Or, perhaps like my husband, who as a newlywed, gave me an organizer 
because he thinks they're neat. and that everyone would just LOVE to 
have one.  According to his reasoning, why would anyone not want one?  
He thought it was the perfect gift. It had the potential to change me, 
revolutionize my life even.  Now he knows that it's hopeless--nothing 
is going to  make me super organized.  I do, however, give him a 
leather-bound engagement diary ever year, and he adores it.

Barbara Roberts (Ivogun), who cracks up laughing thinking of the 
organizer gift.
