Sketchie Vs. The Broom

Good evening!

I hope you are all enjoying your day. My day was very productive! I cleaned house– top to bottom! Well, I haven’t quite finished everything yet but I cleaned for several hours today.

Everything was dusty since the boys sanded down the walls in the family room and it was driving me nutso.

Today’s workout (*smiles) included:

• Swept + vacuumed entire main level
• Mopped kitchen + eat in + entry way
• Swept and mopped staircase
• 2 loads of laundry
• Stripped spare bed and put new sheets on
• Emptied all garbage’s
• Stripped my bed and made it
• Cleaned our Master Bathroom (Scrubbed toilet, Windex’d mirror, cleaned and organized counter)
• General tidying
• Cleaned kitchen sink + counter tops
• Tidying of office, put away papers, mail, etc.

It felt great to get the house in order! :) I love the feeling of a clean house. I will finish up the cleaning tomorrow.

We just got back from the airport– we dropped off my brother-in-law as he is now on his way back home! It was nice to visit with him, and we reeeally hope him and my sister + nephews will be moving back in the near future! ;)

The funny thing is, I got about 5 of these videos in a row because he kept doing it. I was in HYSTERICS laughing. Remember this afternoon’s post about Sketchie??? I said a day doesn’t go by that I don’t laugh my ass off from that cat….I don’t lie.

Remember this video from when he was a kitten?

Some things never change!

Stay tuned for more…I will upload some tomorrow. :D

You Voted on the Top News Worthy Story of the Day

In this morning’s post you told me what you thought was the most interesting health story of the day:

The winner: “Top Foods To Lift Your Mood”

Do you consume the following foods on a regular basis?

1) Bananas (daily)

2) Popcorn (no)

3) Water (daily in the form of tea mostly)

4) Spinach (daily)

5) Salmon (1-2x per week)

Will you be adding any of these mood boosting foods to your diet more frequently? Do you notice certain foods that boost your mood?

Ok, this may be a huge placebo effect but ever since I started eating spinach on a daily basis (it has been a couple weeks now), I feel that it really does boost my mood. I just had a huge spinach salad with dinner and I feel strangely giddy tonight. Could it be the B vitamins?!

I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I thought I would end tonight with some of my own motivational words:

Keep the faith, no matter how dark and winding the road,

A smile goes a long way,

Chin up, hold your head high,

This too shall pass.

Challenges make us stronger,

better people, we grow,

filling our hearts with more love.

Stop dwelling on the past, don’t delay,

Your life is worth living TODAY.

Cya tomorrow morning everyone! I’m off to watch 24! LOL
