I have work most of the day, but I also have 3 loads of laundry thatneed to be folded. I plan on making dinner as well. So not too bad of a day for me.

**gapeach** · 01-14-2010, 08:29 AM

I need to get some things done this morning as I work this afternoon. I need to put laundry away, iron, exercise, make the bed and put dishes away.

Good morning,

*Come home for a little while and do dishes and make beds
*Take something out for dinner tonight. It's just dd9 and myself this evening since dh is out of town until tomorrow and my MIL and dd18 work late.
*Run through the bank
*Stop at the store and buy my sinus meds and a gallon of milk
*Work 10:30-2:30
*Pick dd9 up from school and come home.
*After my shower and pj's are put on, I'll curl up in bed and catch up on my Bible study reading

It's still 9* here :snow: ... just so you know, I'm still COLD

Getting ready to start teaching for the day.

This afternoon I need to finish the Old Man's balaclava (I feel SO bad I couldn't finish it last night and now he's out there in this freezing weather without it)

Dinner will be creamy chicken casserole. I

my pantry because it keeps me from having to go shopping!!!

Dishes need to be put away, clean counter

**jamie79** · 01-14-2010, 08:51 AM

I need to do a couple of things
I am trying to pay the bills but the military website is giving me issues and I cant see dh's pay.
Later today I have to drop my car off and pick up the loaner. I have carbon build up in my engine and fuel injection so tomorrow when I pick up my car it will not be frugal.

**tigo** · 01-14-2010, 08:59 AM

Toasty 40* here! So happy it was above freezing over night.
I need to:
Finish laundry
Iron Clothes
Clean stairway area
Clean computer room
Clean 2nd floor bathroom

Dinner tonight will be chicken and rice with canned fruit

Good morning! It's not too bad here, either. Hopefully it will continue to warm up today, because my hilly driveway is one big sheet of ice! Yikes!

Today is work from 9 to 3. I plan on going to Target before work to look at cameras and start planning for dd's birthday in February. It will be a huge test not to buy anything! I love Target!

After work and picking up kids from school, I need to declutter the countertops, clean the spare bedroom, and do laundry. We are having some type of pasta tonight, probably just spaghetti. With garlic bread, of course!

Not going to be a very busy day. Having son & his family over for dinner. Should probably go grocery shopping but, I hate shopping so I might put it off for another day.

Other than that going to just gel today, sit back and relax and enjoy the heat wave...we are up to 40 degrees woo hoo!

**cab54** · 01-14-2010, 11:28 AM

32 degrees here. Very warm for January in the Yoop.

Some bathroom cleaning is in order.

Dinner in CP. (sausage and sauerkraut)

Knitting this afternoon/evening.

I woke up all achey and yucky feeling this morning, so I plopped down with coffee in front of the computer first thing. *le sigh* So here's what I still have ahead of me:

1. Shower
2. Go to the parish office and get parent newsletters, parish council minutes, 2nd grade class craft activities for Sunday copied and ready to go
3. Drag my lazy self out to the studio and see about finishing the second painting that goes with the other one, and see about submitting them (and hopefully more!) to the Slotin Folk Art Auction. (I got a letter yesterday soliciting me for some paintings - YAY!)

I guess those are my most pressing things today. I should sweep and mop, too, though. Dinner tonight is leftover spaghetti, so that is covered. But I need to get started on the other things.

On this Thrifty Thursday I hit most of our thrift shops - mainly looking for a crochet hook......found NADA.

Didn't buy much - pair of pants and a top.
