Actually I don't really follow them anymore. What should have been my 'BEST YEAR' in 2010 turned into a life changing BAD year. I still find them entertaining though.

"My afternoon goals are to catch up on laundry" that's an 'afternoon' goal? huh... that's a many months long goal for me... OTOH, maybe you don't have 10 trash bags of it to be done... I've done about 6 of the bags in the past 2.5 months tho. about 2 wks ago I quit ignoring the 2 toddler sized blankets in the dog pen (4 yrs there) and pulled them up out of the dirt (ick) and hauled them to the outside spigot to wash them out in a plastic bin. it took about 10 times in the bin for the water to stop looking like thick runny mud on the 1st one and then i started on the 2nd one. I got them to where I think I can put them in the washer and it'll be just be nasty dirty water that will spin out and not thick mud. i'll put 'em thru a rinse before I actually wash them... they might need a 2nd rinse. they're just little tyke blankets I picked up at the GW yrs back for my boy dog. if they survive the wash, this dog can have them in the house. I figured I should either throw those blankets out or clean 'em up. It's good I don't have much regular laundry to do... I did dishes again yesterday too ... knocking myself out on this cleaning stuff! I made spaghetti Wed night and the sauce bubbled all over the stove... I was busy watching something on tv and forgot about it. didn't ruin it but sure made a mess! like I needed any extra help making a mess here... One of these days I'm gonna start digging into these boxes that have taken up permanent residence all over this place. then the rooms might feel naked! shades - i think you might need to post a tutorial on how to make those cement leaves. they are beautiful!
