Just awoke an hour ago.

JDeere · 11-12-2014, 07:24 PM

Went to the store, washed my new polo shirt, drove around to get things off my mind

Trev · 11-12-2014, 07:42 PM

I accomplished more at work than I aimed to, that's for sure

Did dishes

Cleaned the living room, swept the rugs, cleaned the window sill (hello forgotten tomatoes I put there to ripen ..

Scrubbed the backsplash and counter in the kitchen

Put more stuff up in the cabinets

Unpacked more decorative pretties...they make things more homey!

Swept my room!

Took kitten little and the poodle out for fresh air...where they made friends with some surprise visiting bulls

Did a heap of recycling

Started a purge box

Cashed my check on the way to work

Slaved away at work for 8 hours

Bèsame* · 11-15-2014, 01:04 AM

Just finished baking 5 dozen cookies. Oh yeah, after I came home from work, closing shift! Lol

Entering a cookie contest. Last year I won

White chocolate cherry shortbread cookies. Each cookie was half way dipped in white chocolate after baking and then the edges where rolled in Xmas sprinkles. Wish me luck

Sweet Bliss · 11-15-2014, 01:40 AM

Bought vinyl wallpaper for kitchen and dresser drawers. Only 99 cents at restore. 9 times cheaper than fancy contact paper liner. And ten times more!

Love a bargain!

Soooo. Getting closer to done in kitchen.... hally loo ya.

Found outdoor light for porch.... $7.50 instead of $65 at Home Depot. Needs cleaning and new paint..... no brainer. And let's see..... made dinner for Roomie bbq pork. Etc.

What else.....? Don't remember .... lol.

nekohl · 11-15-2014, 05:49 PM

Raku, saggar and pit firings.
It was cold, I smell like fire, burnt my fingers, singed some hair, and who knows what I inhaled. But it was totally worth it!

cinnamongrrl · 11-15-2014, 06:08 PM

not much...

went to the Laundromat and got my work clothes cleaned for Monday

went grocery shopping

made soup

went to the library for movies...

down day...

cinnamongrrl · 11-18-2014, 11:32 AM

cleaning...

I took my big living room rug outside and beat it....let it sit out in the fresh air to cleanse a bit...

swept and mopped the floor while the rug was up

shook out the tablecloth...

organized the kitchen table better

put away the dehydrator

swept and mopped the bathroom floor

had a nice talk with a friend and co worker who I tend to be very chatty with WHILEST I was doing most of the above...

I HAD wanted to finish up in the kitchen...but now the rest of my house feels more orderly so I can focus on that for tomorrow if time allows, or Thursday before work...

ALSO... applied for a job online and set up an interview for tomorrow yay!

Oh and I WANT to get dishes done before I leave for work.. we shall see...

Sweet Bliss · 11-18-2014, 08:29 PM

My usual housewife duties.... cooking cleaning pets...
Blather blab blab....

Then.... I decided to start making next year's summer outfits. So far have cut out one top and one jumper. I have an apron dress pattern somewhere that I want to do next.

I'm doing some custom details on top. Adding yo yos to the bodice, kind of a peek-a-boo effect. If I have enough I will add some to the hem.

The jumper is going to have contrasting pockets and applique dragonflies. Just something to throw on when going to the beach or doing yard work..

There are lots of scraps left... will make more yoyos and....?

Simplicity patterns were on sale at Joanne's for 99¢ so I got cute vintage top patterns from the 50's and 70's. Kathy, my favorite waitress at Waffle House got all excited when I showed her... she made the same tops back in the 70's!!!!

Must have been popular.

Gaige · 11-22-2014, 05:53 PM

I removed about 75% of the old flooring in the kitchen all the way down to the subfloor. And boy was that a task since the previous owners laid plywood over the original hard tile floor and tiled right on top. Lazy bastards.

Trev · 11-22-2014, 06:19 PM

Another 11.5 hour work day. This is getting old fast.

nekohl · 11-22-2014, 07:07 PM

I raked leaves and cleaned the house. Both of these tasks are not finished and will be revisited tomorrow. Boooo

cricket26 · 11-23-2014, 10:07 AM

finally planted bulbs in my front flower bed, daffodils and tulips, i raked the front yard, got the living room ready for guests next month, went to the grocery, then movie nite

That would be huge for me too!
Good job!

11-23-2014, 12:26 PM

Woke up after lunchtime! Result!

Phoned the UK dude I needed to phone about the bullying behaviour I've been subjected to over the last weeks on a (US based) recovery site whilst attending women's meetings. Part of their problem is that they (the women of the groups) think I should have one of the binary gender options on my profile; I don't have a gender ticked because there isn't an option for 'other' folks. They see my picture, a lovely one too I might add

, and seem to automatically assume that I'm a cis-male. Although last time I was asked if I was MtF

It's all an intolerant brouhaha. A bunch of ignorant women will not drive me away from something which ultimately enhances my recovery.

The lovely man I spoke with was as accepting and sympathetic as I have encountered with a cis-male. After we'd talked and he knew the people he needed to 'have a talk with' he asked, "what would you like in the gender options, other or gender-neutral". Good man! Gender neutral is ace but other will do thankyouverymuch.

Watch this space! [so to speak]
