Still putting off bringing cleanliness and sense to the garage.

I only have a small section of my basement left. THEN, on to the upstairs... sigh... I cleaned my bathroom top to bottom, and my bedroom is fairly cleaned out now, including sorting through clothing.

Hmmmmmmm. I finally cleaned picture frames & actually hung a couple on the walls. (We moved into our fixer upper house in November 2008.) I wood glued & screwed the back of the silverware drawer. (Again, fixer upper...) I sorted by room & then stored our Christmas decorations. I also got rid of decorations that haven't been used for 2 or more years. & I finally sorted all of my scrapbook supplies & got them put into containers. Yippeeee! I made a resolution to not sit down until 8 pm every weeknight, so I am actually accomplishing things! Well. Hmmmmmmm. I finally cleaned picture frames & actually hung a couple on the walls.

Those things are like black holes, I tell ya. Well…I’ve still been putting it off, but this has been very inspiring to get me to finally clean my walk-in closet!

It's something I've always wanted to learn. Corn tortillas are cheap and easy to make, and better for you than flour tortillas. Yummier, too! A tortilla press helps the process quite nicely. I also fixed my sewing machine issues, and am slowly working through making and fixing things. I'm no expert seamstress. But I love sewing, and have been wanting to work on improving those skills. It makes me feel good to fix or make something, even if I'm not yet as good as you Ren Fest costume-making folks. :-) As far as what I have accomplished, I just tried making corn tortillas from scratch (with “masa harina” — corn flour, Maseca brand — no corn grinding and lime adding for me).

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:52:51 +0000 http://www.thecheapchick.com/?p=2227#comment-5831 Not sure I've really accomplished (as in finished) anything yet. BUT, I called our local women's shelter to do a pickup on the 19th and I actually used my day off on the 18th to pull together some things for them to pick up. I always have good intentions but unless I call and actually schedule something, I'll keep putting it off. And, I also started the 'keeping track of cash expenditures' thing so I'll know where that wad of cash I get from the ATM actually goes. Nothing like seeing it in black and white to make you re-access your spending habits! I'm still working on the 'clean out every closet and drawer' thingy but that will take a while longer.
