Whew! I'm FINALLY back online! I do admit,. however, that not being able to read or post anything (or play games) did mean that (a) I got a LOT done (am involved in Spring Housecleaning - got rid of a LOT of stuff - old videos, ancient spices - and a MOUNTAIN of papers!!!!! (b) I also got my cabinets and closets clean (well - all except 3 of them!) (c) I sewed up a storm! Start to finish on a little quilt - Charleston - which, of course, I changed all around and will NOT put borders on - because it is darling WITHOUT the borders!! I still have to quilt it though! I also am almost completely done with the 5 zillion and one piece Tobacco Road quilt - and it is GORGEOUS! Pix as soon as I get all these things done! I hope to have MOST (not all, unfortunately!) quilted by the end of the month! and will post pix then!
Oh yeah - why was I offline? broken power cord! I have a new one now - and am so glad!

Goals for WE 05-30-15 and WB 05-31-15
Trying again - because - I'm drifting - blast it!
Actually - have been studying - some (not enough), was babysitting quite a bit with the most beautiful baby in the world!, have been ignoring my cleaning - and my quilting as much as possible (yes, I AM in the queen's court - somewhere!)
Mostly I have decided this weekend - I am going to clean this place up (NOT done yet!), plant the garden (which has been completely re-designed - don't ask!) - and which is DONE!, sort the papers out (yeah - right!), pay the bills (MOSTLY done - and I'm broke again!), babysit (done this morning!), dehydrate stuff - hopefully, study, quilt - and in my spare 2.5 seconds that I have designated for sleep - achieve world peace!
Uh huh!

A Change of Pace
I'm hoping to do away with all the listing of my To Do items on my blog - BUT I do need to have the list visible so I don't totally ignore everything. So, I'm trying something a little different. I found a side bar that allows for text - and hopefully that will work and that I can change it daily. Hopefully. which will leave THIS part for any commentary (or not) on what is going on - or on life in general. At least that's the game plan. Now to see if it works!
Mind you, I do babysit. Although I only babysit for 3-4 hours a day, I seem to have problems "shifting gears"! which is something I truly do want to get past!

Best laid plans for today!
Ugh! As much as I dislike this - I NEED to do a To Do list - probably daily! At least for now!
Today is Sunday and I don't know whether or not Wendy will contact me and feel up to quilting or not (she has chronic fatigue syndrome BADLY!) If she can, then I will be quilting and chatting with her. Otherwise - here is my game plan........... and I KNOW I'm seriously behind (YET, Still, AGAIN!)
EXERCISE
Yoga - go over Week 5 - AGAIN! This is what happens when a person does NOT exercise for 2 weeks! Well.... having to go OVER AGAIN a week's lesson plus, more importantly, not being able to move!!!! Anyway - Yoga - Week 5 AGAIN! Today - the 3rd routine (Preliminary leg pull, chest expansion, abdominal lifts - which I HATE!, eye exercises, shoulder stand and alternate nostril breathing while sitting in a half lotus position. Oh joy! But then - I will be able to MOVE and I will feel more energetic. It's just the getting there and the unjoyful abdominal lifts that I dislike!
Strength exercises - today is core exercises - and WHY did I put all the ones I hate on the SAME day as abdominals in yoga? Ugh!
Cardio for today - ummm - I looked around here, so my cardio for today will be to put on a bouncy type dance record - and clean my bunions off for 30 minutes (includes, dust mopping, floor scrubbing, wiping down kitchen cabinets, cleaning OUT kitchen cabinets - that is, all the stuff I was SUPPOSED to do this week - and didn't!)
HOUSE
It is really Zone 3 that begins today. I'm pretending that hasn't happened yet! I'm still working on Zone 2! Uh, that is, I'm BEGINNING to work on Zone 2 - dusting down ceiling and walls, wiping off fingerprints (mine), cleaning the refrigerator, stove, Going through my cabinets - one at a time and this part I will NOT get done with today (what doesn't get done today gets worked on either once a week or else on the NEXT Zone 2 week- haven't decided yet!) and - oh yeah - the floor! The floor abused by overflowing dishwashers and sinks!
I'm past the worst (hopefully!) of the sinusitis and no longer have the major sleepies wherein I become a human zombie (quite literally - I can NOT keep my eyelids open!) so now it is time to stir up all the dust I'm allergic to and clean the cabinets so I can get clogged up again!
Also - I want to finish up (strongly begin) the WHB or weekly home blessing - which is a bit more - but not much more - than a kiss and a promise towards dusting and dustmopping the rest of the place to keep it from reaching a screeching crescendo!
Should there be time today - or this coming week - I want to hang up some kitchen curtains (don't ask! Sore point between myself and my son! I LIKE curtains! CLOSELY woven curtains! which hopefully my cats will find B o r i n g!
GARDEN PREP
With 3 foot and more of snow outside - and it would be more - but it just packs down between storms! - this seems ridiculous! But seriously - it SHOULD get warm somewhere between now and the end of May. Hopefully! If not - I'm moving south and letting the glaciers have their way in my back yard!
Anyway - I was SUPPOSED to do this last month - but then things wouldn't be interesting, would they!
ONIONS! It's time to plant onion seed - inside! (could have been planted anytime since last November!) Hopefully I'll remember to label the dratted containers! And hopefully I will find a way to keep my beloved kitties OUT of the planted in dirt! I do NOT want to find any surprises waiting for me to grub around in the dirt!
PAPERWORK
Oy vey! Do I have paperwork coming out my ears!
First off - to gather it all together! THEN sort the stuff! THEN to make appointments with myself for the days to work on it! However for that to happen - SORT the stuff FIRST!
EDUCATION (tomorrow)
QUILT (tonight)
Tonight I want to finish up the last of Peggy's table mat.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh - Wendy called - and so now - on to quilting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- 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.

Ta Da for Week 40
QUILT
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!

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!

Wednesday - already??? 07-09-14
![]() |
| This is me! WHY do I love this feeling/emotion/picture so much??!!! Anyway, today - laundry day! |
Then came home and have been a good girl the rest of the PM - sorting out papers! It was only when I realized that I was carefully moving stuff from ONE pile to ANOTHER - and then BACK again that I called a halt to that! Also to the audio book - which is interesting but after listening to several discs - I'm STILL not sure whether it is my cup of tea or not! Would have liked a nap - but with all the iced tea in me, my eyes kept springing open and my brain would start telling me all the stuff I could do - all over again! Think I'll slow down on the tea tonight though!
STILL haven't done any of my studies - but at least I'm getting some other stuff done! Oh - and I also decided to start another quilt once I finish up quilting this table runner plus another one! (or several) I've already chosen it - Buckeye Beauty - and the pictures of it are gorgeous! Scrappy but with only one fabric for background - which I may do that way - or not, depending on what I have!
