Home Sweet Home Monday

[blessedw2]

I decided to go to the store because I worry about the rest of the week. I had run out of some things I hadn't expected. everything is put away.
I have a freezer full and I feel comfortable with knowing it is. praying for that freezer not to break in that weather we are having wednesday.

I am trying to talk myself into finishing the weekly home blessing. I know I would be happier if I vacuumed the first floor and did a swish and swipe in powder room. dh probably won't be happy. I need to rinse the kitchen floor and the front hall.

ta ta for now.

Just found a report bug by sheer chance. I made simple formatting changes and looked at the report. Because there were no data changes, I just grabbed at random from the selection boxes. And found that if all the clients are no shows, the report is empty. Have to find out what the users want me to do in that situation. And I thought my afternoon task was going to be simple!

I need to add two DPCs to my list. If I had some info I need, I could do it now. Tonight, I should order my glasses and continue with the church webwork. Maybe I should do something active since dance class is cancelled.

finished my home blessing. I didn't wash the first floor as tomorrow dh is changing the cat litter - or I may surprise him and get it done so he doesn't have to. This way I can wash the floor! so exciting

wishing you a great evening.

You know, thinking about Barbie dolls... I never was much for creating clothes for mine, but to this day, sometimes I see packing materials (like the Styrofoam pieces that cushion electronics, etc) and I'll think, "That would make a great ____ (couch, hot tub, whatever) for a Barbie doll." My best friend and I spent hours playing with Barbies and neither of us ever had the fancy houses and things for them that kids get today; we had to improvise.

Today, I have actually been somewhat productive! Had to get busy with s2s as soon as I got up b/c the bug lady was coming. Realized I needed to do something with the vacuum cleaner, which had been in my closet doorway for four days. Finished vacuuming the bedroom and bathroom... put away the clothes that were hanging to dry on the closet door frame... s/s all the bathrooms... washed the pan and spoon that had been in the sink since yesterday... brought the garbage can back to the house... PLUS s2s!
After she left, dh and I went to pick up dgs, and ran errands to the bank, drug store, and gas station.
I think we are ready for the snow storm.
It's funny, I wore a t-shirt and a very light jacket all day today. It was so sunny and nice, and it''s already clouding up and feels colder, although it's still 55 degrees. I think it was almost 60 earlier today... and then tonight... * whew * down to 25. NOTHING like those people in MN and Chicago and all that area, though, right? I cannot even imagine cold temps like that!

Doing laundry now. And cooking supper. DDIL is bringing us red beans and rice and Cajun rice from Popeye's and I'm doing fish fillets.

I'm also trying to decide if peel and stick wallpaper would work for that bathroom I've told y'all about, where the old wall paper has curled up and started separating from the wall. I got a catalog today that had some peel and stick "shiplap" wallpaper and dh said, "Yes, that would look good; I was just thinking we needed to do something in there. Order it." After all these years, he says we need to do something??? Whatever...
Have any of you had any experience with this stuff -- peel and stick, NOT pre-pasted.
It's from the L T D C ommodoties catalog, if any of you are familiar with that company. Their stuff is pretty cheap, but I'm thinking just about anything would be an improvement in this bathroom.
A roll, 20 1/1" x 216" is $29.99. My space is two strips of 96" x 23 1/2", (each side of the mirror) and 48" x 23" above the mirror.

Watched a bit ot net flicks a 50 min. Eposode of a series Medici of season two, then I headed back outside for another round of yard work the sun came out that was so good to see. Got all the branches loaded on the trailer, we can secure it and haul it off one of these weekends. I am so happy to have it loaded.

We will have another load later on but those have not been pruned or dug out yet.
It is coffee time! (__)P

It's been good to read here today but never enough time to post. Lynlee I enjoyed your description. Twins' I wanted so much to post back to you this am but could not.

Still not headed home. Long day long story. Tobias will be appalled.

Dinner is over but not cleaned up. Two oven pans, 2 plates, 2 glasses, I think they'll wait until the breakfast dishes tomorrow. Seems like a waste of water to even 1/3 fill the sink now.

I'm having trouble focusing. Real trouble. The week is slipping away from me (I'm out all day Wednesday and a lot of Thursday.) My muse is in hiding.

Printed off the February Declutter 365 calendar. At least 8 of the days are already done. Things like set up a recycle centre are just part of how we live. We have a dedicated centre in the kitchen that dh uses and I direct guests to. Each office desk has paper recycle next to it. Once a week, all those are emptied into bags in the laundry room that have handles for carrying it all downstairs. I put my cans directly into the can bag because it is handier for me to use it.
