Mellow......

gja1000 · 09-26-2009, 06:27 AM

No rain or dreariness here in Texas today. We are having one of our spectacularly gorgeous days. And with over 6 inches of rain in the past couple of weeks, everything looks green and fresh with lots of fall flowers blooming all over the place. It is really pretty today. I love rainy dreary weather, but then one of these days is pretty darned nice too!

My house has been too messy to feel very mellow!! In case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm not the best housekeeper. If I try to do any project the whole house suffers for it!! I have a counter in the kitchen that catches everything and it doesn't help that that's the place where everything is moved to off of the bar!! I'd love to feel mellow, but I can't say that I'm enjoying this weather or anything else. I do have the living room re-arranged. The painting is almost done and the part I have left isn't where the furniture is. I just have to get a gallon of paint to get it finished. I worked on the dining room and moved everything into the kitchen!! It's coming along.....it really is!!!

Actually, today I watched Karlie and we went to garage sales. Then we went back to Dae Lynn's house and cleaned Karlie's room and did a LOT of laundry!!

I so understand Diana!
I know exactly what needs to be done and how to do it.. it's finding the motivation to do it!

I am the world's best procastinator I swear. I sit here thinking about doing this and finishing that.. and continue to sit.

Having company is my best motivator. It is amazing what I can do in a short time when I feel I have to.

It was pretty dreary this morning too, but I loved it. I was going to clean my carpets today, but I did so much other odd and ends that tomorrow I will be able to get it done. The first dog to pee or poo on it will wish they hadn't.....LOL. They'll be confined to the kitchen until the carpet dries. I think it's suppose to be decent but cool tomorrow so I can have the windows open with a fan blowing over the carpet....should dry fairly quickly.

I also love a rainy day. I love to curl up on the couch with the dogs, and watch TV.

I have some cleaning up to do, rearranging cabinets, closets, etc., but I just do not feel like it. I usually wait until I just get up and do it. It's good living alone in that sense. Nobody cares if it never gets done!

I understand you completely, Shada!!!! If company's coming things get shoved in drawers and closets so fast that your head will spin!!! We think alike, GF!!!

OK, can I join the "company's coming" motivation club. I can look at something for weeks, but if company is coming, I can clean it up in an hour!

I want in that club too Gayle. Wonder why this is? We keep putting it off, phone rings, someone's coming over and we are like cleaning machines!!

We really do care what people think! We don't want them thinking we are lousy housekeepers.
