Good morning!!
We decorated cookies last night with a beautiful 8yr old. She is such a joy and full of energy. She actually let me brush her hair! Well most of her hair, there was so much frosting in the hair on the front of her head.
I have a job for me today. In the process of getting the plastic bins (shoe box size) with the cookie cutters out of the pantry closet, so much stuff fell. I could barely get the door open to begin with. So last night I came home with the intent of cleaning it out and reorganizing it. I decided to do it this morning when it was lighter out.
I did wash the dishes last night. There were two pots and two big pans so it felt great to get that done. I will put the clean stuff away first.
My kitchen is getting impassable and hard to put things away so after the closet I will devote some time to those piles.
My coffee is done so off I go!

Cheering for you as you attack those kitchen piles, ohblondie! Thanks for starting us off, Lennon. I am extremely overwhelmed. Going to play my “Race to 100” game today. How long will it take me to get to 1000? We will see ….

HI Everyone!!! Thanks for starting the weekend off lennon !!! ohblondie go get that Kitchen - you can do it! TwinkleToes 1000 — you got this! I have started my year end break with an overwhelming amount of things that need done. This morning I sat down and made a calendar list in my notebook for the break of all of my appts for anything that I had to go to or had people coming here. I also started a parking list in my notebook for extra things I think of that I need to do so I can just get them down. I just made my list of work in progress for the weekend so it looks like I am ready to start - and I got my check off list in my blog. I need to just focus on bits at a time and not get overwhelmed - nothing to do clean or etc at all I am just prepping so no freezing up (hear that brain!) Best Wishes to us all!!!!!!!! First up 1. Check laundry to see where I am at and get it started 2. Start picking up anything I think is trash/recycle around the house

Good morning! Wow, I thought I'd be the first one here on this Saturday morning but people are already working!
TML, you are already on your year end break? So, you're off now until January?
I have a great big to-do list also, so I hope today is productive for all of us!

Break ended up being a lot longer than give minutes because of phone calls I hate talking on the phone. While I was on the phone, I opened some packages

Hi everyone! Twinkletoes, I love seeing your big lists, they're always really inspiring! Diane - I absolutely still have some cards up for the summer. Need to get those down before Christmas guests arrive!
Today has been very much about catching up - with how busy this last week has been, I'm behind on certain systems, so I've done a full cycle of laundry in the last 24 hours, and have more clean laundry ready to go upstairs and more drying. Boyfriend has his covid vaccine appointment tomorrow, so hoping to combine that with a trip to the recycling centre, so I've been rounding up trash today, and also hopefully getting an unwanted parcel returned tomorrow.
Done: Put away laundry Emptied bedroom trash x 2 Emptied master bathroom trash Emptied downstairs bathroom trash Emptied spare bedroom trash Emptied living room trash Changed towels kitchen Changed towels downstairs bathroom Cleared expired food from fridge Cleared icepacks out of freezer to make space for Christmas food Bagged up clean laundry Clean laundry taken upstairs Handled mail Finished making gift bags for colleagues Got rid of old flowers and arranged new ones in living room Filled a bag of kitchen trash

Good morning reve! Sounds like you really need the weekend, it must be hectic at work!
The dog still hasn't wanted to go out--I don't get how sometimes she goes so long without going out and other times she wants to go out every few hours.
Next:
10 minutes on plants Write out a birthday card for a friend Do some seed research--it's soon time to refrigerate seeds that need it for spring planting Delete 10 hard emails

wow everyone has been active! mylittlescholar have fun at your open house! I have not done anything related to housework yet today! This morning I met a friend for coffee and breakfast and we chatted for a couple hours. It was really good; she is a mom with kids a bit older than DD so she gave me some advice/experiences on making the switch to being the mom of a young adult. The place we met was in very upscale town next door. We could have been in a m` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````movie set. (all of those commas were typed by girl cat! ) just like a picture perfect Christmassy place. we were looking for lifetime movie set.
after that I took some goodies out to my recently widowed sister who had two little grands with her for a visit. then I came home and played fetch and now I gotta get moving!!
yesterday I did get grocery shopping, to the ATM, and even bought that bottle of wine to sit and enjoy by my tree but I never had any! I will save for Christmas, it really just makes me sleepy! put all the groceries away. vacd the stairs and the dining room. picked up pup from daycare
then I just enjoyed the tree and watched some netflix
today christmas cards! must get them out
this place looks like a mess with lots of stuff out. I like to say my house is so tiny that if I leave a tea cup out it looks like a mess!
I met two of my simple life goals today. i was on time for the breakfast and I just ate a lunch of vegetables! I will do my personal email today
I have decided to add go to bed with an empty sink to my simple life list.
