    Default Tackle Things Thursday!

    Wow I woke up with a lot of gusto today! Hope I still have it when I get home tonight after work!

    I hope to get these things accomplished by this evening:

    * empty and take out garbage and recycyling
    * move excess boxes to garage
    * sweep and vaccuum floors
    * switch towels and fold & put away the clean ones
    * clean bathroom & dust
    * refill my Brita pitcher LOL I keep forgetting and just putting it back!
    * invite a friend over to watch tv and 'catch up' tonight
    * respond to emails - backlog
    * start load of laundry of work clothes & hang to dry

    What do you ladies have planned for today?

    - Clean the craft crap off the dining room table (or a least staighten up)
    - Pack for powwow
    - Clean Kitchen
    - 2 Loads of Laundry (done the "unfrugal" way)
    - Vacuum rugs in the dining room, library, media room
    - Mail coups to coupon buddies
    - Start log to track ALL spending (scary but necessary)

    The main thing I've got to do is pack for a few days down in NC. My grand-daughter is getting baptized this weekend. It's such a blessing to see my kids bring her up to know the Lord! Glad we can go! I also want to load and reload the dishwasher. I have to get the cats food all set up outside for when we are gone. I have my last zumba class tonight(I get to go with my daughter). I'm cooking fried chicken for dinner so that we can have the leftover chicken on the road tommorow. I have to straighten up so that I don't come back to a untidy house. I have to get my hubby's lunch packed and him off to work later. Whatever else I can fit in.HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!
