Yesterday didn’t go all that well. I did manage to shine my sink but I didn’t do much else. I was just in a funky fog yesterday and I’m not sure why. I didn’t do my assigned 15 minutes of holiday cleanup but I will get back on that today. I goofed off with Twitter [...]

Wow it’s been forever since I’ve posted on this blog. In my attempt to get organized I plan on documenting my transition (New Years Resolution of course) from CHAOS to organization. My house is a mess. Thank God for FlyLady! I’ve tried this system throughout the years but I’ve lost my way so I am [...]

My husband got a call from the husband tenant of our rental property. This guy drives me insane! Just last month the wife emailed me saying they were divorcing and had us sign all these papers getting him off the lease but now he’s calling so I guess they aren’t getting divorced.

In my search for fabric for new curtains for my house I came across a very clever site that sells fabric but it gets even better. They have something called a Vote Up Count Down Sale. This is a very clever idea - you vote on your favorite fabric and the fabric with the most [...]

Well since we have finally moved and are somewhat settled in I thought now is a good time to really commit to a cleaning schedule. We were in escrow for over 2 months when buying this house so I sort of let my old house get pretty dirty. I just wasn’t motivated to keep up [...]
