Hi Hi Laughinglark!! Good to meet you. YOU STEAM CLEANED your carpets...in ONE day?!? WOW!! Enjoy them!!
Well...I just did the dining room area, about a 12x12 foot section of carpet. It took about six hours and I think I ended up dumping out ten gallons of blackish water as I worked. It's still not clean, but I'm proud that I made a dent in it. I need to rent a rug doctor as soon as I have enough clutter out of here to justify the expense of renting a machine. My little Bissell is not up for the task. I got the sour spilled milk smell out of the carpet though. Good enough for today. Yay! I should do more to-do's, but I'm sooo tired. I promise I'll get up early tomorrow and behave. I had no idea I'd have to work on that bit of carpet for so long.

Thanks to your Mum for the wise advice, wantinmore. I am not putting down new contact paper, that's for sure.
Welcome, laughinglark (did I get your screen name right?) You actually had a 12 x 12 space of carpet to steam clean! That counts as a major TADA right there!
Hypatia, thanks for volunteering to help Missy on this new board. SS is proud of you.
TADAs: 1. 3/4 of the way done with removing the contact paper on one shelf. It's interesting to see how many layers there are. 2. Ate dinner and cleaned up. 3. Continuing on nephew's CD project
TODOs: 1. Finish the first shelf and put something on it to help soak off the glue. 2. Start the second shelf and see how far I can get on it in the next hour. 3. Fold laundry while watching movie on TV.
I'm so glad this is up and running!

Hi All,
Mzaucontraire - welcome and I love your name! 82% of your list - that's more than I usually get accomplished. Way to go! (Also, very wise to bring in your checkbook from the car!)
Minibella - nice job on the litter box. I don't have cats, but I bet that's not a fun job
WestSide Story - that contact paper doesn't stand a chance against you!
Hypatia - Nice to see your name!
So to update:
Tadas: 1) Cleaned closet with mouse poop! No more mouse poop! DD or anyone esle can now safely put away cleaning supplies (is it ironic that the least sanitary part of my house was the "cleaning" closet?) 2) Hung up hang dry clothes from laundry done at MILs house 3) Took DD to speech therapy But wait there's more... 4) Washed one load of dishes 5) Wiped down one counter in kitchen 6) Put away basket of folded laundry (it was a big basket too) 7) Put DD to bed
Todos: 1) Brush teeth, floss 2) Get to sleep at a reasonable time 3) Read something
See you all tomorrow - pleasant dreams

Yeah! No more mouse poop! WTG, neveropentheclosets. This is one closet that you now can open all the time. Yeah! Think I'll start Tuesday's WIT to see if I can figure out how to do it. WestsideStory
