Fabulous Friday Conga

[Twins' Mom]

Friday again, thank goodness! Conga through the day's activities and be fabulous all the while.

I need to get rolling with my usual Friday straighten up for dcleaning lady. And I need to get myself "organized" for the weekend. I'd like to work with dh some on getting rid of some of the stuff in the garage that came out of our closet. We have dinner company coming for tomorrow night but otherwise have a quiet weekend going.

Surprise! I'm getting my car back this morning - only a week since it went to the shop and the rental was approved for 20 days so I expected a lot longer. Dh went by there earlier in the week and talked to the manager - he was worried about the damage and possible damage to the frame - but I bet that personal contact helped. So I'll go drop off the rental car and they'll take me back to get the Pilot at the shop.

And I need to see dmom today - ended up not going there yesterday - I checked in with dbro and she was napping, and he wanted to take a nap, so I said I'd come today.

Last night got tags on the rest of the smaller rocks. I still need to tag bigger ones but I need to wait for better weather bc I am not hauling em back inside! We are suppose to get rain today. I am not putting em by the river.

I am SO glad I did a p.m. routine last night.

 I used to sometimes pull the car over and start reading if the activity in the back seats warranted. 

That is brilliant!! I can't wait to use it. >>>>grinning big<<<<<

My plans for today include -
** No Homeschool - I am claiming one of the 19 floating "free" days available that are in our homeschool schedule.
** Weekly declutter/deep cleaning - Bedrooms

** 11:30 DS8 appt with counselor

Good morning- can't sign into xfinity on my computer hav a wonderful day

Good morning! Spring has sprung and left. After a week of temperatures in the seventies, there is snow on the ground in Work City. To keep the new cat company, I worked in the sewing room. Two boxes are off the floor and put away. Some things from the table also. I found three nearly done projects that need only weaving in of yarn. They are on the LR sofa for completion (if I ever have time to relax on the LR sofa). I got yesterday's WTFs done and have made the list for today: 2 DPCs and send some pictures from my home email. My church group is eating Chinese today. If there is time afterward, I will let the new cat out supervised. Maybe work on those UFOs. This weekend, I would also like to determine when/if I am going to be doing anything requiring vacation days with DD15.

I thought I was the only person in the US who had her baby while asleep. Lucylee proves me wrong. I have a phobia of needles to the spine and refused consent. I have no regrets whatsoever.

I am almost done with my lunchtime book. I have determined why I don't like it. It is just like Married with Children set in the 1800s. Nasty, unpleasant people behaving badly toward one another and everyone else. A friend explained the appeal of MWC as "people you love to hate". I guess I don't love to hate people. I watched exactly one episode of MWC and I will read exactly one book from this author. It is part of the Gower Street Detective series by M.R.C. Kasasian if you want to avoid it, or, conversely, if you are a MWC fan.

I know why young women are going vintage. They hate the trampy carp marketed to their age group. My own DD15 wants to shop for clothes with her grandmothers. That is how bad the stuff for teens has gotten. I wish the x's great aunt Inez was still alive. VERY stylish, but always comfortable stuff. DD couldn't do better than copying her.

Wow, 38 items out of your wardrobe? Way to go, Lynlee.

I've backslid on weight so my wearable wardrobe is shrinking. Pun not intended!

I'm up. I had a rough time getting to sleep due to high discomfort, bordering on pain, but once I was asleep, I did well. Got up at 4 but was back to bed for a good length of time after that and never felt my fitbit alarm.

I've had breakfast. Bedroom is tidied and I've worked on the vaporizers. The towel under the main one was soaked. I'm not sure if it is leaking or if it is overboiling. It has taken to making a big hum so I shut it off at 4 but the room was also well humidified at that point so lasted easily until morning. I have a second one which I've moved into position. This one is not as aggressive so may have trouble keeping the humidity up. On the other hand, warm weather is coming and we need it for only a few more weeks, I hope.

We are in the middle of a terrific snowstorm today. Unforecast. They called for flurries and then 2 cm over the day and we have 6 cm - over 2" - down already and no sign of it letting up. It is close to freezing though, so I opened both bedroom windows in an attempt to get the damper air into the room.

My next to-do is the sermon. I went over it while eating breakfast. All that is left is to come up with an opening and closing.

Hi everyone!!

My kitchen is DONE!! ~ happy dancing here~

I have the music on really loud and I am clearing off the island and finally putting everything back on the other counters. Not everything is going back where it was. While I was doing that, I started clearing stuff off my desk and moving various things in here. All the measuring stuff is hanging on the end of the shelf that is right across from the doorway. Much closer to the actual kitchen.

On Tuesday dh and I were talking about meals for the rest of the week, so Wed., Thurs. and Friday were all pre-planned, which kind of made my job easier for those 3 nights. Tonight we are having beef ribs with fettucine alfredo as the side with peas or corn (my choice) to go along with that.

I would like to go for a swim sometime between now and 1. There is a yakker in the pool between 1 and 3 every day and I want to avoid her. She also gets in the way as she meanders all over the place as she walks/swims.

Dishes are washing themselves- roasted veggies for tonight's dinner- a load of laundry in washer and in dryer - dang it my towels I washed yesterday smell like grease a bit and have to rewash them
