Good morning all. What is going on today?

Tomorrow school starts and today my step-daughter has orientation where she drops off her school supplies, finds rooms, lockers and all that fun stuff 7th graders do so they don't feel so lost on the first day. So off she went on the bus at 7:45 for a couple hours.

DD has an Orthodontist appt. today and her braces are coming off finally this month!!

I don't know what to do with myself this early in the morning.

I'm cleaning out our closet today and in serious need of donating more clothes.

Also I'm having the kids go through all their hair stuff in the bathroom and organize it. Not so hectic in the morning.

Have a great day.

I'm new around here, but I think I get the gist of these daily postings.

Let's see - around here today.

DH has a job interview at 2pm, so finishing pressing his clothes. (he has a job, but is always looking for one that doesn't require so much away time from home!)

I need to refresh my sourdough starter and bake some loaves this afternoon. Finished cleaning and cleaning out one side of the pantry yesterday - today it's on to the other side.

Hopefully this evening I can finish cutting up the two sets of old flannel pajamas I found in a *free* box at a yard sale and re-sew them into a patchwork cover for two sofa cushions I got in another free box (completely cleaned, so no worries!) for the kitties - they need some more kitty beds!

Good Morning!

I'm working today, I brought my lunch. Will go home and do some laundry and vacuum. Then I will work on a baby gift that I need to get finished.

Welcome to FV, Mingkitty.

Hurray for the kitty beds.

Good idea.

I also need to run out at some point and grab some hand soap and labels for my Avon catalogs.

Going to wash and hang dry a load of clothes. I try to do one per day and keep up on laundry!

I have dinner planned and taken out to thaw. I also need to do some yard work before it gets too hot

Laundry is all caught up.

I'm going to go to the store and the outdoor fruit-and-veg. market.

Then, home again, home again, jiggety jig. To make dinner and do some reading and TV.

Hey All I'm new to the forum..I had my weekly vocal lesson today and am getting ready for a recording session tomorrow. I think I drank to much water today! Is that possible??

Aloha all - new and old!!

Hopped on home after school so I could get to the pool early to exercise - it was lovely - noone else there - very decadent and lovely.

Need to put some cooling foods together as it's still rather warm

. Then it's back to cleaning out boxes - we are going to get rid of that rent a space realllllllllll soon!!
