a long list day
about which you may or may not care to hear. ; )
A long-time mural client asked me to girlie up this sweet little table and chairs. Of course N wanted to test its tea party compatibility. Her verdict? It's good. Real good.
I've got the Fall cleaning bug. We cleaned out the garage Saturday. My car fits in there again! I cleaned out the pantries yesterday only to discover a lot of my rice and pasta was infested with tiny little black bugs. Ick. So now I need to go to the grocery store too.
The station wagon is full of Goodwill items, which means a quick stop inside that store as well. BUT the financial guy was here yesterday which always prompts me to tighten things up the purse strings even more, so I must be careful. Yes. VERY careful.
The bathrooms are gross. They need a good cleaning. And what to make for dinner- always problematic. Although yesterday I made a big batch of biscuits and gravy and cut up some fruit. Now that was a nice, easy comfort meal.
Good thing that pesky cold and lethargy is gone. My to do list keeps growing and growing!

That table you painted is so sweet!
I need some of your cleaning energy... I would love to be able to fit our van back into the garage!

we have that same teapot/cups set. Sweet.
Hooray for cleaned out garages! I mean it. They make you feel good.
Good lucky with dinner. Always a question here.

So your financial guy comes to your house? We don't have a financial guy. We need a financial guy. I'm worried.

Yea for fall cleaning! My car when it crashed was full of goodwill stuff - now my mom's van is. And the recycling needs to go. That's the next van load. Yes, tighten those strings with the way the country is going (downhill) - I think I may need to re-read Aidin's Kit American Girl books for some tips on surviving the depression.

Hi! Lovely blog. I also get a Fall cleaning bug. It's so nice to have the house all cozy for the shorter days and colder weather.

We cleaned out the garage over the weekend and happily have both cars in there now. Such a great feeling isn't it?

Alicia, the table is so cute! Let me chime in and say I hate having to budget our money but always proud we when actually do it. And Fall cleaning happens much more than Spring cleaning around here. I actually read somewhere its better. xo

I am all about the fall cleaning. I mean, who want to do spring cleaning? That makes no sense. I want to run outside in the spring. So clean away...although I've seen your house...so I'm with H..."watchu talkin bout?"
