Well I can't decide which costume I want for Jack this year....you tell me!

it feels GREAT to be so productive in one day!!!  I didn't get tooo much done but what I did get done made a big difference.  We had a busy day yesterday but it was great to just get something done and not feel pressured.  I even rewarded myself with some guilt free vegging on the couch last night!!!

I got this funny book of sticky notes from the drug store today each one has a funny little saying on it.  They're designed to just kind of post around to give people a chuckle.  The second one says Success is just getting the wash into the dryer before mildew sets in.  ANd you know what...that was kind of my day yesterday...I actually got laundry MOVING and going and kept up with it.  I wash, dry and fold DH puts away.  Now it's on him LOL.

Toodles!

Well I finally did it. I called a professional organizer, 2 actually.  I've set up an appointment for a professional organizer to come to my house this saturday to give me an assessment on our office.

I'm really hoping we'll like each other and get along well and move onto the office and really get that room completed and organized.  I'm nervous b/c it definitely is an investment to hire a professional...but I honestly feel that will help point me in the right direction and get a real handle on things.

The first woman I spoke to was nice and that is who will be coming this Saturday.  I don't think we hit it off too well on the phone but her assessment visit is free so I want to give that shot.  She works by the project so after the assessment she'll work out what she thinks it will take and how much $$.

The second woman I spoke to seemed really nice and easy to talk to and not judgmental at all.  Which immediately put me at ease.  She definitely seemed like a professional.  Of course her fees are hourly and charges for her time to visit and assess the job.

So I have to get back to the second lady next Monday to let her know when she can come out or whether or not she can.  So believingly the first lady will have a figure for me and I can kind of gauge how many hours of the second lady I can get for that same cost so I can compare the cost of the 2 ladies.  But we'll see how things go.  I'm just excited to get the ball moving and see a completion date close.

Who knows if this goes well maybe we'll move onto other areas of the house.  I just feel like if I can get this office in some kind of working order then other areas in the house will kind of start working out.  Right now we're dealing with an overflow of paper work all over the house b/c of our lack of process and procedure for it.

Now you do it!!

Wow that feels great.  I just placed an order for an engraved pen case and they had font options on the website to choose for the text you are engraving.  Script, Arial like font, cursive, etc.  One of the options was Let us Decide....normally I would sit there and think, ponder, try and figure out what would look the best...b/c that is part of what I do (font choice, etc) But what did I do this time??? I let go..and just let the people there decide. 

Man did that feel good!!! I think with that decision I'm headed on a very productive and efficient day.

Cya.

Well nothing much to report here for over the weekend.  Things were very productive we just did chores around the house...played with Jack....worked on my office a bit more and I got a layout done!! that was awesome...i've been slow in my scrapping lately so it was nice to feel like I accomplished something.

Of course I had to watch the finale of Design Star last night!!  and KIM WON!!! Yippie!!! I never ever vote for any reality show but I did this time and for her.  I just thought when we first met her at the beginning of the season that she was a natural on camera a wonderful host well spoken and very comfortable so it was exciting to see her win!!!

I got to bed pretty early each night which was nice and definitely gave me more energy during the day.  I'm trying to get to bed around 9:30 to wind down and be asleep by 10pm. I KNOW I KNOW I'm OLD....but I've decided it is better for my body and my life to get more sleep.

Well it is Monday and I better get working!! I'm hoping for another productive day.

Tootles!!
