SHEs Organized

We spent the day afternoon into evening at the river yesterday. Was a wonderful day - cool but not too cool, sunny, we were outside most the day. Dh and A went for a hike, V and I hung out on the deck overlooking the river. Both of their dds came by for a visit at different times, very enjoyable day.

Hoping for quiet day today - dh bowls this evening. I'd really like to hang out here some....

BSweet - Happy Anniversary! How many years?

After being in extreme drought status for weeks, we received 4.5" of rain in the last 24 hours and have the possibility of another half in of rain today. The rain was immediately soaked up by the thirsty ground and there isn't even a puddle showing we received rain.

I need some accountability to get some things accomplished. I am very good at keeping busy doing other things with the result of letting some things slide for days...weeks. Wondering how many points can I score in the ACCOUNTABLITY GAME today?

I am going for these points -
1 point - fold and put away blue fluffy blanket that has been in the living room for days.
10 points - finish organizing the garden seed container.
5 points - fill my vitamin container for the month

service celebrated all saints/all souls day.
very touching service
For me it is A good day to celebrate family and friends. Thinking of all of them.

tossed in laundry
washed counters well
mom is staying home for now - I got her breakfast - dd older gave her meds so I didn't have to go over there this morning.
sink shiny

next give kitty her shot.
pull corn cobs that have been sitting in front of the garage - I was too distracted to put them up before now!
I will look for ribbon in the thanksgiving box

my neighbor knows my dogs are on an electric fence and will stand there with their dog - My dogs bark - I stop the dogs from barking right away - they go out in front when I am in front. I was in the garage. The neighbors stayed there enjoying the show- while I had a low talk with my dogs to calm down. The neighbors stayed there as I held the dogs by their collar. The neighbors took a good watch for a bit and eventually moved on - people watching (them watching me) must be as fun as watching dogs barking. It kind of reminded me of a squirrel on the bottom limb of a tree - telling the dogs off. I should have said there was nothing to see because I had the dogs quiet I am glad I and my dogs gave them entertainment! I found it so funny (even though at first I was a touch annoyed)

Accountability Game status =
Points available to earn -
10 points - finish organizing the garden seed container.
5 points - fill my vitamin container for the month

Points earned today -
1 point - fold and put away blue fluffy blanket that has been in the living room for days.

Starting slow but at least I did something. Because I am so good at distracting myself from doing things I am going to continue to play this game. BTW - there are no rules for the accountability game. If you want to play make your own rules as you see fit.

Instead of doing things to earn myself 15 points i wen to the kitchen and did things I love to do. Creative cooking with focus on prepping single ingredients. Single ingredients that are ready to eat -
Protein -
** chicken tenders
** Catfish filets
** chili
** pork steaks
** turkey salad
** yogurt multiple flavors & styles
** Cottage cheese
Added today =
** bacon
** sausage patties
** calf liver (in progress)

Vegetables=
** sauteed peppers
** salsa
** chopped onions (raw)
** Carrot sticks (raw)
** Celery sticks (raw)
** Tomatoes (raw)

Carbs -
** Bread - 4 kinds
** Rice

Fruit -

I will finish the couple dishes in progress and then call it good nuf. Enough food is on hand so everyone can choose what they want to eat. Now I need to turn my attention to something else. ....maybe the accountability game?

all of it sounds wonderful d lady!!!
