Day one, 2007....what cha doin' today?

**PrairieRose** · 01-01-2007, 11:32 AM

Gripey and I are taking easy today so far. We've had our cereal, both surfing the net at the present and watching the Rose Bowl Parade. I've got a few things to do but not gonna push myself hard today.

For sure I will:
~workout
~straighten up around the house
~shower/hair/makeup
~a couple loads of laundry
I *might*:
~cook something
~sweep

I'm not feeling too energetic and we agreed to rest up today so I think that's about it for us. I hope you all have a restful day, contemplating what you want for the new year.

Taking down the tree, one bulb at a time.
Will take a nap later this afternoon.
Getting ready for the workweek.

**Hollyhandi** · 01-01-2007, 11:39 AM

Trying to get organized for Jan and the rest of 2007.
Need everything ready to send Kenny back to school and Doug to work
tomorrow.
Other than that enjoying today.

**Darlene** · 01-01-2007, 11:41 AM

I'm doing laundry & puttering.
Dh is taking down a tree.
Ds isn't home yet from being at a NYE party, I suppose he'll sleep when he does come home,lol.
Dd is probably sleeping in from being out last night & will prob come here for a visit today and/or tomorrow.

My one daughter moved out so my other daughter took over her room. It's taking me a little longer to get her room done due to working full time. So, today I took down the tape off the wall after done painting it, put light switches back on. Still have to paint the trimming but I figure in antoher month the room will be all done.

-all christmas stuff is put up and away for next year. Thank goodness!

-taking out extra boxes that I may use someday out to the dumpster.

-getting my clothes and other things I have to take to work tomorrow. This way I can relax and not rush in the morning.

-Might go to my sister's later today. If I can get the ambition to get out of my pajama's.

-Have supper done early today so all I have to do is warm it up tonight.

Well, I've been as busy as possible this morning so that I can rest this afternoon.

I've:
done a few loads of laundry
exercised
made chocolate chip cookies
made meatballs and frozen them
cooked sausage, sliced, and froze it
cleaned the kitchen
taken a shower
put both boys down for early naps

At 1:00, we're going to my father-in-laws for awhile to hang with the family. Then, when we come home, I plan on relaxing. Dinner will be leftovers and everyone (including me) will be in bed early so that we can be refreshed for work/school tomorrow.

**JustJoy** · 01-01-2007, 11:49 AM

I was planning on taking down the tree & decorations, but DH and I are both sick with nasty colds and neither of us has the energy. So far I've managed to take a shower, get dressed, and throw in a load of laundry. Now I'm ready for a nap

**Buckeye5** · 01-01-2007, 12:01 PM

Today:
Making Strawberry jello salad and italian sausages with green peppers to take to my parents house for dinner
Straighten up the house
Wait for DD#2 to get home from a friends house
Continue to think about my resolutions and 2007 goal

I have been completely smoke free for a few days and I am doing okay so far.

**emily_hope** · 01-01-2007, 12:10 PM

Taking it easy. My last day off for the holidays before returning to work in the morning. Ho hum. The DDs go back to school on Thursday and things will return to normal. Or what we call normal. LOL!

I have done laundry, emptied the dishwasher, made up my bed, cleaned the two downstairs toilets, worked on my menus and I am rolling up the change from the penny jar and change jar. Ready to get a fresh start for 2007. I am going to clean off our front porch. Make some cornsticks, mashed potatoes and a cake to take to my DMother's. My whole family gets together and eats a 'good luck' meal, today. I hope everyone has a terrific three hundred and sixty-five new days!

**Hardy1** · 01-01-2007, 12:24 PM

We took out 2 dogs to the beach today for a L O N G walk. It was great - sunny but with a blustery wind. Loads of people were out walking. Back to work tomorrow though!

**JEM** · 01-01-2007, 12:37 PM

I just woke up as it is only 9:14 AM here. My big plans are:
Clean living room
Clean bathroom
Clean kitchen
Laundry
Take down

tree!
If I get all that accomplished then I am going to try and round up some coupons and try the coupon and shopping thing. It won't be my first time using coupons, but first time at Walgreens and I hope it goes well.
Oh I forgot but I should probably try and clean my icky room and clean out clothes but I don't know if that will happen. I am moving kinda slow this morning!

Got a really busy day ahead. I slept late, but I've had breakfast and it's time to get on with it. I spent the last two weeks churning out some editing (turning in a $773 billing later today!!) but the apartment is a wreck. So today:

Partial water change in aquariums and de-algae-ing one of them
Laundry -- back to work tomorrow!
Cooking for the week
De-clutter
Put away the groceries (from days ago - blush, except I'm not paid by the hour to put away groceries, like I am for the editing)
Rearrange some kitchen storage, maybe
Maybe tonight do a couple of hours of editing to jump start January

Whew. And try to get to bed before 2-3 a.m. I usually work a night shift, and stay up late, but tomorrow I have to be at work at 7:30 a.m. Bummer. But I also get off at 5 and that's great!
