I Guess January is Good For Something
Well, I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself right now. I actually got some things accomplished today! Why is it that January always makes me want to re-organize things like closets & cupboards? Do you feel that way too or I am just a little weird? I think it's a good thing because if I didn't feel this way I'd be sitting on the couch eating Kettle Cooked Salt & Vinegar Chips all day long! I'm itching to paint the inside of our pantry-green, of course, to match the accent wall in the kitchen. That way I'll have to take everything out of the pantry, forcing me to pitch a lot of the stuff that got pushed to the back & is expired. I found small, orange, wire baskets at IKEA (they are supposed to be pencils cans for the desk) on sale 2 for .99! I bought 6 of them & thought they'd be great for holding things like tea, Real Lemon/Lime, & those individual packets of Propel & Crystal Light. I wish I would've bought a few more. I may have to make a quick stop at IKEA when I take Boy #2 back to Cincinnati on Monday! Anyway I keep picturing my pantry all painted & organized & it gives me a small thrill. Simple things for simple minds, right? I think the pantry may have to wait until next weekend, because I promised myself I'd spend the day after church tomorrow catching up on paperwork-ugh! I'll be sure to take pictures of finished pantry project. Maybe I should do before/after photos, but that might be a little embarrassing! Do you have any good suggestions for organizing cupboards & closets? I'll be close to The Container Store on Monday too! This could be dangerous-The Container Store & IKEA in 1 day!!!!
Feel like I'm just
rambling tonight, so please bear with me! Had a fun time outside with Hope today. When she came inside she had little, frozen snow balls hanging off the hair on her legs. Filled all the bird feeders so all my feathered friends ar
e happy now. I love watching the birds-reminds me so much of my Grandma G. Going to get the sewing machine out tonight & make a few more pillow covers for the family room-another nod to my Grandma G. I think I become more & more like her the older I get, & I'm OK with that. My Grandma was a really wonderful woman-I wish she were still living. There are so many things I'd like to ask her, but I wasn't smart enough to think of them when I was younger. I am so thankful that I got to grow up with all 4 of my grandparents living in my hometown. That is almost unheard of anymore. Wonder where my grandkids (of the very faaaaar away future) will live & how much a part of their lives we'll be able to be?
Better get that machine out or I'll lose my motivation. Thanks for putting up with my ramblings! Oh, several of you have said that you tried to leave a comment, but were unable to. I think/hope I have fixed that problem, so please try to leave a comment again.
