I'll start it!

Still working on sorting out my closet. *grumble*
Dishwasher loaded and running
Load of laundry washing
Chicken thawing for dinner- not sure what to do with it yet

Teaching two classes tonight and prepping for performance tomorrow, so it's going to be a busy night. And it's going to be about 95 today, so the studio will be hot= ugh.

I'm off to water tomatoes- have a good one!

~Very happy this morning to see an email with a refund of $100+ in shipping charges for the curriculum I bought. They ran a free shipping promotion the day after I made my purchase(obviously a large order!) So I emailed them and asked for an adjustment and got it. Yay!
Also happy this morning to see that I sold two more items on Ebay.

Right now I'm eating a homemade bagel and drinking coffee with real cream(oh yum!)
Today's plans include:
*soothing a majorly fussy baby
*dealing with two kids recovering from stomach flu(hopefully last night's 2 am bucket brigade was the last I'll see of it)
*packing and shipping items sold online
*cutting out diaper pieces from t-shirts
*more purging
*listing more items to sell
*beef empanadas for dinner
*bottling home-brewed beer tonight
*and staying cool in the AC!!!

Hope everyone has a Frugal and Fun day!~

Went to CVS. Have an appointment later this afternoon. Yuck the heat. Meet friend for dinner.

Need to do some more research later on.

Today's to-do:
Finish laundry - I don't even know why that one is on the list - it's so ongoing... I start a load in the morning, switch it over after lunch, remember to get it out sometime after dinner and fold and put away by morning - and start all over again LOL
Finish writing lesson plans for this week - um, yeah, should have done that sunday!
Clean out fridge
Go to trash
Go to walmart for pharmacy and bank
Clean toys in living room and kids rooms.
Phew!
Also, I am doing school right now. Dinner is meatballs and pasta. After dinner, I will clean up and pass out

Leaving on road trip from TX to PA on Thursday.

Eating leftovers to clean out fridge
Washing clothes
Emptied ice maker for the 2nd time into a bag in the freezer.
Put bottles and larger containers of water in freezer
Will use to fill cooler for trip. Bottles and containers will last longer. Hopefully we will be able to get ice at the motels we are staying in.
Packing snacks purchased on sale with coupons for trip.

Got up early and rode my bike and then fixed Weight watchers egg casserole for breakfast. Made egg salad for lunch. Set steaks out to cook for dinner. Worked on needlepoint pillow project. Did one load of laundry. It's too hot to do much today. I have a dermatologist appointment later today. I'm a little nervous since I want him to check for any signs of skin cancer. Planning on taking a swim later this evening.

Hey, Mary! I live in PA, and last year I took a trip to Texas

Not huston, tho - it was lubbock.

So far I have done school, been able to keep the kitchen clean, did lunch, finished the laundry.
Can't go anywhere 'till later today (like after dinner) so I won't be able to do the trash, it will be closed. So I can't clean out the fridge. Maybe thursday (it's only open tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays.) It feels too hot to clean up, but I may have to at least try.

Vacuumed
Loaded & unloaded dishwasher
Worked on math curriculum
Tidied up the kitchen
Make a caprese salad & getting ready to have dinner with friends
Will run & do an online class when I get home
NO SPEND!

Gathered up the returns I need to do (and found the receipts!) and loaded into car. Will take them back next time I *need* to drive... Will also drop stuff at Savers to donate that trip (where does it all come from?!).

Yesterday I returned our one and only cable box. Dh and I decided to go TV-free...he posted our TV on craigslist Sunday evening...there's a guy coming this evening to look at it and hopefully BUY it!! Cross your fingers for us!

If it all works out the whole get-rid-of-the-TV-and-accessories project will be done by 7pm!

Wanted a latte'...made one here at home...yum!

Gathered up cleaning and packing supplies to take with me tomorrow...going to help a friend pack/clean, as they're moving (in town). We're bringing potatoes and she's got a chicken she needs to cook - perfect! And that means we're not doing our usual "eat out" with them!

Finished up the laundry...two loads, done and put away! Printed a couple coupons and a mail-in rebate... Finally put pictures in the little frames I got at Savers, so my shelf is looking nice.

Making egg salad sandwiches for dinner...there was a big sale on eggs last time I grocery shopped, so I got a bunch! Of course, you can only eat breakfast so much, so we're going for boiled eggs for snacks and egg salad for supper.

Got the kitchen cleaned up, bed made, and general tidying... Still need to get some paperwork taken care of... THEN, I relax and read!
