.
     Take a photo of damages to the cars with your
     cell phone.
     Get the model, make, year and license plate
     numbers of all cars.
