Well, here we are on Day 3. Not the most productive day, but fun nonetheless. Today I: got the girls ready for school, put together and delivered a rather complex summer birthday snack, took the girls to school, paid some bills, went to the dentist where I convinced the hygienist not to floss my teeth (it hurts!), worked some more on my finances, had lunch with my husband, went to Starbucks, went to Target, talked to my Mom, took a nap, hung out with Josh and Cameron and got some AWESOME pictures of them trying to sit comfortably in the sprinkler, went grocery shopping for all of our Bakefest needs, dropped off our prescriptions for our quit smoking stuff, put the Waterville wine on Wenatchee' Safeways list (hopefully!), commenced Bakefest with Julie, Baby Maddie, and the girls, BBQ'd with friends, got the girls in bed, got Josh to vacuum, cleaned up the bedroom, living room, and kitchen.
Things left to do: Hopefully Josh will save the video game he borrowed from a friend (brand new hard-to-get game, somehow the XBOX scratched it), possibly write up a meal plan for the next week and grocery list, clean up from the BBQ.
Peace out!

The Things I Do -Day 2
Well today was not quite as productive as yesterday. But, alas, still productive.
Today I: got the girls ready for school, read, worked a lot on organizing our finances, had a great meeting with a colleague, received a very encouraging call from a friend, had some revelations regarding my health and fitness, talked to my Dad, had a great time having coffee with a friend, did the dishes, did a lot of laundry, took a nap, did some calf raises, and I think that is about it! Still plan to: work some more on finances, fold some more laundry, finish the kitchen, make a phone call, and go to bed!
Tomorrow is a new day!

The Things I Do...
Well, as per my previous blogs, I have been sort of lazy. Last night I watched an episode of The King of Queens (my current favorite sitcom) focused on Carrie (on of the main characters and a paralegal for a big law firm) losing her job and her husband, Doug, getting upset at her lack of productivity while unemployed. It struck a nerve:)
So this is my blog post of all the things I accomplished today. If I fail to post one day, feel free to keep me accountable!
Today I: drank my coffee, read my book, set up a lunch appointment, spent way too much time on Facebook, talked to my sister, my mom, Jordie, Julie, Susanne, my brother in law, and my Dad. I straightened out my COBRA, emailed my Creative Memories consultant, did a LOT of laundry, went to my doctor's appointment, set up my dentist appointment, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned out the fridge AND the freezer, contemplated cleaning the microwave but thought better of it, worked out with Jonna, returned movies to Blockbuster, picked up the girls, made dinner for the girls, got my new exercise balls blown up, played Badminton with the girls (if that is what you can call it), saved a baby Quail from Buddy, cancelled an appointment that needed canceling, organized my calendar, downloaded two songs from iTunes, clipped my fingernails, RSVP'd to a wedding, helped my Dad with computer stuff, cleaned the bedroom, got all organized and caught up on my unemployment claim, did a lot of dishes, and spent a fair amount of time reading the newspapers online and on people.com, WHEW!
Still plan to clean out my purse, fold all the laundry while watching John and Kate Plus 8, sort through the mail, start working on my finances, finish up the kitchen, make a phone call, and figure out when Josh is going to Vacuum.

Blogging Laziness 101
Well, I've been much too busy sleeping all day, watching TV, and drinking mochas in the sun to blog much the last month. But my friend Rebecca inspires me to write more, so that I pledge to do. I've got a lot of pix to upload, so for now, since my husband is waiting outside for me to kick his butt in badmiton, I will have to just share what our family is currently doing:
1. Alexis has snuck off to the bedroom to watch yet more TV after downing her favorite, Angel Food Cake.
2. Marilyn is playing under the dining room table with her teaset and I am under strict orders to take care of her "baby" aka her stuffed dog (one of many). She informs me she is going to have lots of babies and I can come over and hang out with them.
3. I am getting ready to rally for badmiton. I took advantage of the day and spent pretty much all day catching up on sleep, watching TV, reading, and eating junk food. Now, I am feeling the pain;)
4. Josh is practicing his badmiton serve, still waiting patiently for me. He has next week off for vacation so he is feeling GOOD.
Later tonight we are supposed to go over to a friend's house and hang out. I can only hope that Marilyn and Alexis will behave long enough for me to enjoy myself.
Peace out...
