Good Saturday morning everyone!
I've been out on my first dog walk already, now I'm home and eating breakfast.
My goal for today is to START the job I've been putting off forever, shortening my new jeans, and taking in the bottom section of the legs that are too wide. I also need to do some laundry today. I have my usual mid-day work and a cat care visit at 5:00pm, but that leaves time to get a start on the jeans.

Hi Diane
good luck with your jeans!
I have already been up and about, and went out and registered dd for a fall sport, cleaned out the refrigerator, made my bed, fed DD, and did the dishes.
Now I want to accomplish the following this weekend:
take down, wash, dry, iron and rehang four panels of my bedroom curtains
balance my checkbook
pay bills
submit a receipt for flex spending
do my grocery list
go shopping
return recyclables
vacuum stairs
vacuum LR DR hallway, bedrooms
dust LR, dining room
mop bathroom floor
clean toilet and bathtub
do some of the fly lady challenges for the past week
the big thing is the curtains! that is part of my two month challenge and I am dreading it. So I think I'll go and try to tackle it first

Happy  Saturday!  I've got the laundry in the dryer, and I'm going to empty out 2 kitchen drawers today. Then run the dishwasher, do a little vacuuming, play some cards - I mean, do more housework - and then head off to work. Worky worky. |

Hey Diane, Thanks for getting us going this morning.
Despite only getting a couple of hours of sleep last night I felt pretty energetic and did more stuff this morning, including patrolling the yard for poopcicles while waiting for Brian to arrive. I was right, he is a newbie at doing home visits, this was only his second one. He was rather impressed with how organized my records for the dogs were in a three ring binder. He think these girls have got it made, life is very good for them.
Next up: something for lunch and after that I'll see if I want/can keep working or need a nap.

 I'm glad your home visit went so well, calypso and WTG with the poop patrolling. I need to get on that, too. My dishwasher's running as I type. I went through the 2 kitchen yuck drawers, and now they're perfect - almost empty! I've got a pile of old junk to recycle (burnt out bulbs, batteries, utensils) and my plastic bag collection consists of only 4 bags! Yowza, now I'm thinking I won't even have enough for garbage day,  . |

cyn, you are an inspiration! I did a few regular chores like empty the dishwasher, throw in a load of towels, etc. For the past 3 hours I have been sorting through a huuuuuuge pile of filing - credit card bills, financial statements, utility bills, insurance statements, etc. I have made a lot of progress but have lost my oooomph to finish it up. So now I'm watching some TV and then I'll get back to it.

Good afternoon work-alongers! I'm happy to see so many busy people! I'm home from my mid-day job with my senior client, I spent an hour there packing up junk in a spare room and hauling it out to the alley, so I feel like we made some progress even though I'm achy. My last job of the day is a cat care visit, so after I clean the litter pan and feed, it means sitting on the couch petting and playing with the cat--that will be a nice rest.

Thanks for starting us off Diane!!!!!
I woke up sore and achy......... not sure why.
I got up and ran to the bank and got coffee and gas. Then headed to my home away from home.
After I finished there I went to a ziti dinner fund raiser for a local police officer fighting cancer. I got two diners to go and I bought the cupcakes. on the way home I got football picks to stick on the cupcakes ad I will bring them to a super bowl party tomorrow.
now that I am home and my belly is full - and I am freshly showered - I am trying to figure out a game plan for tonight. i do have two loads of laundry and some ironing to do. I have to wait for hubby to shower first.
ok..off to it

I put in a solid 6 hours today on paperwork: filing, updating financial records, taxes, etc. I culled a huge trash bag full of paper for burning or shredding. Not done yet, but I'm close to the finish line. Maybe I can even finish up tomorrow. Made some beef with broccoli for dinner and I've asked DH and DS to clean up since they goofed off most of the day.

Truffle, paperwork is mentally exhausting, after 6 hours of it you sure do deserve to have someone else clean up after dinner! I'm home from my NON-exhausting cat care visit.  It was very nice to sit and play with a cat for a while. This time the owners are only gone for the weekend so she won't be lonely for very long. I'm finishing up some dinner, and then will start a load of laundry. Start laundry Clean up dinner stuff Cut an inch or two off the legs of the new jeans Send a building email Diane |
