Yay, CrazyLady!!! Ya done good! Dang that insurance! Have you been able to grab that real estate agent yet? Maybe he has someone interested who is handy in the fixin' department. Then you could let the place go with a bit of a discount and not have to worry about getting it done yourself.

ed. to add: should have refreshed before posting. Ack! Hang in there, Hermi!

Y2k, babysteps, even just 15 mins of something after work adds up over the week. Then put those feet up guilt-free.

Since I'll be gone again for a while, I've been working on bringing my paper work, filing and control journal up to date, so the boys can find all the info and chores lists they'll need. Wouldn't want them to get bored or anything now.

Happy flubbin'!

The insurance agent said if it had been a one time emergency that resulted in the damage-- like a pipe bursting and spurting water everywhere, I would have been covered. But the gradualness of the damage is what did me in.

I still have not heard from my realtor, but he is supposed to come over this afternoon.

I'm so sorry Hermie! Hopefully when the realtor comes he will have a spurt of good news :-)

Sorry, Vee...not even baby steps last night...left for for at 8:00 am and didn't get home until 7:30...so much for 9 to 5..
I did make pizza for supper...made the dough, then made the toppings...it was delish!! was in bed by 9:30. Up and at 'em this morning though...cleaned the 'fridge from top to bottom.
Then went shopping to fill it up again. Also cleaned two drawers out.. More tomorrow.

Next week I'll take some more baby steps in the evenings...When I get home from work at a semi-decent time.

Last day of the month is just wretched in a bank

Trying again.

My living room:





A friend of mine said I should put the smaller couch against the wall opposite the big couch, move out the coffee table and move the big painting. Thoughts?

I think it would look good with the smaller couch across.

It looks very good, Hermes! Great job! The kitties seem to be enjoying it too.

I think I will try that tomorrow. I'm so tired!

Here's my backyard with my Buddha under the forsythia:



And my kitchen that I want to paint "sonic lime" if I end up staying:

Master bedroom (if I get the new place, I'm getting a new bedframe since my old one broke so many times I finally gave up on it!)



And the two cats you could see in the living room photos are completely unfazed. They have been with me through everything! They are 14 years old. The younger ones are a bit wigged. LOL.

I have no art on the walls of the bedroom anymore because the handyman filled in the nail holes when he painted after fixing the damaged roof and I don't want to add new holes to the wall while I am trying to sell.

Like my Redskins lamp, though?

Everything looks great. You have been a busy bee. Great lamp. In our bedroom, on our desk, we have a collection of A's bobbleheads, etc. that Kelly has gotten at the games. Not my choice of decorations but it is his room too.

Hermi, your friend had a good suggestion with the living room sofa and coffee table. I think it would make the space more cozy, and give it a better flow to the next room. Maybe move your dvd collection over next to the tv, too. I really like your picture-window-painting!

You are to be patted on the back for all your hard work. It shows! Now if I could just find enough time to do the same

I did manage to move a few pieces of furniture and clean two months worth of dust out of Kit's room! I also did my own laundry for the first time in a month. That took most of the day in itself, but baking cookies took a little of that time. I'll have to go tell Deanofwords his Hermits passed the taste test with flying colors! When that was done the oven was still hot, so I popped a frozen pizza, with a few toppings I added to it, in there for supper.

*April 2–6*

*Monday's Mission*

Okay, someone is confused. The zone work link says we're in the kitchen, but Kelly thinks we're in the dining room. Take your pick! LOL!

Y2krazy, just remember that you're never behind and that you can always start where you are. No guilt and no pressure. How did your weekend go? It must come as a shock to learn that FlyLady doesn't want you working gals to spend your entire weekend cleaning.

Hermi, your place looks marvelous. So clean and fresh. I love your yard...you did all that, too? Incredible! I love your forsythia and I love that it's blooming.

As for your living room and rearranging it some...yes, I think you could follow the suggestions already provided and cozy it up a bit. Get like things together...disguise some of the wiring as best you can. Can the coffee table be used in front of the sofa? You've got things lined up against the walls really well. ;>

Urgrace! So good to see you. You're fluttering when you should be resting probably after the week or more that you've experienced. Just remember that you're not behind either.

Mamie, you're a saint. In my world, those bobbleheads would get boxed or sent to another space that is all Kelly's. LOL!

Happy house blessing, everybody!

Kit's room looks great! I didn't want people coming in to visit him with all that dust. I did skip his paperwork the last two days, so that will have to be caught up real soon.

Today I tackled the dining room dust (and cleaning off all the tv screens in the house with used bounce sheets.) I'm getting out the teapot collection to display on a large shelving unit in there to see what it looks like.

Tomorrow before I do that, I'll take some 'before' pictures of my catch-all, do-all craft/sewing/paperwork/computer/storage room! It's time to start weeding it out, and the teapots are going to be part of the weeding process.

How are all your projects coming along, Vee? Is your remodel finished?

*Tuesday's Mission*

Just when I thought that I could blame April Fool's for the confusion, I find that FlyLady and Kelly are still not on the same page. I am going along with the missions because I do have some hotspots and that dining room closet — the one that I organized over a year ago with the "basket kits" — now needs another going over.

Urgrace, thanks for asking about the addition. Still not finished. We are aiming for everything to be accomplished before July 4. That's been the goal all along, but we'll have some cranking to do to achieve that from the looks of things.
This is further being messed with because it's a stormy week for us...snow, sleet, rain. Yuck. A little photo of before and now if you can see it. Ha!

C

Sounds as if you have a lot going on. I think your teapot collection will look beautiful out for Easter, Urgrace. I love photos!

How's everyone else doing? I need to check in on the remodel thread to see how it's going for NT.

Happy Tuesday flying, Everyone!

I spent all last weekend doing yard work. I mowed, I used the weed eater, I raked, I fertilized, I cleaned. Front and back yards. It was a lot of work but it looks so pretty for now.

Peeking in...even though I have no business being here or giving suggestions. I have been lazy and NOTHING is getting done around here.

But, I'm not loving the rearranged living room Hermi. You are losing to much floor that way. It makes the room look smaller.

I don't know how much room you have before you hit the doorway to your kitchen dining area. But maybe you can put the sofa where the loveseat is, put the end table that was by the TV at the end of the sofa then lead the loveseat off the end table. Making an L shape from the long wall. Putting the coffee table under your front window.

BTW I don't think you will have any trouble selling. I love your condo. I reminds me of mine before I remarried even the landscape out your front door. I really loved that place. It hurt my heart to sell it.

Thanks, Biloxi! I had my first showing yesterday, one day after being listed. My fingers are crossed. The only thing that really worries me is the damage under the kitchen sink.

Vee, I was getting ready to baby proof. I went out and bought all the gagets for drawers, doors and plugs and they disappeared. I have no idea where I put them. I even asked Kevin if he took them home thinking I bought them for them but he didn't. I'm thinking they have been carried out to Genes shop since it both him and I at Lowes that day. He says no but I bet that is where I will find them. That is when I go out there and look. Have I mentioned I have been lazy?
