Life on Thursday

Today started early, with a trip to get my yearly Mammogram! It was quick painless and done for another year! Then off to get G's Boy Scout things. WOW! the BSA has a monopoly on that stuff and it's pricey! I stopped by Chipotle to get lunch for our Moved Get it Done day. As I pulled into my parking place noticed a table of police officers, as I was getting out I noticed a couple other police office eating at another table. I walked in and had the door opened by a couple of Highway Patrolmen. I knew I was safe! As I was pulling out of the parking lot there was another Highway Patrol car with 4 Patrolmen in it! WOW the safest place around at 11:30 on a Thursday is Chipotle's OR you could take this as a time that you could run amuck around town, since they're all at Chipotle's!?! I had an odd little bout of a bug on Tuesday so our Get it done day was moved to today. We worked at Stephanie's house. She has company coming and we worked on getting her bedrooms ready. After a quick trip to the grocery store I came home. Took a nap, I don't ever really have allergies symptoms but I get sinus headaches and tired when everyone else is sneezey and drippy so it really must be allergies. It was pork chop sandwiches for supper. I really like Pork Tenderloins and this is my low fat substitute! Pork Chops pounded into tenderness and grilled on George! Slap'em on a bun with mustard and pickles ~ Yummy!

Git'r done Tuesday

Today was a Bonus Git 'r done day!

(Since it was a 5th Tuesday)

We got fitted for

BRAS!

I know you've all seen the Oprah shows where

she gives woman BRA make overs.

Well a couple of years ago I saw one of those shows

and decided that I'd "do it after the first of the year"

well.....I never got around to it......until

TODAY!

In days leading up to today, I was second guessing myself.

How could I be another size?

What could they tell me that I didn't already know?

You know that sort of thing.

I needed this fitting

I was not wearing the right size BRA!

I'd recommend it to everyone!

so GO

Don't be shy ~ these ladies were 'fitting'

alot of women while they were fitting us.

It's their job, they've seen it all before!

We went to Nordstrom's

they had a lot of styles in our sizes to pick from.

We stopped by Victoria's Secret just to see what they had

and they didn't carry our sizes!?!?

Wednesday ~ Git 'r done

Today we were without Caroline. So it was a Git it done day.

I had a lot of appointments to make. My insurance is just about to change. YES I've already made my deductible (with my shoulder) BUT due to the high cost of health insurance I need to change my policy.... New policy New deductible! I wanted to get all the appointments I could before my new policy takes effective!

Moved my rugs outside to shake. That was a great idea UNTIL the wind turned chilly.

I gave G the job to clean the bathroom floor. He did a great job! He's a great worker. He used a technique that I didn't plan on BUT it got the job done just the same!

Git 'r Done Tuesday

Today was

Git 'r Done Tuesday

at my house!

WOW! I loved it!

On any Tuesday I start early with a list and just start marking things off. Today's mode was a if I open a draw I look to see if there is something I can do to make it better.

Can I throw it away? Can I donate something?

Today, I was mostly in the Kitchen this morning.

I loaded the dishwasher, did a quick look through the refrigerator, tossing old things, quickly wiping down the shelves. Swept the floor, wiped down all the counters. Then I moved over to the china cabinet for a quick couple of minutes. I worked on the drawers, ALOT got tossed there!

I love to toss things!

Around noon Stephanie brought a yummy lunch from Molly's Table.

Vegetarian lasagna (with chicken???), a roll and a salad.

Then we got to work.

First upstairs. I had Stephanie work on packing up quilts, and baby clothes. I had purchased tubs months ago so it all had a place, I just needed her to put things in them! I worked on a shelf in the room. There was a ton tossed! and a ton donated! I loved working up there!

Then we came down to the kitchen again. Stephanie and I wiped down my cabinet doors. She's tall so she got the top ones and I got the lower ones.

The last thing ... I set Stephanie up on Facebook.

Even W and G got in on the Git 'r Done mode.

While we were upstairs W replaced a light for me and G (& I) carried all the toss/donate items down from up stairs.

Then G did it!

he swept out the garage without being asked!?

Miracles do happen!

RED FLAG

Just as I was rushing out the door, the phone was ringing. I didn't have time to answer it but I was drawn to it. I did answer it and it was a (major) business trying to confirm an online purchase by Hubby. Hummmm?? While I had them on the phone I got hubby on my cell phone. Someone was trying to use Hubby's credit card. The amount was not a large amount (under $200) but some thing about the transaction had sent up red flags and they were calling to confirm. Hubby and I both confirmed that it was not us attempting the transaction and the the transaction was denied. I'm so glad I was drawn to answer THAT phone call!

PEO Meeting ~
I finally made it to my PEO meeting, LATE. I'm not a Late person (but I guess I'm glad I was today). I made a point to meet someone new in the group today. The theme was "Games we use to play". These ladies are all older than me, WAY older than me. They'd all played the games that I'd play, but still it was fun! Then the best part, they are great cooks.... we had coconut cream pie for refreshments!

Git 'r Done Tuesday

Today is the first of what I hope are many "Git 'r Done" days.

My friend, Stephanie have set aside every other Tuesday afternoon as a day to get those things done that done ever seem to get done!

Today we were at her house and she got to pick what we work on. She choose that we work on her family history. Help get things lined out. I was to teach her how to check things out and set her on her way! It's little bites for her, so we worked together and I gave her a small assignment!

BUT before I left for her house, I'd made a list last night AND I needed to get that list done this morning! I think that entire list had something to do with PAPER! and as I went through the pile of PAPER, I found other things that could be easily taken care of! Can I just say online banking and online bill pay are GREAT things!

I loved the feeling as I left home .... with my pile of mail to be mailed, paper sorted, and my recycling to be recycled. It felt SOOOoooo good to get things done and then go help some one else get things done!
