What have you been up to lately? As the Holiday's approach it's time to wrap up some projects and check some items off my to do list.
Since I last posted I've:
*Cleaned the burners on my stove
*Addressed and mailed my Christmas cards
*Saw Breaking Dawn in the theater wOOt wOOt
*Set up my bill binder for next year
*Scheduled an oil change for this week
*Determined that at this time there is nothing I can sell on craigslist
*Maintained my clean house
*Shopped sales at the grocery store so I won't have to buy anything but perishables for a long time
To do yet:
*Deep clean the carpets especially in the living room
*Back-up the digital photo's to my external hard drive
*Put the cover on the sandbox
*Find pics to put in some of the cute picture frames I got at Kohl's
*File my taxes (BAD Chibiko!!)
*Apply for a job should the right type of job come along...not in any hurry here 'cause it's a pain in the butt to find daycare that will transport DD3 to preschool, but it's definitely on the back burner

It's Dead
My beloved vacuum died. It went out in a blaze of glory with sparks, smoke and everything. I said a few choice words as I dumped the thing into the dumpster.
Now, here comes the fun part...which new vacuum do I get to replace it... I like bagless uprights. My dream vacuum is a Dyson, but that ain't gonna happen. So, what vacuum do you use? I vacuum about every other day. Do you use it that frequently? In the mean time I'm borrowing a vacuum from my Mom until I can get a new one. Since time isn't an issue I have time to save up a bit for a new one. Any advice on the vacuum front or really any other front is welcome.
On a side note I don't think I've ever typed the word vacuum so many times at one sit down before. :)

Still Going Strong
Today I:
*Eliminated 31 shirts from my side of the closet
*Handed out my kiddo's school pics
*Got caught up on laundry
I also ran a bunch of errands that took up most of my morning. DD3 is sick so I took her to the Doctors this afternoon. Turns out she has the croup and her 2nd ever ear infection. Poor little chickadee.
Let's see how I'm fairing on the to do list.
To do yet:
*Deep clean the carpets especially in the living room
*Back-up the digital photo's to my external hard drive
*Find more stuff to list on craigslist
*Put the cover on the sandbox
*Christmas cards (It's never to early to address those suckers)
*Get my oil changed (I have like 500 miles till it's due)
*Get my next years bill binder set up and ready for action
*Find pics to put in some of the cute picture frames I got at Kohl's
*File my taxes (BAD Chibiko!!)
*See Breaking Dawn in the theater...living the high life there :)
*Apply for a job should the right type of job come along...not in any hurry here 'cause it's a pain in the butt to find daycare that will transport DD3 to preschool, but it's definitely on the back burner
*Stop making insanely long to do lists and take time to enjoy life
Not bad, but there's still a lot of work to do. How are your projects coming along? I'd love to hear about them.

We all work hard on our blogs and we all love readers. It's hard to get a blog going and get a steady base of readers. So, I thought that we could follow each other. :) Follow me and I'll follow you back. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
I can't wait to see what you've been working on!

Keeping up the Momentum
Today I'm keeping up the momentum from yesterday. I'm going to list here all the things I've done today and keep updating the list until it's time for bed. Here we go! Today I:
*Scrubbed the trashcan in the kitchen
*Went through DS5's clothes and eliminated the ones that don't fit right, I just don't like or are out of season.
*Organized theDS5's backstock clothes according to size so we'll be ready when he grows
*Organized the DVDs according to adult/kid and then put series together. We had double of some DVDs. Who knew?
*Clean out the inboxes on both of my email accounts
The day is still young. We'll have to see what else I can add to the list.
*Sold the stroller listed on craigslist. Cash in my pocket. Cha-ching!
*Went through the books in the kid's library and eliminated the books they no longer read
*Washed all the filters on the vacuum
*Sorted through the toys and eliminated the toys that are no longer played with. I also put some toys up for later this winter

Getting Ready for Winter
I have been a busy bee today getting ready for winter. The weather's supposed to turn tomorrow so I wanted to get as much done today as I could. Sooo today I:
*Washed the windows inside and out
*Vacuumed the entire house including under the moveable furniture i.e. the couch
*Got a flu shot for me and the flu mist for my kiddo's
*Took out all the trash I could possibly find
*Swept the patio and took in all the outside toys
*Cleaned out the van (still need to vacuum that thing in a bad way...)
*Gassed up the vehicles
*Filed all the paperwork for October that still needed filing
*Ran the books and plates up to the neighbor where they belong
*Went grocery shopping stocking up on staples and water. Don't want to haul that crap in the snow.
*Refilled my medication
*Put the pillow cases on the new pillows and chucked the old pillows
*Put away all the crap that seemed to migrate it's way into my big closet
*Walk to school to pick up DS5 and play at the playground
*Put away the fishing gear
*Listed a stroller on craigslist
*Sorted and filed all the photo's I've been meaning to sort and file
*Got everything written down in next years calendar that I am aware of
*Wiped down the bathroom
*Dusted the living room
*Emptied and reloaded the dishwasher
*Hand washed all the knives that are hand wash only and wiped out the kitchen sink
*Put away in clear shoe boxes all sandels
*Put away all the light jackets and brought out the winter coats
*Threw away the show organizer that the kids broke
*Sorted the laundry for tomorrow
That's it so far, but the night is still young. :) We'll have to see what else I can find to do before the bad weather hits. Nothing like being prepared in a well stocked, clean and organized house.
To do yet:
*Deep clean the carpets especially in the living room
*Sort through the hand-me-downs DS got from my cousin and put away the clothes that will fit this winter
*Sort through the toys and eliminate the toys that are not being played with...either donate or put away for later when the snow really hits and the "I'm bored" comes out. Wala new toys.
*Back-up the digital photo's to my external hard drive
*Clean out my emails in boxes
*Find more stuff to list on craigslist
*Put the cover on the sandbox
*Christmas cards (It's never to early to address those suckers)
*Give out the kid's school pics
*Re-evaluate the kid's bookshelf...it's just not working...they can't seem to put the books away themselves
*Get my oil changed (I have like 500 miles till it's due)
*Get my next years bill binder set up and ready for action
*Find pics to put in some of the cute picture frames I got at Kohl's
*File my taxes (BAD Chibiko!!)
*I will keep up on laundry (the bane of my existence)
