This is the Working in Threes Thread (W.I.T.)
EVERYONE IS WELCOME, especially if you've never posted before!
The guidelines are simple:
- Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous. - Do one more little thing. - Do another little thing.
Once you have 3 things done, post them here.
- Post the next 3 things you plan on doing. - Go forth and conquer, return and post again.
Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or depressed or overwhelmed, you are in the right place!
If the next 15 minutes consists of:
- Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying - Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash
. . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE - DOM !!!
You could post:
Ta - Da's - Took pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Threw away McDonald's wrappers
Then your To - Do's: - Bring plates and glasses to kitchen - Put dirty socks in hamper - Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away.
Whether you do those three to-do's, or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post.
Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da!
If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you.
Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das. YOU DESERVE THEM !

hi clutterbunny! Thanks for starting the thread in living color! i posted on the other thread too, but want to come here and post. Great job on doing the dishes, tidying the kitchen, and clearing DD's room. Hi again bluefrog; congrats on getting started; that's the hardest part of the day for me. I'm with you on having a hard time achieving verticality, but we did it! ta das: 1. successfully procrastinated going to work 2. scrubbed the bathroom sink while procrastinating 3. wrote out a check for a bill and wrote out an invoice for some work I did
to dos: 1. go to work 2. eat breakfast on the run 3. take it easy and don't push too hard; nice steady pace-- I have a "grunt" job this afternoon and need to reserve some energy for that-- unless I get rained out again!
OK I better go; the rain all week has put me way behind; looks like rain again today. But hey, at least it's nice and cool, and good weather for hard outdoor work! I'll check back later. Hope everyone has a great day!

Oh I really like that quote ArtsyGal... where is it from?
Done: 1. Bought microwave at garage sale across the street. Mine died this week, and they were selling one. How precipitous is that?? It was about 2 inches smaller than mine, but works well, is a good name brand and is white like my kitchen. Plus, without haggling, the woman reduced the price from $20 to $15. Yay! I went home to compare the size... walked back over... was literally paying for it, when a car stopped and a guy asked about the microwave. Lucky lucky timing for me. Yay again!
2. Scrubbed "new" microwave and carried old one outside. I will ask bf to carry it to the curb.
3. Gave bathroom sink a good wipe, finishing work from yesterday.
4. Stained a handmade clay statue to put in the garden. I bought it at a second hand store. It's a mother sitting crosslegged, holding her baby in her arms. Not meant for outdoors, so I had to weatherproof it. I wanted a visual reminder of my future hopes as a mother.
To Do: 1. Wipe mirrors and glass tables. 2. Mop bathroom and entrance floors. 3. Strip bed and put fresh linen. Fluff and make bed.
