roll call

Who all was up at 2 a.m. thinking it was almost 5 a.m.?  This strawberry, that's who.  I would have called y'all but I realize this might be the ONE night you slept!  I tossed and turned and thought "oh heck, house clean....yes, truly that is what I thought.  I have recently resumed the Flylady system for cleaning and organizing and de-cluttering.  Yesterday I started back and shined my sink.

well, the photo didn't copy well. oh well (how many "wells" can you get in a sentence?)

It really IS shiny and pretty and turquoise-y.  Washed/ dried/ put away towels; changed the sheets AND washed the dirty ones. De-cluttered 27 items--it's some Feng Shui thing... By the way, have you heard of the new book (maybe it's old, but new to me!) called The Life Changing Method of Tidying Up"- The KonMari Method?  It reminds me of the Flylady system but of course it is new and everyone is like Wow!!  Here is a snippet from an article in the Huffington Post:  Kondo's philosophy emphasizes the mental attachment we have to our possessions and her approach is quite simple: declutter first, then store. To declutter a space, she asks her clients to go through every item in their possession and question whether those items "spark joy." If a certain object fails to do so, chuck it.  And I'm thinking  FLYLADY.  So here's the clincher: just do it, Strawberry.  P.S. I didn't buy another clean up book because it is just more clutter!

So what to do at 2 a.m.? What else, clean a bathroom because that is the Flylady "zone" for this week.  Time to sweep and mop...why stop there...sweep and mop down the hall and the entryway.

Doggone it...now I'm hungry.  I'm watching On Demand The Big Bang Theory re-runs and before each episode there is a Bush Beans commercial describing White Bean Chili...oh my beany goodness, it looks so scrumptious! 

Guess what?  It is now 5 a.m. The time I thought it was 3 hours ago.  My my how time flies when you are having fun and washing clothes.  I see a long nap in my afternoon future...unfortunately the dogs will probably be ready to play.

This insomnia is for the dogs birds.

Time to fold clothes.

Have a wonderful Tuesday, Grainiacs.
