Good morning, guys and dolls! Lots of stuff to do this Saturday. The big project is cleaning/clearing apace in the "office", since most items everywhere else belong there.
TO DO 1. Post office -mailing and, I hope, picking up 2. Clean off the desk 3. Clean the floor around the desk

Good Morning! I have a bunch of Tetris to play in my kitchen today. Finally replaced some 20 year old dishes, etc. that had hairline cracks. But the new dishes are bigger. 1) Gather laundry and start a load - put away what is on the washer/dryer 2) unload dishwasher - has the new dishes to put away 3) I don't know yet

1) Gather laundry and start a load - put away what is on the washer/dryer 2) unload dishwasher - has the new dishes to put away 3) I don't know yet #3 ended up with me removing all the old dishes from the cupboard and putting them in the guest room for donation. Will pack in the boxes that housed the new dishes. I put the first load of new dishes away which included all the glasses and all the flatware. I'm still washing the plates, etc. But room has been identified on where it will all go! DH tried the bowl for his soup and is happy. I also cleaned out the "cupboard from h311" - such an awkward place. Relocated all the contents to something that is only slightly awkward. 1) Move spices etc. from pantry area into the awkward cupboard (the bottom two shelves are OK). 2) laundry switch 3) clear countertops Have to get ready to unpack the last dish boxes - SO MUCH Styrofoam popcorn. Sticks to everything!

As long as I was moving them - I filled all the countertop containers. These are my ethnic spices that come in really large bags that I need to parcel out to normal spice jars. Now to find lunch then: 1) finish countertops 2) unpack the rest of the dishes 3) run dishwasher and probably another laundry switch

Good evening, guys and dolls! phoenixcat I crack up at the awkward cupboard. I have one of those: the cabinet through which the dishwasher hoses run! Glad DH likes your new dishes. gaylem Good job on so much accomplished. I hope your brother appreciates your work. doodles You snuck in here while I was typing my list. Good job, especially on the sauce!! I attempted to bring a big box of donations to a charity shop, only to discover that its loading dock is closed due to lack of workers and the 72-hour period in which items must be left sitting. Will try again mid-July, but that means boxes must go SOMEWHERE. Also, I bought a Corelle covered dish that fits the warming station my mother gave me. Will be great for the next time I go to a potluck (soon, I hope!) TA-DAH 1. Filled a donation box to the top 2. Tossed out a few things that I held onto "just in case" 3. Put flashdrives into a hardware holder (little one with drawers) TO DO 1. Update a file and throw out the paper notes 2. Put the donation box in a closet or something (I really need to figure out where!) 3. Pick up the floor around the diningroom table

missjean The cupboard opens up above the peninsula part of my countertop. You have to stand on a step stool and lean really far over or actually stand on the countertop to access. The bottom two shelves though aren't too bad especially for stuff that is only used a few times a month. 1) finish countertops cleared not cleaned 2) unpack the rest of the dishes 3) run dishwasher Plus a laundry switch. 1) figure out supper 2) do a small clear of the pantry now that those bags of spices are out. 3) Maybe continue on my family room project?

Hi there weekend WITty peeps I've been getting some things done but avoiding the most important non housework related task in my life right now that I should be working on for several hours a week. A deadline is coming. I am gong to regret this. Ugh. Must get on it. Tonight. Ta-da: Washed two batches of dishes. Washed socks and underwear; more stuff. Worked on purge-a-thon tasks. Just a few days left: Got the kitchen table completely cleared off; wiped down; put table cloth on. Sorted jewelry/makeup/dental things/face masks into containers and put on laundry room dresser for further consolidating/organzing. Threw out about 35 items, trash, expired products, broken plate, poured out expired vinegar etc. Got all the accumulated shop n drop and other crapola off the kitchen floor. Only things left are dirty trash can that needs to be scrubbed; and a bag of tote bags and paper bags. Worked in clothes room. Got all of the pile up off floor. Discarded about 70 items (amnesty-straight into trash, I can't mess with saving the planet this moment). Folded everything else and stacked in piles like with like in 2 laundry baskets; threw socks and underwear in storage basket on top of dresser; cardigans and work things (from the pile) draped over hamper. To-do: Scoop and change paper! I am a bit all over the place lately and back at work (exhausting). Neglected for 2...3 days? Ugh. Must do now! And keep up on basic daily chores. Litter boxes = bugaboo. Well, time to face the music. Work on project for two hours. Exercise.
