Good morning everyone! I have a busy day, so I'm just going to say good morning, then log off for a while.

Welcome Schlohweiss!

I have only one more "hot spot" left to conquer. That's a place that collects stuff, you know...and piles up and up! For me it's papers. I had 5 hot spots and I got them all policed except for one, here in the computer room.

I wish you could see my china cabinet. I took all the china out of it (gee, I don't even have chairs that match my dining room table...heck, they don't even match each other) so I'm never gonna use my mom's fancy bone china. I put it in a big box up in the attic.

Then I put everything that I had sitting out, trinkets, pictures and such...things that required dusting (which I hate doing) and I put them on "display" in the china cabinet! Now I should rarely have to dust them and the top of my entertainment center has only one picture (of the jedis of course) and a mantle clock. Much easier to dust with the feather duster.

I've gone (I think) 4 days with NO dirty clothes in the house...as soon as I get up in the morning, before breakfast, I wash the dirty clothes we wore the day before. After breakfast, I hang them on the line! By evening they are dry and after my kitchen is cleaned in the evening, I fold them and put them away!

I could go on and on, but really for the first time in years feel like I have a handle on things around here! Steve even has started pitching in and helping, now that he knows the "routine" (it's posted on the fridge). He doesn't have to, but it makes things doubly fast when he does.

I'm listening to Gaelic Storm here. It's not good to be humming drinking songs this early in the morning.
