Ummmmm......

Okay! I made progress today. I also realized there's bit of non-progress going on in that I'm not sure I know where the book is. Which is going to make it quite difficult to really move forward in this whole endeavor. I do have to take off on a random side tangent and agree with my Auntie, who thinks that I should take my blog on the road with music and singing and prop sinks and vacuums and things. I think it could be big! Okay, back to the real world. I FOLDED THE LAUNDRY!!! This is the point where someone throws ticker tape (somewhere not in my house so I don't have to clean it up) and bands play and girls twirl batons in small skirts. Fantastic! *Sidenote: how cool would that be if that happened when you accomplished a goal?* The down side, I totally forgot about the sink. I did get on a bit of a tangent which was good. I folded that laundry and did a whole other load of laundry (that is of course sitting around waiting to be folded) I took all of the other laundry and put it in baskets to be washed. I even took you-know-who's empty baskets into the bedroom so he could put them in a proper place (i.e. NOT the middle of the living room.) I also put away a couple of storage containers, finished off my costume, loaded up all the little bags of trash into one big bag, and scooped out the cat poop. Oh ya, I also went on a banzai attack mission on the flower bed outside. It started out innocently enough with me watering my tomatoes (I'm trying to grow something on purpose here, and even something edible....WISH ME LUCK!) and while I was doing this I noticed the poor little plants that were dieing in their teeny pots that needed to go in bigger pots. Which led me to look over to where our poor rhody was being completely and utterly taken over by blackberries and some sort of vine. I got pissed and started ripping things out with abandon. Which is all fine and dandy for our rhody. Not so fine and dandy for the giant pile of weeds literally in the middle of the walk way to the front door (I didn't know what to do with them!) And really truly all of the proceeding stuff pales in comparison to my major shocking accomplishment. Dun dun duuuuuunnnnnnn!

I took an Ikea bag (you know those giant blue ones that you could probably fit, not one, but two small children in?) chock full of clothes to the thrift store to sell them. YAY! Sorta. Because even though I called them and told them that I was bringing a HUGE bag of clothes and they said I could and that they would take them. When I got there they said no. And that I had to make an appointment for a different day. But they would gladly take 15 items. BLAH! So the giant bag of clothes is out of the house! (Hallelujah! Its been sitting in the bedroom for probably a year now, slowly collecting more and more) But now it is infesting my car with clutter, but only till next Friday. I can handle that, right?

So that was my day in cleaning! My goal for tomorrow is to fold that load of laundry and find the book. May the force be with me!
