Happy, I went with the no interest financing option and put it on my credit card. As long as I pay off the credit card each month, it spreads the cost of the machine out over a year. A friend recommended the Oreck to me; I took her out to lunch after the first time I used it.

I'm here. I need to catch up on the board. Things have been really...not good...lately. The big thing tho, was that we realized today that we have to move this year. A new leasing company took over on 3/1, and we just received utility bills from the complex from 12/21-1/21--something we have never received before. So, with the new company, comes me really decluttering EVERYTHING that doesn't move around here and looking for a new place for the five of us. I'll catch up and comment soon. It just feels good to be moving again after falling off the ladder and bruising myself up beyond belief. Plus, I finally have gotten some sleep, which helps a lot.

Nope, Wood Preen is entirely different again, but don't worry! I am sure that once spring/summer arrives, you'll get them done the way they should be done. I hear you about the bald floors, never finished at all, zip, nothing, nada. Very aggravating, I am sure. Puppy, what's going on in your world that requires a "boil order" for goodness' sake? Edited to add: Awwww, Laurie, you fell off the ladder, too? Poor kid! What are we going to do with you? You sound almost excited about having to move...is it a blessing in disguise?

What color/s did you use, Wapland? It's a good feeling to get it all pulled together, isn't it?! Puppy, I have family members who are allergic to paint fumes, as well. It's not easy for them because whenever something needs doing they need to leave for a few days. How long before you can enter a freshly painted room?

not sure - but my dentist appointment a month ago was just awful due to fumes. My dentist has relocated - love the new office - but they were still doing work on it and they were varnishing or something and I walked out (after a routine dentist visit - cleaning/xrays and such) with a pounding headache from just that short exposure. My hygienist is preganant and fume sensitive as a result - but it wasn't just us - everyone in the office was going 'what is that smell'. I know i've walked in my aunt's front door before and two steps in could smell fumes from her laundry room walls and she'd painted over a week before (she was amazed that I could smell that)

Those colors sound wonderful...love a man with a vision! Will look forward to seeing any photos you post. Haven't been doing much more than putting out hotspots with an added houseguest, but after tomorrow, it'll be back to the usual routines, I hope.

Posting in a lovely green today for a change of pace. Being stormed in today with an ice storm and a snowstorm to follow, I definitely am feeling the need for change. Wondering what all of you flybabies are up to these days...Laurie? Lum? Puppy, have you participated in FlyLady's survey for Dr.Neal:Do you feel ill when you are exposed to perfumes or chemical smells manifesting with headaches, dizziness, sinus congestion, or shortness of breath? I don't understand how his mind works but hey people don't understand my shiny sink either. Let's see if we can come up with some information for him. If you experience any of these symptoms and you are unable to log into Yahoo, please send an email to FlyLady@flylady.net with YES in the subject line. If you don't experience these symptoms then please answer NO in the subject line.

Vee's getting fancier every day.LOL I accidentally read that flymail and figured why bother to answer "no", he is obviously interested in the ones *with* allergies. Looking forward to those pics, Wappy. And most especially of the new and improved, sexy loo. Landi, don't forget the before and after pics. Yay, Lk, if you gotta move, you may as well make the most of it. Ever since dh retired we have been collecting stuff. Before we would move every few years which always provided an opportunity for turfing and/or yard sales. Now I gotta do it the Flylady way. Puppy, I hope you are done boiling your water!? Not too many ambitions at my end this week. Trying to just do the regular routines in the house and curving. Hopefully, we can tackle that storage room this coming or the following weekend. Depends on my energy level, whether I can lift that whip or not. In the meantime, I am enjoying watching y'all break a sweat.

It's quiet in here. Message from Laurie. She's having computer issues but hopes to have them resolved tomorrow or Saturday. She'll check in ASAP.

Vee mentioned Restore-a-Floor here the other day, so I'm popping in to say that I ordered some; it came promptly and I am very pleased with it. We have the same kind of parquet floors as in their illustration HERE. Although ours were still pretty shiny from the cleaner I've been using (Restoration Hardware) they weren't smooth at all; little scratches, microscopic dings, I guess; but after the Restore-a-Floor they are still shiny but very smooth as well. It's much faster to run the Swiffer over them for a quick crumbs pickup. So, thanks so much for the tip, Vee! By the way, I found it cheaper here: As On TV Anybody here sew--as in making clothes for yourself/others? I've discovered the most wonderful pattern source! Imagine--a pair of pants that fit the first time I used the pattern! I'll share more if anyone's interested. Not expensive, either.

Yes! I am very interested in the pants pattern. Glad that the restore a floor worked and glad that you found a cheaper source.

Thanks, Spinner. Check your folder and your incoming mail, too. My goal today is several hours worth of 15 minute tasks. I'm all alone except for the cat and it's blowing a gale out there so no chance for getting out or for having anyone come in. Perfect weather (cough, sputter) for getting some chores done. Happy flying to all of you, too!
