Oh my!

Girls, I have been SO productive the last few days! I re-set up my card file, but this time I'm doing it gradually, room by room as I get things done so it's not so overwhelming.

I have done all daily, weekly, and monthly tasks for three rooms: Master bath, downstairs bath, and kitchen. I know it's only three rooms but that includes washing the floors and cleaning the windows and stuff! And those rooms have lots of things to do!

It's funny; I realized the bathroom has a lot of weekly chores (toilet, sink, counters, shower, sweeping) but not a lot of monthly chores (wash the floor, scrub the shower tiles, wash rugs). The kitchen, on the other hand, has a lot of monthly chores (wipe down appliances, clear out fridge, clean microwave and toaster oven) but not a lot of weekly chores (wash floor). To be fair, the kitchen has an arsenal of "daily" tasks, while the bathroom has none.

I wasn't sure I could do it today. It was so hot, and one of my tasks was to clean the oven, so while the oven was burning away its food crumbs I was sweating and washing kitchen chairs. I still have two things I can't do till the oven's cooled off (deep clean the stovetop and wipe down the oven door).

I am pretty proud of myself. The only things I'm going to do tonight are laundry and change the sheets on the bed. Or maybe I'll change the sheets on Monday when I vacuum. Yes. Joe and I will watch a movie tonight, and relax with cold things. He said not to do much for dinner because he ate late...so basically I have no idea what to make. What's something healthy that is small but qualifies as a meal, not a snack?

Ooo I should be all fancy and make him a fancy salad.

Lettuce. Semi-frozen blueberries. White balsamic vinaigrette.

Maybe he wouldn't like it though; he likes pretty simple salads.

Okay, this post has reached the point where I'm simply thinking boring thoughts out loud. Focus, Amber.

Piano tuner is here, woohoo...

Really I just can't get over how much I've gotten done and how clean those three rooms are. My next day is Monday and I hope to basically do the rest of the rooms in the house then, since they are mostly tidying and vacuuming, plus one bathroom.

Oh, weird thing: I had no idea that vinaigrette was spelled that way! I truly thought it was "vinegarette" like the female form of vinegar (you know, bachelor, bachelorette). So weird; you think you know how to spell, and then stuff like this comes up. It was only a few years ago I learned to spell "cupboard." I kept typing it into Microsoft Word "cuboard" and couldn't understand why it gave me the red squiggly.

Bye now!
