Pie, home and a wonderful life

August 24, 2009

Today was amazing.  I’ve decided that Monday is going to be my cleaning day, it’s what the FlyLady does for her “weekly home blessing hour” (I don’t like the phrasing, but I like the idea).  On mondays, I will be doing the following:

Washing all towels and sheets
dusting
general cleanup after the relaxing weekend
vacuuming
cleaning all the mirrors

I [...]

The final push.

August 21, 2009

Typically, when cleaning, I hit a roadblock at some point.  Then I have a pile somewhere that only ends up getting bigger.  My solution (for this attempt)?  I have invited my family over for dinner tonight.  We’ll be dining on some various chickeny things and probably playing some sort of boardgame and explaining fantasy football [...]

I’m going to try and use the 15 minutes chunk theory for the dining room table.  It’s [...]

Don't overdo it now!

August 12, 2009

So, I did pretty good on my goals today.  Most likely because I didn’t make too many of them!  I did my load of laundry (folded too!) and got all of Gracie’s clothes into her room and (mostly) put away.  All I have to do with that is sort her too big stuff and get [...]

Goals

August 12, 2009

So my last list didn’t go so well.  It’s been very hard for me to work on stuff when Chris is home.  We tend to get get errands done which is good, but then I’m just not home alone, which is how I really work best.
Today:

Tidy up as much as I can
one load of laundry [...]

Goals for today-8/10/09

Actually finish Gracie’s clothes!
Do one load of laundry
Make up “chore charts” of daily and weekly chores
Work on the stuff on the table

I’ve got lots of time, that is what I have to remind myself.  Also, I totally need to go to the grocery store and pick up some things.  Woohoo for that!
I’d also like to [...]

"Hope!"

August 10, 2009

The first show I really stage managed (and I”ve currently stage managed eight shows in 4 years) was The Misanthrope.  One of the very foppish characters writes a sonnet that focuses on the word “hope” and it’s about as far as he can get.  One of my good friends played the role and did that [...]

My personal project

August 7, 2009

My biggest upcoming project is my DHCT directing debut of It’s a Wonderful Life.  It’s the stage version of the movie and is very faithful to the screenplay.  This project is exciting and daunting all at the same time.
What is really interesting to me, in my self-reflections, is that in order to really work on [...]

Goals for today!

August 7, 2009

Goals:

Clean and organize (as much as possible) Gracie’s room.
Clean up clutter in the living room
Vacuum as much as possible (whatever is clutter free)
Go through Gracie’s clothes, box up too small and make sure it’s all where it needs to be.

Yeah, it’s a lot, but I’ve already done a lot.  Gracie’s room is about to be [...]

The fourth commandment

August 6, 2009

Today, my grandma (my mom’s mom) is having surgery for breast cancer.  Please, keep her in your prayers.
Thinking about this led me to contemplate, albeit briefly, the fourth commandment.  For references sake, here’s the passage:
Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, so that your days may be long and [...]
