Yes, I'm still around ...

Been busy enough that I haven't spent much time online the last few days.  (For me, that's "busy"!!)  Spent Friday evening clearing off the dining room table where I throw the mail the whole time Mark is at work.  Come time for him to get home the thing is piled two feet high and I have to spend an entire evening sorting it all out and trashing the junk mail.  He'll be back on Wednesday (yeaaaah!), so it was definitely time. 

Then yesterday I spent the morning bathing the horses.  (For all the good it did for Lizzy - who managed to roll in the dirt in the cattle pen before she dried.  Should have made her stand around at the hitching rack, I guess.  Sigh.) 

Then, since I told the maid who was due to come clean next Monday not to bother to come by this month, I spent the rest of the day cleaning up the house.  There are so many things that belong in the barn stacked EVERYWHERE in this house at the moment that she couldn't have even FOUND the floors -- and I probably wouldn't have been able to find most of the barn stuff once she left since she has a tendency to stash things absolutely anywhere at all as long as it's out of sight! 

And today I'm in the process of washing clothes, cleaning out the office (again!) and cleaning up the back porch (again).  I'm hoping to get that all done by the end of the day so I can spend tomorrow just enjoying looking at a clean house and tidy closet!

Good thing it's a three-day weekend -- that's what it takes for me to get all that stuff done in one weekend.

Hope the weekend is fun instead of a project weekend for everyone else out there!  Enjoy!
