It was get my “Domestic Diva” on Day!! Things have been so busy, my house has been the object of neglect instead of affection. I had to change that today. I know you hardworking people can relate. Sometimes you just need to stay at home and take care of business!! In the spirit of all challenges I’ve been doing, this domestic day has inspired me to do yet another one!! Can you believe that? Is the even possible? Yes, and I think it will be a great supplement to this month.
I won’t take on another 30 day challenge to do these things, but I do look forward to sharing my progress within this challenge and in my normal blogging. I know many of you also have a list…what kind of list? The list of things you WANT to do around the house, but you never get around to doing them because of all the normal hustle and bustle and quite frankly, “you don’t have the time”.
Before the summer ends (which is into September, thank goodness), it is my intention to complete most, if not all, of these projects. I know I can get some folks to take on this project with me, so grab a pen and write down all the “unfinished business” regarding your home or car. Here’s the beginning of mine:
- Hang artwork in my voiceover room (beautiful painting by my artist cousin)
- Assemble brand new jewelry box I received for Christmas (sigh…I know)
- Clean out the storage spaces in my basement
- Find and install a credenza for a vacant space in my dining room
- Recycle bag of old clothes at Salvation Army for roofing material
- Clean light covers in the kitchen
- Whole house dusting
- Re-caulk the bathroom
- Get rid of all the weeds in my yard
- Clean main floor carpet
So, that’s my short list and I’m sure I’ll find more as time goes on. This is the list I’m working on from now until mid September. My accomplishments for today include: four loads of laundry (sorted, washed, dried AND put away), dropped of bag of donations and recycled plastic bags at Goodwill, hung up clothes laying around, took out recycling, did my follow ups and other computer work, cooked and wrote this blog.On the other challenge note, most of my exercise has been in the form of walking and housework (steps mostly). My veggie and water game was up yesterday and today as well. I’m adding vegetables to every dish I can throw them in!! Today is no different: large salad for lunch, with a turkey wrap with spinach and tomatoes. Then for dinner we’re having steamed veggies and I snuck some spinach in the mac & cheese (I guess it’s not sneaking if the cheese is green.) LOL
It's time for me to take a load off...have a cookie with me!! Enjoy your evening!!
Whew now that's a to do list :-) I'm right behind ya. My biggest goals are free cycling clothing and deep cleaning the carpet and adding a couple of storage units to our small space. Those cookies look good!
