What did you accomplish today?

bright_arrow · 04-28-2011, 09:54 PM

While I was browsing care2.com I came across this article and found out about using vinegar to kill weeds, for those that asked:

Kill weeds and crabgrass growing in sidewalks and driveways by pouring vinegar onto them. A half-and-half solution of vinegar and water can even kill garden slugs if it’s sprayed directly onto them.

bright_arrow · 04-29-2011, 08:24 PM

Went to work
Got my time off requests approved
Did quite a few refund/rebills
Stayed 45 mins late to help out
Came home and put the clean dishes away
Washed the ones in the sink
Swept
Mopped
Wiped down the stove and counters
Made up dinner using leftovers
Results: Italian-marinated chicken breast, steamed asparagus, cooked corn and carrots, a few salt potatoes, and a salad of endive lettuce, bell peppers, onions and carrots

Now watching the Elvira movie and debating grapes or a popsicle.. Hmm

T D · 04-29-2011, 08:30 PM

I made scones today for the first time ever. They turned out perfect, and omg they're easy to make. Who knew

Gemme · 04-29-2011, 08:30 PM

As little as possible and with my boss' permission, too!

dixie · 04-29-2011, 09:03 PM

Vacuumed and washed my car. Did some shopping. That's about the extent of my accomplishments for the day.

JustJo · 04-30-2011, 05:48 AM

Yesterday...

made coffee
a zillion emails
several conference calls
caught up on documenting some meetings (always blah)
wolfed down a sandwich
listened in as Scoote organized the plumber....new kitchen faucet is perfect
had a semi-scary serious conversation with a colleague...that needed to happen but was mega uncomfortable to start
mowed the back yard
debating ripping up the short fence
watered some plants
searched online for the cause of my orchid leaf yellowing
cleaned the pool and adjusted chemicals (it needed a little baking soda)
rolled the trash can down to the curb for early morning pickup
ate McDonalds (naughty!) for dinner
fell asleep while my sweetie was watching TV in bed

And today....

Woke up at 4:30 and couldn't get back to sleep
emptied wastebaskets and filled them with soapy hot water to soak
walked last bag of garbage out to the curb
cleaned kitty litter box
made coffee
gave kitties some tuna...it's not Sunday but hey...they like it
now sitting on a chaise lounge by the pool, enjoying the morning quiet

Gemme · 04-30-2011, 10:08 AM

Unloaded the dishwasher, put the items that had accrued by the sink in said dishwasher, did a load of my work clothes and am washing sheets now, paid bills and mentally tabulated budget for the week, nuked leftover pizza and I am in the process of eating said pizza. Oh, I walked down to the office and paid our rent and water.

femmennoir · 04-30-2011, 10:52 AM

Got up and walked the dog (or did she walk me? It was 5:30!) made triple espresso, went back to bed to drink it, made breakfast and enjoyed on the deck (and shared with the canine being), went to Trader Joe's for some staples, put those away, brought the bicycle to the shop to be check-out and fitted with a back rack and some handsome saddlebags (it will take a week, they are swamped), went to the local annual plant sale but they did not have herbs so went instead to the local garden shop and got lemon grass, tarragon, and silver thyme to complete my plantings, got home and planted those plus parsley, cilantro, dill, and Thai basil, washed up, and now thinking about lunch, and the rest of the day (I need to start playing with those wet dreams, but that's another thread!).....

Kätzchen · 04-30-2011, 11:29 AM

woke up to pearly grey skies and a bit of sunshine
submitted 25 work applications online
having some freshly brewed columbian coffee w/cream, cinnamon & honey
spending some time here reading
been listening to various songs this morning
will probably wander a bit today
(go for a drive)

Today, continued...

did a couple loads of laundry
checked and repotted the orchid...think it'll be okay
almost got into a fight with the bitchy friend of our neighbor....long story
weeded a couple hours and piled it on a tarp to drag to the curb (Scoote raked)
went to lunch at Cracker Barrel with my sweetie
shopping at BJs
now relaxing cuz I feel icky

Kobi · 04-30-2011, 11:54 AM

I recaptured my declawed, indoor cat who decided,
for the first time in her 11 years, to slip out the front door.

And.....I will only say this once......if a video of me,
in my skivies, flailing about in a water soaked flower bed
wrestling with the cat finds it way to U tube.....heads will roll!

bright_arrow · 04-30-2011, 01:25 PM

Slept in - oops! - but got to work on time
Had a busy, hectic day but resolved complaints
Succeeded in not beating the loaders for being "too busy" when I needed help
Napped on lunch, though still tired
Went to the bank after work and deposited cash (they were closed!)
Checked bank when I got home
Saw an overdraft fee and called bank's 800# immediately
Was refunded the $34 fee - one allowed every 12 months, lucky me
Made note not to use card until pay day because it's in negative still for 3 days
Made list of bills and due dates
Debating food and thinking of ignoring laundry

I could just take a long nap

Kenna · 04-30-2011, 07:33 PM

Used my phone's internet abilities to find a fridge for my roomie.... (after we were both frustrated from driving to several locations without luck)
then proceeded to annoy him for the rest of the evening.
