Clearly

Last semester was a BEAR, and then the new semester started in January. And as soon as I had my balance, the credit term started, and I do have to re-organize those lessons. But, in two weeks, the projects begin!

1. Project House: Foyer organized, all boxes finished, file cabinet set up
2. Project Weed: Clothing/fabric sifted and sorted, cut the cord on the old vacuum, the toy situation
3. Project Storage: What goes downstairs, what goes into the closets (re-organize, too)
4. Project Closet: Assess and reorganize closets
5. Project Porch: Re-upholster outside chairs, find a third chair, concrete screws
6. Project Dry Storage: Re-organize dry storage
7. Project Money: Uninvest in current Mutual Funds Company (no green funds, wants to put most of my money into companies whose practices or products I find reprehensible, and still uses the term "foreign" when they should use "international") and reinvest in a Mutual Fund Company more in line with my beliefs and concerns.
8. Project Toy: At least half of these toys need to be out of the house by the end of June. With or without approval.

School Starts for Everyone!

And does Facebook render personal blogs obsolete? Especially when they are supplemented by Zenfolio and Flickr?

Mayonnaise is first, on Tuesday. Like the first day won't be jarring enough. I'll buy some canola and practice.

Bang! Bang! Bang! 2012!

Yes, Christmas Eve was here, and there is the pork in my freezer to prove it. No, I am not working in Mamaroneck anymore. Yes, the gauntlet of Kindergarten has started. Go!

The Weekend Before December, 2011

To Eve or not to Eve...that is now the question. Can I clean my house in time? Will the boxes be gone (there is no where to shove them)? There is a lot of coordination, do I want to embark? Oh well, I should watch 30 Rock and read...I do have a huge pile of books...and then if I read, I wouldn't have to think about it!

Back at Work

Working at the Mamaroneck Public Library as given me access again to so many books, it is difficult for me to leave with a pile less than 4 books high. I read two graphic novels and one big book just this weekend! Cecil Castellucci's PLAIN Janes series is fun, and Before I Fall was slow to start but really excellent! And I am still thinking about Lian Hearn's Otori series, and the Montmaray books by Michelle Cooper are also good reads.
