but I don’t always remember them. I am going to start remembering them, but it will be easier if I can fold them up small and just have them with when I need them. Have to think on this… How can I make a denim bag fold into something much smaller?
Each time I see this thing, I do it. Now how do I put it in front of me all day?
Helped Monkey make scones yesterday, and they were wonderful! An excellent reason to do it again.
These are such fun books, I’m working on the last one now- when I can get it away from my 12 y/o. :)
So close!!! I forgot how big my basement can be when it’s not cluttered up with junk! What I’ve done so far looks wonderful. Now to get rid of the extraneous stuff that’s not mine.
Have to call my sister and see if I can get her to come take it away for me.
I’m thinking a super light minty green, or a light lemony yellow. Wonder how much paint I’ll need…
worked a bit on this this afternoon. It’s so pleasing to open new space and organise what needs it. I now have an even bigger pile of stuff to be donated, and may go for another round to tidying this evening.
and I love having funny stickers on my car, so I can watch people read them and have a laugh at the red light.
I still have a secret affaire with the snooze button, but when I do get myself out of bed, I don’t feel compleatly horrible and immediately try to dive back under the covers. Coffee or black tea fixed just the way I like it helps. Also, going directly to the shower, and waking up that way is good, too. I don’t think I’ll ever give up the snooze, but as long as I control the snooze and it doesn’t control me….. Sounds vaguely familiar, but I swear, I’m not addicted…. ;)
Does it count if I’m a morning person only on days when I need to be up early? Seems like it should. Also, it’s kind of weird that on the days I have to be at work early I have an easier time getting moving in the morn. On my late days, the snooze is still my bane and I stagger around for hours trying to remember what I’m supposed to be doing. It feels like I’m almost there… maybe I just need to get into a routine on my late days to allow me to get into the groove a bit easier…. Have to work on that.

if the bleeding plumbing doesn’t get fixed soon! AAAKKKK! I hate pipes! I loathe clogs! I resist all attempts to back the drains up!!! Now, if it would all just go away…. Going to a happy place now….
Working full time has provided me with the motive to try to get things done whenever I have time. The problem is, nothing stays done! Gak… Laundry, dishes, these just keep on coming! Maybe I could eventually catch up if I play tortoise to my workday hare… hmmm. In the meantime, I am up and about like a normal person, rather than sitting on my but being a waste all day! Yay me!!
I used to drink herb tea all the time, but somehow got out of the habit. Now it’s coffee all the way, even though I’ve cut it from a pot a day to 2 or 3 cups a day (Yay!) So I want to add tea to the mix because the only other thing I drink usually is water, which can get a bit boring if I’m looking for something with… flavor. Also, herb tea can be really good for you too, and I can use all the nutritious stuff I can get.

A seriously negative side effect of not being in the garden, is that stuff you don’t want there will grow while you’re not paying attention. I have enough poison ivy growing on the garage to go around the world with… aaak.
You can’t spend money you never get, right? Well, with my nifty new job came a nifty new retirement plan! Ha! The theory of PROnoia strikes again… the universe is working for me rather than against. So, automatic savings=good! A step in the right direction!!
