Tossing More Than Just 27 Things...

Today is a day for getting RID of things. Things we no longer need. Things that just get in the way. Like lotion samples and perfume that smells like Great Aunt Bessie. Like toothpaste tubes that we've never liked the flavor of. Toss 'em. You don't need 'em. Oh, sure, there could be some great... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank God for the Journal

Today is officially an Executive Day Off...due to some trauma on the homefront. Nothing that involves immediate family; we're fine....just some wounds from the past that are trying to fester. In my world, if you're going to be family, one needs to behave like family. That means loyalty and... Sign in to see full entry.

I Could Be Wrong...

Still flinging things, as the FlyLady suggested. Husband looked confused as a pile of sweaters began to grow outside of the master bedroom's closet. I had one pile for giveaways, another pile for 'maybe's', and a pile for 'must keeps'. I combined the 'maybe's' with the 'giveaways' and someone who is... Sign in to see full entry.

Joie de Vivre.

I just skipped last week's FlyLady assignments and trudged on. As FlyLady says, "You are not behind. Just start where you are...." Great advice. So today it was to hit the hot spots in the bathroom. (I got rid of two outdoor magazines), and I also wiped stuff off. As we women know, that hairspray... Sign in to see full entry.

Some Things Are a Lot More Important Than Cleaning.

I did not clean off all of my small kitchen appliances. I did not clean off all of my large kitchen appliances. Instead, I caught a nice head cold that's knocked me off my feet. But I wasn't down and out enough to stay home today. There was a parade today, and I had to be there. It's the only parade... Sign in to see full entry.

Rats...

Today FlyLady wants us to wipe down all of the small appliances in the kitchen...well, actually that's a lie. That's what she wanted us to do yesterday, but yesterday I was in and out of the house all day long, because my daughter was in a district tennis match and was moving up throughout the...

The Fridge

Well, Husband is going to love this FlyLady task...not that he's doing it.... It's the fridge. I should've known. We were in the danger zone (kitchen) for that anyway. And the fridge has been taunting me for a couple of months now. The last time it was griped about, however, the gripe-ee got to do... Sign in to see full entry.

Poison For Dinner...Yum Yum!

I am not a Mrs. Picky Pants. Far from it, in fact. I tend to sway to the more relaxed side of things. But when I tasted the spaghetti sauce last night, I wanted to gag. Not because of the spices. Not because of anything I'd done...although checking the tomato paste can for the expiration dates might... Sign in to see full entry.

Nice To Be Back

My cupboards are gleaming. There is spaghetti sauce in the crockpot (homemade), and meatballs in the fridge, to be added in at just the perfect moment. Laundry is done. The dishes are done. And I even made dessert; brownie morsels at the bottom of the glass dish, with butterscotch pudding on top,... Sign in to see full entry.

Totally Worth The Effort

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I love the FlyLady. Oh, sure, it's been a love-hate thing and you all know it, but mostly I love her. I only hate her when I'm feeling lazy. And I shouldn't say 'hate', you know...that's an extreme word. I should say 'strongly dislike'...and only some of... Sign in to see full entry.
