I meant to be all super ambitious and get both my kitchen and bedroom tidied and thoroughly cleaned this weekend. Instead, I have had the laziest weekend in recent memory and my bedroom is half tided, and the kitchen is a mess.

Jilli! Did the urn show up?

It did! I meant to say so yesterday, but was busy with hair dye and getting ready to go out dancing that night.

Yay!

Tiny urn is currently sitting on the altar, and I am kind of thinking about putting glitter in it.

Heh. I should have pre-filled it with glitter, but that seemed messy and mean.

OK, I guess I am out of excuses to avoid cleaning. Starting with the kitchen now.

finished kitchen floor, baseboards, walls, and even wiped down a few of the cabinets with spots. I have laundry to fold now and need to put the second load in the dryer.

also vacuumed the front living room.

I found two baskets full of clothes that no longer fit in the guest room. Those were the ones I was goon take pics of for Burrell and Kate. expect at least one batch up on fb today for you all.

Now getting some stuff listed on ebay.

I got a pedicure, and did half a load of laundry.

There's probably tons else I should do (including "work out") but...meh. Well, I'll try to do some more laundry.

Only did a little in the kitchen BUT I got the lawn mowed (I like my new mower (it is actually just a weed-whacker with a little rolling stand, so light and maneuverable!)) and edged and the birds fed. So that's not bad. Maybe time for a break?

I made soup and washed dishes. And I did work-work for about 3 hours. What I need to do is make a comprehensive list of shit I need to get done, in manageable steps, because overwhelmed paralysis.

I am listing homemade Christmas stocking from my mom's quilting group. I hope they sell.

Then the pile of clothes. Who has teenage boys? sizes 12 -16 mostly.

He's growing out of size 16 already? How is that possible?

he's 5'5", maybe 5'6" - size 11 shoe. it's crazy.
