Success!

Today is feeling very successful. I cleaned off my desk and threw away over half my whatever box and organized the rest. In terms of time, it really didn't take that long, maybe 30 minutes, I should have timed it. But, the pay off is great.

My daughter is going to her grandparents later this afternoon, to stay till Saturday morning. How wonderful. Tomorrow, I am cleaning her room. I also have a big surprise for her when done cleaning. I have new curtains, spread, etc. I have an idea on rearranging her furniture that I think will work well. Why am doing this while she is gone you might ask? Well, The Wild Child is a bit of a pack rat (hmmm, I wonder where that comes from) and can't stand the idea of parting with anything and she just has soooooo much stuff. I am probably not going to get rid of much - a lot of it I will box up for the attic, some might find new homes. She has so much stuff I doubt she will miss it.

Dinner is grilled chicken kabobs with veggies, rice and salad.

It is sunny but still a wee bit chilly. Even so, I am finishing planting a bunch of seeds this afternoon and have made a makeshift greenhouse box to set the trays of seeds in - some old wood I nailed together and an old window laid over the top. I am not that talented a carpenter to make a hinged top, no, the glass just fits over the top, but I can slid it open a bit or just take it off in the day time - this will keep the seedlings and soil warm till they are ready to transplant. I like to start zinnas and various other annual plants this way - then when I put them in the ground where I want them I know what I have. I hate just planting seed and then thinning.

I bought a hanging copper (?) bird bath at Big Lots a couple weeks ago and it is totally rusted! I should have known as it was cheap. (but some solar lights I bought shaped lock Sun, Moon and Stars are awesome) I am so ticked, I thought of taking it back but decided to sand off the rust and spray it with Rustoleum. I hope to get that finished this afternoon as well.

All the laundry is done, but, I have to put it away which I hate. Seriously, putting away laundry just might be my least favorite chore. I would rather clean the bathroom - although that is easy with the daily routine and all. .

What ever you're doing - have fun doing it!
