Hey Everyone
Well, So far this week is going pretty well! I haven’t felt too horribly bad, even though girly time is most def. on the way – but at least that will be out of the way before the weekend (or close to it I hope) and done by the holidays /before I travel and all that kind of thing (hopefully lol) I am starting to have some anxiety about traveling so I’m really trying to not think about it so much. It was always bad, but ever since my mom and dad had that wreck it is just crippling, honestly 🙁
I have been doing a few small projects around the house – I started last Thursday and moved my trolley dolly out of the “office” it was in the corner beside my printer table and it just needed a different place to go- it has needed one for a while because it is so inconvienent for it to be there (it is this awesome little thing that you can put tons of groceries or whatever in and then roll it up the steps (or down)
I didn’t really know WHERE to put it , so I opted to go into the laundry room,put all my can food away in this cute little cabinet that my grandma gave me for canned food a long time ago- then I took all the home canned food from my mom that I have and put it in the kitchen cabinet where I generally have my wine glasses (the fancy glass ones) and alcohol (we don’t have a lot on hand right now) then I put the trolley dolly beside the dryer in the laundry room.. which was still inconveient but at least it was out of the way and didn’t look as tacky in my opinion! It was out of my way at least you know?
Well….I kept wondering if it would work in the hall closet (coat closet) where you first come in but with David’s cleaning stuff there I didn’t want to get involved.. but he ended up moving it there and it worked out so YAY
Friday evening I cleaned one whole side of the office while David played games. I watched TV , listened to music and even went on a livestream on youtube ha ha. I managed to clean up all the stuff on top the bookshelf, my desk drawers out, and a cabinet out so I was happy.. I had also managed to come up with an entire BOX of trash for David to take out as well 🙂
I am trying to keep all the JUNK out of there because it seems like that room is always a catch all for random stuff, especially boxes and stuff that need to go to the trash bin… See when we first moved in it was basically like so hodge podge it was crazy- we had a mattress and this big formal long table thing.. and then about 2 or 3 years ago I wanted to make it into an office, so we tried to make that happen and moved the computer in there and got rid of that table and mattress. my mom gave me a small tv and dvd player- and a fire stick (that later actually kinda started getting overheated and smoked… ) because I always like background noise, whether it be a tv or music playing (I want a roku stick in there currently)
Then I kinda just burnt out with blogging so I really never have made it a “thing” to go down there- even though that computer pretty well always stays on and that is where my printer is – so I do use it and all that – just not the way I had expected to you know? with having my cricut down there now, and trying to get things going here again.. i’m attempting to get used to it and get it going on 🙂
One Day, I don’t know which it was between Thurs & Friday I ended up cleaning up the DVD / Book/Random closet in the hallway. I know it is technically a linen closet, but we have one in our bathroom too (which I use for shampoo/make up and whatever else I get couponing.. who has that many linens lol)I keep my linens on this little shelf thing that goes over my toilet. .
Yesterday I ended up cleaning up my little rolly card (used to be my couponing card, then the joy, now just random) and the pantry, because it was SUCH A wreck! I don’t know HOW it gets like that other than one word DAVID. .. Ha Ha! the floor area is kinda for like boxes of broth, cooking oils, vinegars and such- plus there is this huge box of really nice dishtowels that we have NEVER used yet.. ha ha. Then the next shelf is kinda our snacks/my snacks or anything that he has doubles of for his lunch stuff that isn’t opened. Next shelf is his lunch stuff and Marley & Sam’s treats. The next one is like rice/mashed potatoes and other cooking sort of goodies.. The next one is pasta/spices/cooking spray and such- and the top one is like for bags, aluminum foil and that sort of thing.
I managed to clean like a trash can and a half of JUNK and old stuff out. I was honestly shocked, it didn’t seem like I had waited that long to clean it…
Today I spent a good chunk of my day working on making a card on the cricut because it was something that I haven’t ever done and it took me about 4 or 5 tries or so but I finally got a mock up one 🙂 I don’t think it looks half bad- just wouldn’t really be the colors I want to use. I am going to make about 5 cards for christmas ( the rest are going to be just whatever I dig out of the closet) and I need 3 of them by next week so.. got to get it “prerfected”
well.. this has turned out to be a long post and I need to wind down a little before bed.. David went at 9:15 and its about 10:30 now and I’m sitting her with sam watching the nanny on dvd and doing random things..
hopefully I’ll feel good and get up and going and write more tomorrow. my next two projects i’m hoping to work on is the top dresser drawer (my junk drawer) and straighten up a few things in my closet- it isn’t too bad but I need to hang up some stuff, put some stuff in its place and all that.. then of course I could always go on a super duper clean out binge that I keep swearing i’m going to do- it is coming I promise ha ha
later gators!
