On Saturday, hubby decided he wanted his walk-in closet to also be walk-innable. I'm pretty sure he was inspired by my own much-better closet and our much nicer master bedroom. When I said I just might take a picture for the blog, he put a few things back, saying he wanted full credit. He's so cute. I know that the difference may not look huge … [Read more...]
Crazy Cleaning Day
Well, not as crazy as it could be. Today I'm trying to notice all the details. Translated, I'm hoping I don't miss something gross or embarrassing in my house since my husband's office co-workers are coming over tonight. I'm pretty much done except for vacuuming and mopping and setting up the food and drinks tables. Thankfully, I'm not … [Read more...]
Christmas Decorating – OH THE BOXES!!!
Today, we're decorating the house for Christmas. Shhh. I know that we should wait until after we've fully enjoyed Thanksgiving, but if we don't get it done now, there won't be a time to do it. And we're going to my mom's on Thursday anyway. I know. Excuses. Last year, after Christmas, I made an effort to get rid of stuff I didn't use … [Read more...]
Enjoying My Office!!!
I finally finished painting the office last week, and I have been really happy with the color. The only problem was that I hadn't put it back together yet. So although the walls were pretty, the room was in total chaos. The furniture was still shoved together in the middle of the room. And as long as the furniture was still in chaos, I kept … [Read more...]
I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done!
Obnoxious title, I know. But I'M DONE!!!!!! I have officially gone back over every square inch of the walls in my office and removed the ever-so-lovely teeny tiny bits of wallpaper and then gone back over them again with the scrubby side of a sponge, and then gone back over them again with the sponge side of the sponge. Whew! I'm tired. If … [Read more...]
Seasonal Clothing Changeover – Done in ONE DAY!!!
I shared yesterday that I had finally given in and done the changeover from Summer clothes to Fall/Winter clothes. It's a big task that has to be done, twice a year. It's not the task itself that I'm so proud of, it's that I'm finished! You wouldn't even know from walking in the living room that I just did it yesterday! For me, this is a very big … [Read more...]
Go Ahead, Open the Door!
I've been working on this room, honestly, for years. I get it cleaned up for some event when I want people to be able to get to the bathroom in the back corner, and then before I know it, it is a disaster again. So what's different this time? I hope it's me that's different. In this process I'm going through to change my slobbish ways, I'm doing … [Read more...]
Done . . . Whew!
I did it. I cleaned off my desk. I did NOT feel like it, but I did it. Sometimes when I don't feel like it, I'll get into the mood once I get started. Not this time. I never got into the mood, but I didn't quit. I really sound crabby today, and I'll blame that on Billy Blanks. My thighs are killing me after doing a new tae-bo video this … [Read more...]
Thank Goodness for Tackle it Tuesday!
I have issues. If you've read this blog before, you already know that. If you haven't, it won't take long for you to figure it out. I'm a slob, BUT I don't like to waste time. Doesn't make sense at all, right? Issues. I love Tackle it Tuesday (this linky party is no longer live.) It seems pretty much tailor-made for this blog. I'm … [Read more...]
