So here's the painted wall. I'm not ready to show the entire room since I still haven't put it back together or even taken the newspaper off … [Read more...]
Choosing the Hard Way
I can't tell you how much I wanted to skip my Daily Checklist post and just do this Tackle it Tuesday post. I love big projects with showy results. This paint job is going to make such a noticeable difference. Sweeping the kitchen and emptying the dishwasher? They're only noticeable if I don't do them. But here it is. My big tackle for today. … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
Today's Daily Checklist is not one to be proud of. It is incomplete. I didn't wipe down bathrooms last night, or make lunches, or finish a load of laundry. I did lay out clothes, but grumbled while I did it.

I didn't wipe down the bathrooms at night, or … [Read more...]

Far from Perfect
I had a friend over for lunch yesterday. I thought it was supposed to be today, but then I got an email from her on Wed. night asking if we were still on for "tomorrow." Uh, sure! Yesterday and today were both equally fully scheduled, so it really didn't matter. And hey, I'm so much less paranoid about the dreaded doorbell. The problem? … [Read more...]
Can a Slob Handle Coupons?
I've mentioned before that I do love me some coupons. It's coupons that first introduced me to Blogworld, so I sort of assume that most Blogworldians love them too. I very well may be wrong, though, as I'm learning that there are so many different varieties of blogs. Anyway, I love coupons. They have totally changed my way of shopping in the … [Read more...]
