Mad Dash (intermission)

Woohoo!!  So much to do, so little time, so thankful for caffeine!

Where to begin the update???  Ah, Day 7, Operation Air Dry. Surprisingly enough, I am doing fine with no dryer. I've  never been so conscientious about laundry as I have been the last week. I honestly think the dryer dying on me was a blessing in disguise. Granted, Mini-Me 'cleaning' her bedroom has put me a few loads in the red, but for the most part I'm keeping up! I found an extra tension/shower rod in the attic so I either put that up in the boys lair or in the shower for extra shirt hanging space. I've got a system going on and it's working great!

Operation Make the apartment look like decent people live here going very well.  I've managed to stay one step ahead of the demon hordes who reside with me. Just don't open any doors or cupboards....

Operation Kitty Salad Bar/Spa. I'm managing to foil this one. I've spent the last few hours making hanging plant holders out of my mad hemp stash (that's hemp stash, we won't discuss the other stash). Nothing fancy, just something to keep my plants out of snacking range. My poor pothos is very ragged and my dwarf palm is not much better. For plants that are supposed to be poisonous to furry heathens, my cats are surprisingly healthy. Now I just have to grab some sort of hardware apparatus to hang said snack bars from.....

Operation Impending Doom.... Ah, the candle party. I don't often have people in my abode so I have a lengthy list of things that must be done, things I'd like done, etc. etc.

  • repaint & stencil coffee table
  • recover living room pillows
  • make a yoga mat bag for my strat mat
  • sew area rugs together (they look great but crack kitties skidding through house ala Tom Cruise/underwear scene makes them skitchy)
  • New living room curtains (middle room curtains being converted to 4 valances)
  • paint furnace door
  • new shelf curtains in middle room
  • slip cover for my vacuum & sewing machine(same fabric as above curtains)
I imagine most of that may get done. I'm hoping.....

Operation Quit reading other peoples blogs so I can quit adding to my lists of things I must try. Complete Failure. I have found so so so many things I want to try out..... decoupaging furniture, brown bag/glue treatment for the stairs, world peace, gardening (I am going to make a window box herb garden for my kitchen!!!) and a thousand other things....

Ok, intermission over. As soon as I get batteries I'll start posting pics of all my projects.

Till then...

I was going to put something witty here, demanding your praise, ideas, input or much appreciated criticism here, but you know what to do. And if you make me cry, I'll have to flog you with soggy items. (unless its funny, I appreciate funny)
