Organizing 101/Jan- Family Room

[BernardandMissBianca]

I got my table cleaned and rotated back to it's original position! And DH gathered all of the DVD's that we got at Xmas. Tomorrow I need to add them to the cases.

List of things for tomorrow:
grocery store
bank
tree
DVD's
dishes

All that after the kids go to school. Thank goodness they all have a long day tomorrow.

I don't think the bank will be open. It is a Federal Holiday for the funeral of President Ford.

But my list is:
sign up for MK Swap
grocery store after going to Hobby Lobby
move couch to vacuum
wash and iron curtains
take down last tree and put it in box
take boxes to barn

I worked on my scrap/craft room all day, I can see floor, and have a ton of paper for the recycle...mostly things that seemed like saving at the time...print...and pile...some recipes were saved, and all bead patterns, but the rest is junk...sigh...
SOOOO, another goal, saving on puter, not on paper for 2007...

List for tomorrow:
Bank
JC Penny for a return
Borders
Office Max

I got a few small things done tonight. I cleaned, reorganized and weeded out our video nook. (DVDs are housed elsewhere - they will be another project.) I did the same for one bookcase.

I also started my list for Thursday (my next day off). It includes: post office to return a package, gathering up and returning all the used printer and fax printer cartridges I bring home from work to recycle and going to Target to buy a couple trunks to house books and videos from my childhood that I can't part with yet but don't need to be on display. I also plan to wash the curtains, go grocery shopping and take my crockpot out of the box and maybe use it. I got it for Christmas, you see... In 2003!!! It never made it out of the box, but a friend gave me a crockpot cookbook for Christmas year and told me now I have no excuse.

I assembled my second scrap paper storage rack tonight. This one went together easier because I didn't follow the directions! My next step(hopefully, tomorrow night) is to organize my cardstock by color and the patterned paper by theme, and actually put the paper on the shelves of the racks. They will be going in the basement so it doesn't take up so much room elsewhere.

Now that I'm in an assembly mood, I might put the shelves in my media storage cabinet tonight or tomorrow night. I'll be organizing my DVD's and CD's, etc by themes......Disney, drama, comedy....so that they can be watched based on the mood of the moment!

 

[PoohBearLovinMama]

Well I got all of my Christmas stuff put away and my living room back together. Doesn't seem like a whole lot, but it did take a while.
My goals for tomorrow:
1. go to the gym first thing
2. grocery shopping
3. take Brooklynn to school
4. if Molly is up to it, run to office max, michaels and bed bath and beyond (for new curtains) while Brooklynn is in school. If not, that will have to wait until Wed.
5. get the dirty laundry out of the living room and into the laundry room.
6. Get clean laundry out of the living room and into the dressers.

Thanks for the reminder DS10 has a dentist appt at 3:30. Of course now I have to figure out how to pay for it. They have opted to not accept our insurance anymore.


I scraped today too!!!!

Ergh! I'll be mad if the Bank isn't open tomorrow. I need to deposit some xmas checks to make a payment on our trip to WDW.

 

[lewdyan1]

Not sure, but I think by law the banks must be open tomorrow. The law says a bank can't be closed more than three days in a row, so if I was you, I would try stopping by.

Okay as far as cleaning my living room this motn, it just got easier. DH and I bought new living room furniture yesterday, so I need to empty the wall unit of everything and the room needs to be ready by the 1/25 delivery, so I still have the whole month, but I know it will be clean before February's challenge!

Mu goals for today:
1. Walk on elptical machine for at least 10 minutes before signing up for swap(I need a reason to do it).
2. Get all the stuff I weeded of our family room bookcase to where it belongs.
3. Clean fans in family room.
4. Sign-up for swap
5. Get things for recipe swap printed and cut.
6. Get at least 5 more pages ready for pictures in my birthday book.

Still need to move boxes to the barn and grocery shopping will have to wait until one boy goes back to school. Just couldn't do it with the two of them.

I did get some title pages done for our Christmas Album too! I did about 6 of them.. I'm still working on 1 of them...but I'm not happy w/ the stencil zero so I'm going to use the "O"!!

 

[rlovew]

My goals for today:
1. Walk on elptical machine for at least 10 minutes before signing up for swap(I need a reason to do it).- done, although only 5 minutes before swap signups its been awhile and I can't do 10 minutes at 1 times- I will work my way back up
2. Get all the stuff I weeded of our family room bookcase to where it belongs. done
3. Clean fans in family room.done
4. Sign-up for swapdone
5. Get things for recipe swap printed and cut. got my papers all choosen out and I am starting to print the recipes out now.
6. Get at least 5 more pages ready for pictures in my birthday book.hopefully I will do this tonight but with DH leaving in the morning it is looking doubtful.


If I hadn't decided to drive into Fort Myers for lunch with DH and to stop by the craft stores in town and look for swap materials then I probably could have actually got some swapping done.

Tomorrow's goals:
1. Go through bags and baskets in the family room and sort out things. POut them all away.
2. Get some scraping done on my birthday album.
3. Vacum blinds and couch.

While I head back to work tomorrow DH heads out of town so hopefully it will be easy enough to get things done in the evening.

I succeeded with my goals today too

1. I did my Walk away the Pounds 1 mile tape
2. Only signed up for one swap
3. Shredded documents for 2002. This one was the hardest, because the shredder jammed up, I had to take it apart, clean it out, and put it back together. It's amazing how much one year's worth of paperwork turns out to be shredded. Too bad I still have 2001-1993 still to do. Then I have to clean out the desk of the last couple of years, and shred what needs to be shredded. That's my goal for all of January.

Rebecca, I didn't realize you were near Ft. Myers.. My DH's grandparents are in N. Ft. Myers.. WE love it down there!!!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I think they booked it for 1:30 but then they called before the winter break to confirm and I'm pretty sure she said 3:30.

Oh well!
