Cleaning Game Update, Market Bag On The Way!

The mess that Miles made is cleared away and cleaned!! I detangled only the good yarn and just threw away the rest. I know, I know--it seems a waste to throw away this yarn, but they were scrap balls of cotton yarn. They could have been used for something, but I would have been all night detangling them, and I just don't have the time or the energy!!

I did not reorganize my yarn or my closet--that will just have to wait for another day!!

So, Tornado Tuesday is completed, and another $1 to my jar!!

If you'd like to join in on the Cleaning Game, just click on the picture on my sidebar, and it will take you directly to Grammy's where you can read the rules and receive each day's challenge.

And, I LOVE this day's challenge:

Today, the task will be to pamper your self.
It can be as easy as Jump in the tub and relax.
Put your feet up and relax.

Hmmmm.....I'm going to have to try to remember how to do this!! Maybe Grammy really does know me!! Maybe she knows I need to relax a little more than I have been doing!!

Just so you don't think that I've forgotten my Christmas projects in the midst of The Cleaning Game, here is a picture of Lindsay's market bag so far:


This is about 1/4 of the way completed. It goes along pretty fast, so I'm hoping to have this finished and move on to my next Cara project soon. What shall I tackle next?

Off to update my "Love Dare".

K--that's all for a while!!

The Cleaning Game--Tornado Tuesday

Oh, I was thinking I was a day behind again!! But, I'm not--this is the task that Grammy has posted last night to be completed by this evening.

Today's task is to organize 1 thing.

You can organize your yarn
organize 1 cabinet or drawer
Just pick 1 easy thing to do.

It is up to you what needs to get
organized for your self.

What?? Organize your yarn, organize a cabinet or a drawer? I wonder it that includes that closet I mentioned yesterday?

Hmmm...seems pretty odd, doesn't it? That Grammy would mention yarn, a cabinet or a drawer when I just posted pictures of all the mess that Miles has made. But, no the timing is wrong. She just must know more about my life than I think!!

If you want to learn more about The Cleaning Game, you can just click on the picture in my sidebar, and you'll be directed to Grammy's site!

Progress is being made on Lindsay's market bag!! I don't have pictures yet. I'll wait until a little more is completed so you can see how pretty it is going to be. I'm pleased with my progress so far.

And PLEASE, remind me in January, 2009 to start for Christmas of 2009 so that I am not being overwhelmed like this again!!

I'll be back later to let you know about the completion of my task. I don't know--I'm looking at this closet right now--it looks a little bit too much to accomplish in one evening. So, maybe just the yarn--which is still on the floor!!

K--that's all for a while!!

The Cleaning Game--Update!!

My original post was at 4:30 this morning. I am home from work now, have cleaned out my purse, and I paid myself $1. So, I'm off to a good start.

But, this what I really should have done instead:

This is Miles, my kitty. Don't you think he looks just so innocent lying there on the floor?

WELL, HE IS NOT!! HE HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!

This is what I encountered in my dining room this morning!!

And into the kitchen to make my coffee!! See how he has the yarn wrapped around his water dish and into the box that he took out of the trash can??

I just don't know what to do with him!! I think the solution is this:

Hopefully, one of the tasks will be to clean out your closet. Then, I'm going to put my boxes of yarn on the top shelf where (hopefully) he cannot reach them.

This mess was from one of two boxes that contain yarn, and believe it or not, I have a stack of book on top of them just so he can't get into them!! How he ever managed this, I just don't know. How I slept through all of this, I just don't know that either!!

Off to post my latest Love Dare! Stop by and visit!! Come to think of it, Miles is quite a challenge to love sometimes, too. He's lucky I love him so much!!

K--that's all for a while!!

The Cleaning Game

I have a problem!!! With all the Christmas projects lined up and in the works, my housework is being neglected!! Not that it won't wait for me to get to it, but I just don't like the idea of being overwhelmed with this after the Christmas list is completed.

I went to visit Grammy the other day, and she has started "The Cleaning Game"!! I read over this and it sounds just right for me--one task a day, and on top of everything else, you pay yourself for doing this task!! One task and a reward--$30 at the end of the month to spend on myself!! (Oh, please, don't let me buy more yarn!!)

So, I decided to join in on this--follow along and see how I do. And if you are being overwhelmed with your household chores (as I am at this moment!), you might want to stop by and visit Grammy and join in the fun!!

Here's my task for Monday (and I have until 7 p.m. central time tonight--5 p.m. my time tonight--I think!) to complete it: And then my next task will be assigned!! I love it--one task a day and pay for myself, too!!

The task will be to de-clutter at least 1 thing.

It can be as easy as clean out your purse
or as hard as organize a room

It is up to you what you want to do.

Well, my purse is pretty much a mess right now--so I think I will choose that. Be back later today to let you know how this went. And if I do this, $1 to my Task Jar!!

K--that's all for a while!!
