Eagle--Thanks for starting the thread. So glad you got to spend time with your granddaughter yesterday.
I think we got lots done here, yesterday, so let's do it again, y'all!
Tadas Today:
7:00am
*woke up early on a Saturday & feel motivated
*made my bed
I started a game on the main board & sure hope that others join in.
So the tadas below are being copied from that thread.
8:24am
*I checked blanket that I had in washer...have to re-wash it. Still has lots of pet hair on it.
* Removed lint from dryer.
*Changed linens in DD's Room.
*picked up the torn up kleenex that resulted from puppy.
* Also, she had gotten one of DD's art's & craft's projects from how many years ago? that must have fallen under DD's bed. She tore it up. It was a Thanksgiving project. A small turkey shaped from syrofoam that had sequins pinned into it. Half the pins were on the floor around it & I am just hoping she didn't swallow any of them. She must have done this last night while we were out & I didn't know it until just a little while ago. I cleaned that mess up. Puppy seems fine, but will have to keep a close eye on her.
*removed old pillow case from DD's drawer from when she was a toddler. It was one with theme from Alladin. Had Jasmine's picture on one side & tiger on the other. put it in drawer with linens in guest room/office.
*put one pillow case in giveaway bag. It was an advertising specialty (premium) sample.
*put linens from bed into her clothes hamper.
*put some puppy toys on her bed in hopes that puppy will want to sleep with her or in her crate tonight. Puppy usually either sleeps in crate or in mine & DH's waterbed. DD has been sleeping on the den couch for a year. But, I am ready for her to try out her room again. Puppy is a year old & let her sleep in den with her when we first got her, and found DD was sleeping soo much better in the den... had previoius sleep issues. I am soo ready for her to try her bed again & this evening she arrives back in town from her trip to Michigan.
I heard from DD during that stretch. Have not spoken with her or heard from her in 2 weeks. She has been at a Girl Scout Destination...an apprenticeship. "Wilderness First Responder". They don't allow cell phones where this took place. She sounded very happy & had her boarding pass & at the airport in Traverse City, MI. She said that she got her Certification as a Wilderness First REsponder. . . that the test was very hard & she thought she failed it, but is so happy she got Certified.
10:13am
Here's what I did...I had last picked Dining room/room of doom.
*put load of laundry in washer
*moved load into dryer
*put another load in washer
*ate healthy breakfast of cereal
*spent most of that 20 minutes of dining room....trying to decide what to do with stuff, so didn't actually get much done. First item, was DVD set we had bought years ago as a gift to someone we hardly know... DH wants to keep it for us, now, & buy another gift... I said okay. It had been sitting on my dining room table for at least 4 years---I'm ashamed to say.
*2nd item...gift I bought for one of my nieces, but can't remember buying it or which neice...been sitting on my dining room table for minimum 2 years. Decided to send it to my youngest neice whose birthday is coming up in 3 weeks. Stuck sticky note to it and am determined to buy birthday card & send it. Did move it to eating area which is a temporary staging area...
*3rd item--bag with gift enclosures for Bar & Bat Mitzvahs. I am so ashamed!!! My DD went to them years ago & we never sent the gifts!!! What the H*ll is wrong with me!!! So was going to put them in my bag of cards that I keep in hand in my bedroom in a cabinet inside my dresser. Actually have a place for these. Then, as I discovered more Bar/Bat Mitzvah gifts that we never sent... I asked DH what he thought we should do...and he wants to send the gifts (anonymously...with just a hint like just the first letter of our last name). He wants us to be honoroble... Ha! I told him, if we send them then I will put who it is from. It may be embarrassing...but i'm sure they will like receiving a gift whenever it is... I feel like a crazy lunatic!!! & we could use these gifts to send other gifts we owe that I haven't purchased yet. Oh well, decision made, so now I just need to follow thru if I can figure out who we sent gifts to & who we didn't and verify addresses.
*4th item...bag with 2 bar/bat mitzvah gift cards from Barnes & Noble and one Bar Mitzvah card. Decision made above.
*called Barnes & Noble to make sure the cards had not expired & are still good. They are!
Almost forgot to post these two:
*put DH & my voter's registration in our files
*put DH's cataract lens descriptions in his file---so happy that I haven't lost those!
11:43am
I just spent 20 in my eating area & also did one or two other things.
*folded load of laundry
*put that load away
*put away shopping bag that had 3 new tubes of toothpaste & an ice scraper...can't even remember when I bought them. But must have been in February or older. Put toothpaste in cabinet in back bathroom & put ice scraper in garage. put bag in bag of bags to take to grocery store later to recycle.
*another shopping bag (actually 2 combined)... 1 exercise video, and 2 oven mitts. Put video in den on shelf & removed tags from the oven mitts & put in kitchen drawer where I keep potholders. Put bags into bag of bags to be re-used. These have been sitting around my eating area for a little over a month.
*put my contacts in
2:13pm
*chopped up an onion for cooking with later (ran out of time)
*dressed2shoes, teeth, hair, lipstick
*swiped back bathroom toilet
*swiped around one of the back bathroom sinks
*picked up ton of dog hair from carpet in my bedroom--just scraped it up from the carpet with my hand
*got dishes soaking
*washed 3 kitchen sink counters
*washed top of stove
*went to grocery store--took longer than I thought it would
*brought in the mail
*trained for a bit with puppy--"fetch toy" and "give to Momma"...she had to put it in my hand. She actually tried talking to me at one point when she brought it & dropped it near me but didn't understand yet to put it in my hand. She did it, though! & repeated it 4 times!
*remembered to drop off bag of plastic bags for recycling while at grocery store.
It is 9:30pm here.
I have one huge tada!!!
***Picked up my DD from the airport!!! So wonderful to see her & hug her. She was gone for 2 weeks & I am soo proud of her.***
We ate dinner out and made a few phone calls.
12:24am
Heylady--thanks for motivating me to get those dishes done that have been sitting around for a few days... They're done!

Eagle--I'm sorry to hear about your niece. I have a friend who has that and has been in remission for years. Even after the chemo...she had two children. I just think that your relationship with your granddaughter is so incredibly special. You are such a wonderful gramma. BTW, just curious...what does she call you? I just can't imagine you actually being called grandma... My mother has her grandkids call her Gammy or Gam Gam. CD  |

Hi everyone,
My computer is not working properly and I was unable to post yesterday. I am posting here today, Sunday, so if you don't hear from me for a few days/weeks this is why.
Regards Rexroth
