10 Minutes A Day

I thought of something today (quit snickering, I've been known to actually think once in a while) and while I'm sure others have come to this same realization, it's new to me, so bare with.

I decided today that I am going to spend 10 minutes a day, Mon thru Fri on cleaning/straitening each room in the house (yes, I know we live in an apartment), which comes to less than an hour overall. (50 minutes to be exact). I figure I can do anything for 10 minutes, even if I don't like it and breaking it up like this will help me to be more productive. (At least that's what I hope will happen!)

*Of course this was decided before finding out later this afternoon that we're having a State inspection a week from tomorrow and an inspector & our property manager have to enter every apartment in the complex, including ours. And dear Lord Mom is going to freak out over this. (Why? I don't know, she just will. Because).

I try to do this too. But somehow I always end up cleaning on Saturdays. Go figure. And good luck on your inspections.

Mom's are good for freaking out about anything.

You know - breaking it up each day is a great idea. If I didn't spend my entire Saturday morning doing all of my cleaning - and did a little every day, I'd probably enjoy the weekend more. But I'm always tired at night, after work, that I don't feel like doing anything. Maybe I can designate something for every night...hmm...wheels a churnin. Great idea!!
Brandie, that's why I'm here, to inspire others, lol!

Lizzi, thanks - the inspections shouldn't be a big deal (except for the kitties - we're officially a pet free community - unofficially, that's another story, lol!)

I always end up taking one day and exhausting myself too but I'm trying not to do that anymore.

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
