Pre-Follow Up

Today was very productive but I'll tell you all about it later. I'm getting ready for bed and looking forward to putting my feet up. If it wasn't for this harsh pregnancy-related sciatica, I'd stay up and do a proper post right now. But, I just can't tonight.

I have lots of pictures to download and then upload to my blog. And yes, every "before" has a following "after" picture.

I'll just say that from my list, I accomplished the following:

1. MAKE LIST (as mentioned)
2. REORGANIZE KITCHEN (rearrange, redecorate, clean, fill new island with necessary stuff, etc.)
3. EMPTY DISHWASHER
4. LOAD DISHWASHER
5. SWEEP AND WASH KITCHEN FLOOR
6. PUT WINTER STUFF IN "NEW" DRESSER
7. PUT AWAY DUFFEL BAG (that's been storing winter stuff)
8. SHOWER
9. FIX HAIR
10. MAKE SELF PRETTY
11. LIGHT A CANDLE
12. PLAY MUSIC (actually, I played a scripture tape instead... so uplifting!)

I also did the following:

1. CLEAN THE DININGROOM
2. LAY TABLE CLOTH AND PLACE MATS
3. STRAIGHTEN UP BATHROOM
4. GROCERY SHOPPING
5. REPACK AND FREEZE MEAT
6. TAKE PREGNANCY PROFILE PICS (actually, Toby did that.)

The kitchen was by far the biggest task but I'm so happy to say that every cupboard (except for under the sink) and nook and cranny is organized and has it's own proper place. This really takes a load off my mind. I'm looking forward to doing lots of cooking and baking now that I have such an orderly kitchen. I splurged this evening and rewarded myself with red, cheery, new kitchen rugs. Talk about paradise and pleasure! It definitely was a good prize for the size of task my kitchen was today.

Stay tuned for pictures and more updates!
