Sometimes.. you've just gotta.
But also like.. I don't wanna :P
Normally, anywya! Today I was feeling it.. and it looked so nice that now I want to KEEP doing it! :P
I've been watching All the Light we Cannot See, and it is really good. I could have sworn I read the book but I don't remember it, so maybe not... but I want to, now, to see what I missed.
I think that is how it goes with cleaning, the more you do, the more you WANT to do because it looks so nice. Until you are exhausted and you vow to never deep clean so much again LOL I know that when I start tidying up, I want to keep going...but often I get lost in the "but where will i PUT this???" bog-down
Yeah, right now it's more of a "Let's throw this away" type of thing :P
Which is important too, sometimes!
We even got rid of a big old lego table/desk thing for toddlers that Isabelle hasn't used in a few years, we just put the legos in a box. Or two boxes. A lot of them got put into the bathtub for a good soak though, they were on the floor and.. definitely needed it.
She's taking them out and wiping them off now, actually.
Tomorrow more is going out.. a coat rack that we never use because it's kind of wobbly, weird kitchen tools that we haven't used in years and just.. left in the upstairs kitchen because.. we didn't need them. Time to send them on to a new home!
And then.. FINALLY.. to put up the tree and the garland, etc!
Oh yes. Purging and removing things is very important> I did a lot of that over the summer while I cleaned out the attic. I still have random bits in my bedroom/closet and some in the kitchen I need to get rid of instead of hanging onto... and omg so much in the backhouse that honestly almost all of it just needs to be dumpstered. I REALLY hope I get enough $ to be able to get a dumpster and get rid of MOST of that stuff in the back house!!! I mean, I WILL get enough, either Jan or June, BUT I don't know how much I'll need for redoing the mortgage so I'm a little leery of getting a dumpster til I do the mortgage, if that makes sense? In case I need the $ for the mortgage and all the fees/costs that I'll have to do to get it
Oh yeah, we definitely need another dumpster.. or two.
I'm buy nothing-ing a lot, right now, just to get it gone. Went through the kitchen the other day and cleaned out a bunch of utensils, and it was definitely time for that, too! Now we can close all the doors :P
Oh yes. I got rid of a lot of excess utensils and pots/pans and other things in the kitchen a year or two ago...some I gave to Ryan others I just said "byebye" and trashed/donated! I really don't understand how we end up with so much stuff LOL Its like it multiplies behind our backs, the utensils and other random bits... wires. omg. wires, cords, strings of I don't know what it goes to, all in an old christmas popcorn tin or two...I really need to trash most of that. I have NO IDEA what any of the cords go to anymore. Obsolete chargers most likely! :P
If I didn't REALLY like the little forks I have, I'd totally get myself a new silverware set and get rid of the odd mismatched crap I have. But I cannot seem to find another set that has the forks I REALLY like so I keep just putting it off and hanging onto those forks LOL - I use the salad forks for my dinner fork because I feel the dinner forks are too big. But everyone else uses the dinner forks LOL
oh wow, another forum point!
Yeah, I don't know how we end up with so many! It seems impossible, doesn't it?! Especially when we don't buy them like.. where do they come from?!
I think they're procreating in the drawers, honestly :P
Well too, like, one of the things we did today.. was put away the swim stuff. That we hung up after washing.. in JULY. :/ Why did it take so long?!
Oh dear lol yes thats a bit long for it to be hanging around. But eh. Yes. Sometimes stuff just gets stuck off to the side and not moved.... I still have to put up my halloween stuff properly :P Its just in a pile on my bedroom floor instead of back in the storage box I got especially for it...
Sorry, Nathan came to chat and now he's off to the football game again. We're in the playoffs. Fun. He said we are 12-0 for the year. Nice eh? I didn't realize LOL
Sometimes you just don't see things, I feel like. :P
It's almost time to listen to the football game. I really hope they win this one, but apparently the other team plays pretty dirty so.. we'll see.
Haha, just read your edit! We're 12-0 too, or 13-0 now?! State semi finals tonight!
Yup. Anything on the far side of my bed gets ignored until I wash my sheets again and have to walk over there...and there is a big pile of random things I need to decide where to store because it IS stuff I want to keep, but NOT keep in my room....so like, ugh, It might go back in the attic. Its kids stuff tho, like things Katie left here and wants to keep...or some of it is Ryans stuff that is still HERE instead of in his storage shed, so yea. It might go in the attic and THAT won't bother me. If THEY want it, they can climb up and get it LOL
I'd say that's fair!
Or Ryan could just come and pick up his stuff, honestly :P But in the attic where no one will see it is a good second choice!
Eh. He said to leave it here when I mentioned it to him. He got plastic storage tubs to put all his stuff in storage, and this stuff is just in a cardboard box. So yep it'll just go in the attic til whenever
I think I had better luck turning in pumpkins. I vended and am turning in the cheaper food to Charity - trying to get the items I want from her. I got 4 books when I turned in 80 pumpkins (*plus a few other items) and so far with the vended food I've only gotten OLD stuff when I get anything at all
Oooh yeah I need to do that too. Ughhh haha.
I'm still questing for now, though. I'll get there, I guess.
I love yoru little dragon, what a perfect little fireside HA!
Yes :) I love the hug buddies! All different colors! I can match whatever outfit i want But for fireside I usually go with red/orange/brown colors lol
I finished my quests before I vended.
I've never seen them before! I love them!
Ugh so far it's 8-0 them, and we got stopped on the 1 yard line. Ouch. It's NOT looking good for us, even though it's only the first quarter. :(
Really? They're OLD!!! :o
Hey 8 points isn't much. Nathan says that for the last few games he's been to, our team nor the other team scored in the first half, then we came back and whipped butt. I said ok then, we're a come-back team then LOL
We've been kicking butt in the first half.. the first QUARTER, every game.
So.. we'll see. Hopefully we can come back from this!
I swear I've worn one of these dragons just about every year, so I really don't know how you didn't see them before LOL But eh.
I put on Snoopys Christmas and now somehow I'm on the oldies? Like I just listened to Sweet Caroline, Running Bear and now Uptown Girl ??? What kind of eclectic mix do I have on my youtube dies laughing
