Good Morning,
I'm up. The outing last yesterday went from 4:30 PM to 11:00 PM so I was pretty much toast by the time we got back home. Lucklily it did not rain, we walked from dinner from Sugar Factory up to the "Snowflake Lane" parade route, watched, then girls shopped the mall for about 1.5 hours, chaufered people home, back home by 11:00 PM. This was on DD's wish list for break, worked out well.
I'm ready for the cleaner, but need to take a couple trashes out and go get some actual cleaners from the store before she gets here. Will work on rest of cards in den while she's here. I have been writing a new, good, updated list as I do the cards. When done I will type the list into a word document. My other list is practically in tatters at this point from many years, corrections, cross outs, hiliting, etc...lol.
Hope your day is off to a good start.
More later,
Z.

All my Christmas cards are in the mail. I also redid my address list - mine had so many cross outs and address changes. (Many of the cross outs were because someone died in the couple.) Unless I get some cards from people that are not on my list, my list should be good for next year. I got several boxes broken down and out in recycling. I filled one large garbage bag with shredded bank statements and from the 1990's. Don't think I'll need them any more. I have been working on my kitchen counters and have 3 out of 4 pretty well cleaned - plan to finish this today. Laundry is in the washer and should be ready for the dryer soon. Then I need to go to the store and get hand soap, poop bags, Oxiclean, and Downy Unstoppables. I enjoy reading about your puppies. I get tired reading about all you ladies do. Waylon and the ferrets are all napping.

Nancy, Nice to see your post today! You got a lot accomplished. Thanks for commenting on my dog posts, I try to keep it a minimum so that I don't drive Z crazy with my life which literally has gone to the dogs LOL.
Z, That mall trip sounds like it was a big success. I enjoyed reading about it--could just feel that teenage energy coming right off your post. Hope your day is going great!
Declutter list for today: One wind wall jacket 3 useless plastic lids One free dog toy container that didn’t work Awful smelling hair care product 2 old dog toys 3 plastic thingies 4 dog harnesses 2 leashes 2 collars one pair of gloves directions for a pan
Accomplishments: Organized the refrigerator Cleaned and organized two cupboards 2 loads of laundry Some ironing Picked up the house Picked up dog toys over and over Vac'd some Phone calls Prepared my WW steamable veggie packs Fixed peanut butter dog treats Trash taken out Work in process--hemming up the sleeves on a top
Printed the assignment for Clair’s Brilliant Buddy class. Read through it and she can do the new items already unless she shifts into brat mode. I have two weeks before the next class so we will have time to work on this. Mostly her attention span needs to be lengthened and she needs to be drug around Home Depot some more to work on behaving in public, specifically she would like all humans to be her love slaves so she acts so cute and wiggly that many people are attracted to her causing backsliding in the well behaved puppy category since she turns into a total love slob. Editing Samson and her today right out of this post. I will so glad when she is out of her surgery recovery period. Then they can go back to playing nonstop all day long.
Yoga to come.

Hi Nancy! Incredible kudos to you today on your list of accomplishements! Has to feel good shredding all that old stuff and having your list cleaned up for next year! Excelling work in the kitchen too!
Michelle, interesting CB list, good job! You doggies sound adorable, never tire of hearing about them.
I think it helps to know what else is going on in the days for people.
I got all but a few, like 3, cards done, which I'm waiting for address feedback on. I missed todays mail though on the rest, they will have to go tomorrow.
TaDas: -ready for cleaner, the house looks AMAZING!!!!!! -cards 99.98 % complete! -hauled back in the haul outs for cleaner to clean -took DS and his vehicle to have oil changed, he needs to see how that works -called painter who painted my friends house, he's available, he's going to come paint DD's room Wednesday!!! This will be exciting. Tomorrow she must organize, clean, put away so we can clear the room. Her new window covering should be arriving shortly then in the new year.
CB: -I have three bags, different stores, of things to return tomorrow, some ended up not needed, a couple were impulse buys I like "idea" of, but ultimately I know don't entertain that way, so they should go back and it will be nice to have those credits back on the card!
Craft/Product Update: -I put some of my designs onto items on the Zazzle site in different forms. A few of these worked out well, some are just "okay", and one is really, really ugly...like REALLY ugly. Hoping for X-mas miracle this ugly project looks somehow better on the other thing I had done with it. But another miracle may be that shipment might be lost/stolen and maybe I can just cancel the order...haha.
Have a great evening!
Z.
