Clean Sweep

Well I didn't bring in the New Year with much excitement. I made no resolutions. But I've been cleaning and updating.

My apartment is working on be thoroughly cleaned. With a couple of new pieces and re-organized. This will probably take a while. But all with time.

And well I've done some updating here in my blog home. Some of it was easy, some took some internet searching, some took a lot of trial and errors, and well I also got some help from Anina from NestKeeping.

So what do you think? Anything just look stupid? See something you just hate? Please let me know. All feedback welcome.

Well it's back to work tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to it. I've got almost a week and half of catch up to do if my boss didn't do any of it. Hope you're week will be off to better start then mine.

Well. . . .

I hope that everyone had a good Christmas weekend. I hope that Santa was good to those who still believe. I know he was good to me and mine. I'll share what I got later.

We had a good Christmas. But I'm glad that everyone has gone home. It was a little crazy in my little apartment.

I got two project finished. But I sent them off to their new homes before I got pics. I know I can get pics of one in a couple of weeks if not sooner. The other one I have a request for a photo in.

I did get a chance to watch Julie & Julia. I know a lot of people out there have watched this. Have you? What did you think? I thought it was good. . . but not as good as all the hype. I was disappointed by it. I'm not sure why. Anybody else feel or thought this?

Well, I have a week of vacation put in for this week, and I'm off to work to work on payroll this morning.

Goals

Well good morning! The sky is clear, the air is crisp and we're looking at another almost 60 degree day. For us here in Minnesota, that's amazing for this time of year. And on the even brighter side it should be staying like this into the weekend.

I told my husband last night that I wish there was about three more of me. That way I could get everything done that I wanted to and needed to. I'm sure that I'm not the only one out there that feels this way. I always set myself goals or should I say to do lists. But I can never get them done. Things keep moving to the next days list. Then to the next weeks list. And it doesn't matter whether it's housework or crafting, I just have a hard time getting things crossed off the list.

For example last night's list went something like this:
1. do dishes
2. clean living room
3. fold last two loads of laundry
4. finish sleeve on Squirm's sweater and sew shoulder seams
5. take half hour to sew on quilt

And well I got #4 done. That's it. And well it doesn't help that I fell asleep at 8:30 in the chair watching Big Bang Theory. And well #'s 1 and 2 would have taken all of a half hour to get done. I'm just not sure where the time goes in the evening.

So in hopes of getting more done I'm going to post one goal here that I want to get done this week. I want to get Squirm's sweater done this weekend. That includes buying a piece of ribbon for it.

Sorry for such a long, boring post with no pictures. But on the plus side I do have a post in mind once I get the pictures out of the camera and into my laptop. See another thing that I want to do. So any tips on getting things done? Anybody else want to hire a maid and a nanny some days so they can get to work on fun stuff without feeling guilty?
