I was hoping to have clean the dining room over the weekend so I could share a before and after at the beginning of this week, but things were much busier than I expected! Glen and I went out to dinner Friday night with some friends, followed by bowling, and Saturday I went to Ikea to pick up some more SLOM jars, which are amazing for storing food. Keeping rice, lentils, barley, etc. in plastic bags secured with rubber bands was just not cutting it, organization-wise.
I felt like I was starting to get a bit of a cold on Sunday, so I spent the afternoon napping (and woke up feeling even worse!), but I still managed to go to Glen's show that night. Yesterday I worked 12 hours, because I got called in for an extra evening shift at the library. Needless to say, by the time I got home, this was pretty much all I was feeling up to:
Elvis is an excellent snuggler. :-)
Goals for this week include:
- Clean/photograph the dining room.
- Do inventory!! This is the longest I've waited to do it, and I can't file my taxes until it's done.
- File said taxes.
- Put up the window film on the laundry room door, so I can at least feel like I've made some progress on my laundry room remodel.
Hopefully putting this goals in writing will motivate me to accomplish them!
I do the rubber band trick too which backfired over the weekend when said rubber band decided to loosen up and dump rice all over my kitchen floor. I really hate that rubber band.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a super busy weekend and I totally need to get a few of those jars. Great tip, thanks! Also, Elvis is sooo cute. That photo melts my heart. Muah
