Average Jane Does Housework

I'm up early today, so it seemed logical for me to get some things done around the house. I started with the kitchen, which is a major target since I signed up for the Kitchn Cure yesterday. I don't live in an apartment, but my kitchen is cluttered and disorganized just the same. Now that it's light outside, I need to take all of my "before" pictures and post them on Flickr.

After that, my goal is to clean out one pair of cupboards. I think I can fit that in before I have to take Velcro to the vet at 10.

I'm also working to get caught up on laundry. While I was folding clothes from the dryer a few minutes ago, it occurred to me that there are two really stupid things going on with my laundry system that could be easily remedied. First of all, I am still using a top-loading washing machine that deposits noticeable clumps of lint over all of my dark clothes. I've been trying to hold out until the machine dies, but that really makes no sense. It's time for an upgrade.

My second and even more easily fixed laundry issue: I buy the store brand dryer sheets that don't really smell that good. How cheap am I? (Don't answer that.)

I was planning on being home most of the day today, but I ended up scheduling a bunch of stuff after all. I'm going to volunteer with an animal rescue organization for a while this afternoon, and my Disney Princesses on Ice tickets got switched to tonight after they cancelled Sunday's 6 o'clock show. I guess I'll be making all of my Easter dishes tomorrow morning.

Next on my agenda: sweeping up around the cat boxes in the basement. Don't you wish you were me?

When you're all finished with that, I call next.

Just kidding!

I'll be cleaning though out the day too. And watching b-ball.

Ugh. My kitchen counter needs my attention. The one that catches all the junk. It's calling my name. So far I'm just putting ear plugs in and ignoring it.

Have a great day!

Save yourself a bit more and pass on the dryer sheets entirely. They don't do the laundry any good, rather the opposite actually, even if they do smell ok.
