097 / 365: Confession....

Disclaimer: This is NOT my closet.

However, my linen closet is almost like this. I threatened to clean it out today until.....VACATION STRUCK!!!

It was the perform storm (or I should say the perfect snore): MGR took the boys, a playmate, JSR and his son to the movies. This gave me three hours to get lots done. And I did. I got lots of SLEEP!! After I did a load of wash, I felt my bed calling to me, loud and clear. I answered the call and two hours later the closet was still a mess and the bedroom still needed to be cleaned.

Guess what? Those messes will still be there tomorrow. Maybe I'll get to them, maybe I won't. We'll see. I love vacation.

Until next time....slack away!

096 / 365: Fit man

The man fought all his enemies (asthma, allergies and exhaustion) to run a couple miles with his wife. Way cool, as we don't do that often. It was nice having a sweat buddy next to me on the treadmills.

After our little run, we brought the kiddos to the pool. MGR earned some downtime: Woody Woodpecker videos on his iPod touch. Classic cartoon. Classic guy!

Until next time....watch away!

095 / 365: Stormy....

I didn't see this coming.

After a morning of yard work and an afternoon of resting, I treated myself to a haircut. When I pulled in, I noticed some raindrops then the eerie sky. I didn't even know there was a chance of showers. Strange for me, a weather junkie.

Before I knew it, thunder, lighting and torrential rains arrived. The green pollen dust was washed off my van. I was hoping that these rains would arrive to wash my patio furniture, but alas, the homestead was dry as a desert.

The lazy side of me is hoping for lots of rain here tonight. This would permit me to pass doing yard work tomorrow morning. I could work in the house, not as strenuous and I can spend time with the boys (who are prohibited from going out in the yard during high pollen times). Or I could boycott work all together and just read my book. I love having to make such useless decisions on spring break!

Until next time...storm away! :-)

094 / 365: Ahhhh......

Enjoyable evening with the A family.....as usual!

Relaxation came in the form of mojitos. Fabulous concoction! I laughed, and more importantly, I relaxed! I SO needed that!

Until next time...mojito away!

093 / 365: Cleansing....

Phase 1 is done! Dusting and vacuuming complete. Two out of the three bathrooms done. And Hubby helped! Life is good!

I'm hoping this spring break will allow me to work on both the inside and outside of the house....and me!

Like the house, my inside needs a good cleaning: of negative thoughts, bad food, doubts and fears, anger and envy. Then I'll worry about the outside.

This Easter season, I hope to stay focused on this "spring cleaning". Lent was a challenge, but the power and hope of this season may guide me to cleanse myself of the nastiness I so despise. Any suggestions are welcome!

Until next time...cleanse away!

092 / 365: Book paradise

Spring Break has begun and I'm going to take a nose dive....into books!

I've got trashy fiction, geeky computer books, home repair books, gardening and landscaping books, magazines galore. Does anyone have any other good recommendations?

I hope one week off will be enough!

Until next time...read away!

091 / 365: Tick...tock...

It's not coming soon enough!

One more day of school / work. Can't wait for Spring Break!

Sadly, we're not going anywhere (anticipating dastardly pay cuts). Happily, it will be a time to rest, rejuvenate, reconnect, reunite, read, redecorate, repair, repeat.....

Bring it on....and fast!

Until next time...tick away!
