Side Yard
Front Yard
2. Dig up the daffodils that are in what used to be a flower bed and move them to a spot that makes more sense for us.
From here
and here
to here
3. I also need to dig up those rocks that are in our front yard and do...something with them. They don't belong there anymore.
4. Finish power washing our multiple walkways.
I washed all the moss off them last weekend and you can totally see where I sprayed. Tacky.
5. The ubiquitous laundry situation.
My hamper always seems to look like this.
6. Organize my craft area.
I don't even know where to begin.
11. Give sweet Bosley a bath.
7. I need to dye my roots.
I can see the stink lines swirling off his head.

Shockingly, I'm not a natural platinum blonde. Oh my!
You can also see the stink lines coming off my head. Though, I think I should do the yard work before I bathe myself...but am I really going to do yardwork? Eh. It's possible. I better just stay stinky all day in case I decide to do something. Good plan.
I got tired of taking pictures, but I also need to:
8. Finish spray painting some brackets for a shelf we're going to hang under a kitchen window. The shelf is for the cats as all are window sills are so narrow they aren't able to enjoy the sunshine like they used to in our apartment.
9. Sweep and vaccum. Much like laundry, this is always on my list of things to do.
10. The bathroom smells like an old folks home, so I'm thinking I need to clean it.
Can I do all this in one day? Probably, if I start now and don't stop until night time. But we have guests coming over for dinner so I should probably focus on the inside stuff. Plus, I have no supplies for the turf builder project and I kind of feel like I should make Brad do that anyway. I get stuck with all the inside chores so he should have to do all the outside chores. Now, just to clarify, when I say "I get stuck with" I mean that I don't think Brad does a good enough job, so I have made myself in charge of them. It's a blessing and a curse to be such a thorough cleaner.
I love being a homeowner, I really really do. But wow oh wow. I definitely understand why my dad was so grouchy on the weekends in the spring. There's so much and it never ends. I have no idea how he did it all and had 3 kids to deal with.
Now, enough blogging! The time for action is upon us!

I feel you. Add in a dose of hay fever and there is even less motivation to get anything done (inside or out).
ReplyDeleteBlurg.
For some reason I can't place where your craft area is.... Does it occupy its own room or?
It's in the bedroom to the left of the bed. There's a lot going on in there. Probably not very good chi. Good thing chi is a load of BS. Ha!
ReplyDeleteYou look like you've lived there for a long time, so very homey. Isn't it fun having so much to do?
ReplyDeleteWell, when Brad gets the garage converted into an office, then you (and your crafts) can take over the 2nd bedroom!
ReplyDeletei feel the same about home ownership now that i'm in it. last weekend, i went around the yard collecting all the fallen/broken branches from my massive pine tree - filled the entire yard debris can! tomorrow, my bro-in-law is bringing his lawn mower by (since i have yet to figure out what i want to buy!) and the grass has been growing like crazy the last few weeks. ack! my yard is HUGE and kind of on a slope. (yuck)
ReplyDeletetoday, i spent the entire afternoon cleaning out the craft room and i'm not even done! so tomorrow's agenda is more craft room, lawn mowing, and of course sunday laundry day. ugh.
