SHEs Organized

Hey, ya'll, here are some quotes from birthday folk.

“We would fight, not for the political future of a distant city, rather for principles whose destruction would ruin the possibility of peace and security for the peoples of the earth.”- Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain

"The very essence of a free government consists in considering offices as public trusts, bestowed for the good of the country, and not for the benefit of an individual or a party." - Vice President John C. Calhoun

“And still the question, "What shall be done with our ex-Presidents?" is not laid at rest; and I sometimes think Watterson's solution of it, "Take them out and shoot them," is worthy of attention” - President Grover Cleveland in 1889. Four years later Cleveland was President again after winning the 1892 election. Cleveland was the only person to be an ex-President twice.

If a good salesman comes here I ring up his firm and tell them to send a bad salesman because I refuse to be talked into something I don’t want.
- Dick Smith, Australian entrepreneur

It isn't reasonable to expect that everyone in the world is a country music fan. Not yet, anyway. - Charley Pride

How'd I do, Lynlee?

Cheery health wishes to Harmony and Kathryn.

Today is the first day of the rest of your Focus Cleaning Schedule! Check out "Focus - Getting Started", and the new week's thread, in the Organization and Simplification Tools forum to join in our Second Round of 2013. Back to Porch and Entry this week. Does your entryway need attention?

My household story is back-to-school intensity. This is mid-term exam week, project week, make-up week, etc. And dd has promised some extra-curricular time as well, so I don't know how that will work yet. Dd couldn't give much time to school work over the weekend, so every evening this week will need to be heavy on the concentration. I'm glad some shopping, etc. was gotten out of the way. If I do have errands HRH can't handle, I'll be doing them alone and not taking so much as a minute from dd.

Good morning, Harriet, and all to come.

Trying to get gd out of bed. Have to leave in 15 minutes. Have a signed paper for her to take into school regarding electronics. Of course there never were allowed but she insists on sneaking them in. Know dd said gd texted her from school on Thursday. Naturally gd told her she had permission (NOT). DD is not telling them at school that gd won't be coming some time after spring break. Waiting for a more definite date. Gd doesn't know yet that she's been accepted. They'll tell her tomorrow night as the rep will be here on Wednesday morning for the final interview. Now praying for the monthly fee to come from somewhere. (especially since dsonil has been out of work for nearly a year).

Have to do the last minute things and get on my way. later..........

Good morning, villagers ~
After 3 days of socializing and working to other people's schedules (and having to do other people's work ), yesterday I stayed in with a pj day.
* Fixed cat food and people food, in that order
* caught up on Email and Facebook
* slept
and that's pretty much all.

There weren't many dirty dishes piled up so I've done most of them already this morning.

Today's 5x5:
* Pay bills
* 1 load of laundry (I pushed last week to have it all caught up before sewing retreat.)
* Read newspapers that have been set aside for 7 days.
* Finish bringing sewing tools, projects, and file box in from the car. (Saturday night I got home so late that I only brought in the things that would be damaged by temperature under freezing.)
* Go to post office and sewing group's bank deposit

Snow today.

This evening I need to start writing articles for the sewing group newsletter. I'm still too brain dead this morning to even think of a topic.

Just dropping in to say good morning and see ya later.

Woodcarving all week and I'll be late this morning as I slept in. We went to bed without the comforter on the bed as it has been warm. During the night my sweet DH covered me up. So I slept like a rock - a nice warm rock.

I'm here.

At least physically. Not sure where my head is. Lots to worry about. Weird dreams last night. Was trying to do my mom's taxes but couldn't find last year's file to open, only 2010's. And there was a weird dream about driving (someone else was driving) but that's fading so I can't remember what was wrong there but something was.

I've done my exercising, physio and s2s. Had breakfast too. Got out of bed around 7:45 and didn't make it down to breakfast until 10 and my hair isn't dry and styled. Did remember to email dd, sending her money for her birthday.

Need to get motivated and do something before choir at 1:30.

Morning y'all...

Lost in my closet.... This is a love-hate job. I hate doing it, but love the results. Just can't seem to convince Willis that I don't need his assistance. He's a nosy little guy
