What's a Good Girl like Me, doing in a Place like This?

Early this morning, I was up on a ladder cleaning the lights in the kitchen. I thought I'd have a little fun with this picture. :)

Somehow this minor task led to a full day of heavy cleaning. I was up and down the ladder for a couple of hours washing cookie jars and the tops of the cupboards. Then I was on my hands/knees washing floors. Is there no end to a woman's work?

I removed all these cookbooks and gave the shelf a good cleaning. There. Doesn't that look nice and tidy?

I pulled out the desk drawer and just did a quick wipe of one of the cubbies to remove dust.
It always looks this clean because I NEVER use it. Way in the back there is a box of staples with the office store name of the town I lived in 24 years ago. LOL. Guess I don't staple much.


Yesterday I mentioned watching tapes of HGTV. A few days ago Dianne was trying to find a place to put her tapes so I thought I'd show you where I keep some of mine. It requires a bit of thinking outside the box, or should I say "vase".

I have two large vases and I have filled each one with tapes.

I stick an old dish towel over the top to keep the dust out.
Nobody would ever guess those big vases are full of taped episodes from HGTV!


I'm really tired of cooking & cleaning. I didn't get my pink/black double star quilt blocks finished because I spent too much time up on the ladder hunting dust bunnies.

Now I am too pooped to even sew.

I can't wait to fall into my bed with the freshly cleaned sheets so I can get all refreshed to go to work tomorrow.
