              • Zone 3: Mission #1 Monday 

                Dear Friends:

                This week we are in Zone 3. This is the main bathroom and another room of your choice. Our "other" room is going to be taking 5 minutes at those stash and dash spots in your home. Maybe it is the basement, a corner in your bedroom, the guest room or garage. Just 5 minutes each day to put a dent in the stash and dash piles we have built.

                Your mission for today in the bathroom is to wipe down around the base and the back of the toilet. This is an area that we all seem to forget about until we notice it on day and it seems too far gone to do anything about it! Grab a rag and some general purpose cleaner and wipe down the toilet from the bowl downward, the floor around the base and behind base. This is a quick and easy mission to do!

                Your mission for the Stash and Dash space is to take a trash bag and just toss anything you can see that needs to be thrown away or recycled.

                Zone 3: Mission #2 Tuesday 

                Dear Friends:

                We are back in the bathroom and your mission for today is to clean our your bathroom trash can. Use the tub to fill the can with hot water and add some general purpose cleaner or dish soap. Let it soak and then scrub the bottom, the sides and the outside. Turn it over and let it dry in the tub and then put it back before someone needs to bathe and ends up taking a shower with the trash can! This is so simple and makes a difference.

                Your mission for the Stash and Dash space is to spend 5 minutesgathering up anything that you can donate or give away that you no longer love, use or need.

                Zone 3: Mission #3 Wednesday 

                Dear Friends:

                It is Anti-procrastination Day! It is time to take a look into the medicine cabinets and toss the empty bottles and boxes that are taking up space. While you are doing this also take a look at the expiration dates on the medicines that are there. If you have some that need to be gotten rid of take care of that as well. Grab adamp rag and wipe down the shelves. Don't take everything out, just lift, wipe and put back.

                Your Mission for the Stash and Dash space is to spend 5 minutesputting away the things that have a home, you know where they go but you tossed the in a pile while stashing and dashing because someone was coming over. The Stash and Dash spaces are just piles of procrastination.

                Zone 3: Mission #4 Thursday 

                Dear Friends:

                The bathroom sink is calling you! Let's shine our bathroom sinks and counter tops. Scrub the sink and the faucets, wipe downwith Windex (remember to be careful that you are not mixing Windex with any bleach products, make sure you rinse very well before using the Windex). Take time to wipe down your counter tops and give them a shine as well.

                Your mission for your Stash and Dash space is to go back again to throw away anything that needs to be tossed or recycled. We are going back to do this again because now that we have peeled back one layer it is very possible that there is more to be tossed or another space to toss from.

                Zone 3: Mission #5 Friday 

                Dear Friends:

                We are in the last day of Zone Three! Your mission in the bathroom is to mop the floor. Now, you can do this with some hot soapy water and a rag or mop. There is no perfect way to mop. Just get the floor wet, wipe it and dry it!

                Your mission for the Stash and Dash space is to do a 27 fling boogie in the space. Grab 27 things to throw away, give away or put away! Now you have seen how you can work on these stash and dash spaces a few minutes at a time every day and make a difference.

                    Ta Da for Week 40

                    QUILT
                    Buckeye Beauty baby quilt.
                    Black kitty is Scrappy.  Lump hiding under the quiltlet is
                    actually a kitty wondering what the H*** is going on! and that kitty is Chai.
                    Hope to have the quilt finished this weekend.

                    PAPERWORK - yup!  Still there!  Mostly have just been working on the daily onslaught of mail!  REALLY need to settle down and work on the major sorting!

                    EDUCATION
                    Tried to update to present (and beyond) my study projects (Blackboard Report).  Also tried to update Amazon.com purchases and to keep as cheap (!!??? Yeah, right!) as possible.  Still need to add update pix of projects and decide what to do with old pix re archives.

                    PANTRY
                    Making a list and checking it twice (three, no - make that four, five... um... a dozen times!)  At any rate I have plans for making some purchases in the long term storage area.  There would have been canning going on IF my garden had done a lot of much.  It didn't!  so it is buy-it-in time!  STILL have to work on the Pantry page (Preserving Kettle).  I think I would rather quilt!

                    YAY! It's Friday and tomorrow it's the WEEKEND! 10-09-22

If you need new ones, put them on the list too.

                                This is quick and easy!  Have Fun!

                              Whew! Made it to Wednesday - halfway point!!! 10-07-14

                              And today I can put into the bottom group -
                              the cup of tea I just drank out of less than 5 minutes ago, my medical test monitor,
                              the glass of iced tea I drank out of after I couldn't find the cup of tea I had drunk out of 5 minutes ago,
                              the books I was studying - or thought I was studying!, the glass of water I drank out of less than 5 minutes before,
                              my breakfast plate, the cup of tea I just drank out of less than 5 minutes before...

                                    Your mission for today is to grab a trash bag and clean out your refrigerator.  You are to toss ANYTHING that will not get eaten any time soon.  This means that new salad dressing you decided to try but really don't like.  It is time to let it go.  Just as the rule applies to the rest of the house.  If you don't love or use it, lose it!  Get rid of the fruit that is a few days beyond when it was really edible, get rid of the veggies that are turning into a science project.  Check the dates on the cheeses that are potential science project.
                                    You will be able to really make a better grocery list when your fridge is cleaned out of all the items you don't like and or don't use!

                                    Every once in awhile I get an email from a member with a mission suggestion.  I received this one and thought it was great!  


                                    So here is your mission from a member for the kitchen today:

                                    I was in the kitchen the other day putting away the silverware and noticed how gross the silverware holder had become!  Also, the area around the holder was filled with little bits of nothing..elastics, paperclips, ketchup packets!  A total mess, in other words.  I had the thought that it would be great to have a mission for this as I'm

                                    sure there are plenty of FlyBabies just like me who don't think about it!

                                            Stash Report for 10-05-14

                                            The picture is from when there were only 4.5 blocks (don't ask - my math gets wierd at times!).
                                            The baby quilt now numbers 9 blocks and is GORGEOUS!
                                            Still to add though are the borders!
                                            Then back to the machine for quilting!

                                                  • We are in the kitchen this week!
                                                    Take 15 minutes and scrub your stove top!  Soak the knobs and drip pans in hot soapy water while you clean the stove top.  Some elbow grease and hot soapy water will take care of a lot!  Don't become a perfectionist and try to get it as clean as the day it was new.  Just do the best you can and then scrub the drip pans and knobs.  Don't scrub the knobs so hard that the numbers and words scrub off!
                                                    Anything that you do will be better than what it was!
                                                    Every once in awhile I get an email from a member with a mission suggestion.  I received this one and thought it was great!  

                                                    So here is your mission from a member for the kitchen today:
                                                    I was in the kitchen the other day putting away the silverware and noticed how gross the silverware holder had become!  Also, the area around the holder was filled with little bits of nothing..elastics, paperclips, ketchup packets!  A total mess, in other words.  I had the thought that it would be great to have a mission for this as I'm
                                                    sure there are plenty of FlyBabies just like me who don't think about it!
                                                    Today is Anti-Procrastination Day and we are still in the kitchen,
                                                    Your mission for today is to grab a trash bag and clean out your refrigerator.  You are to toss ANYTHING that will not get eaten any time soon.  This means that new salad dressing you decided to try but really don't like.  It is time to let it go.  Just as the rule applies to the rest of the house.  If you don't love or use it, lose it!  Get rid of the fruit that is a few days beyond when it was really edible, get rid of the veggies that are turning into a science project.  Check the dates on the cheeses that are potential science project.
                                                    You will be able to really make a better grocery list when your fridge is cleaned out of all the items you don't like and or don't use!

                                                    Your Mission for today should you choose to accept it is to declutter your plastic wraps and foil drawers, cabinets or shelves.  We all have a spot that we keep these items and there is always one empty box in there and some lone baggies that are trying to escape.  Toss the empty boxes, the rolls of plastic wraps that are too stuck together to work, and those strays that you are not sure if you should use them or not.
                                                    This is quick and easy!  Have Fun!

                                                  • Today is our last day in the kitchen and I want you to spend 5 minutes and check on the cleaning supplies and things under your sink?  Are there things that you don't use?  Are there items you have run out of and need to put on your list?  Now, what is up with your dish rags and sponges? If you need new ones, put them on the list too.

                                                    Enjoy your weekend!
