Fantastic Friday

Wow can't believe I'm writing two days in a row. Got quite a bit accomplished yesterday. Another busy day ahead of me today. We went out to dinner last night. First time we've been in quite a while. It was nice and relaxing. I finally found a spot where I can buy a mug warmer to keep my coffee warm in the morning at Prepared Pantry. I ordered one this morning. Can't wait until it gets here, no more lukewarm morning coffee! Well, I'm off to do more laundry ---- will the pile ever shrink? Hmmm...

Trying Thursday

Well I am trying to get a bunch accomplished today. So far so good! Hubby has been remodeling the bathroom and has stuff all over the house so I have not been doing much, BUT .... it's getting to me and I have to clean some. So far he has the new subfloor done, new tub/shower installed with the surround, wiring re-done and most of the drywall up. What isn't up is sitting in my living room/dining room. Ugh!!! So far today I've cleaned out the fridge and did some laundry, and some general pick up and toss. Still have bunches to do, so talk to ya later!
