hodge podge

Last night was spent among great friends. All we did was attend dinner, but the laughing was uncontrollable. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. In fact I couldn't get a good photo because we kept laughing in every shot.














Oh well, it was fun.

But today is all business.


So, in continuance with the re-organization of my entire house, here goes.....

Today so far I have finished the medicine cabinet, utility room cabinets, freezer, and the pantry is in process. I took a break for lunch and blogging.

Some of it still doesn't look very organized, but keep in mind that it's hard to do something else with a bunch of canning stuff and laundry detergent. I still want things functional. And the cabinet doors are always closed.

Then I went to the laundry room.....these cabinets were really starting to get on my nerves.

And because I had headphones in my ears, rocking some good music, I had NO IDEA that the hubs was snapping photos of me crawling on the washing machine, dryer, and deep freeze. I can't reach the cabinets otherwise, and it's easier than climbing a ladder and having to constantly move it back and forth. This way I just walk side to side and get things accomplished faster.

(Please excuse the way I look. I apologize for the spandex. I just finished my kickboxing class.)






















Let's pause right here for a funny story.

Today, in kb class, my vietmanese fireball of a fitness instructor thought he was funny. And in all honesty, I got a giggle out of it too. So did the bestie.

I worked out at home yesterday to two of the P90x videos. One of which was plyometrics, in other words.......jumping around A LOT and tons of leg stuff. So my legs were already really sore this morning before kickboxing, and he chose today as leg day. Ugh!

So, he has us partner up for "Toe kicks". This is when one person kneels and holds their hands out for the other to switch kick while keeping their legs straight. Fast as you can without tripping.

For some reason Mr. Dinh is especially hard on me. He thinks it's funny to stand while I switch kick and make me kick higher and higher. It's REALLY hard.

Well, today I was partnering with the bestie, and moving slowly because my legs felt like they were going to fall off of my body any minute. He's behind me on his headset talking to the class, while it's my turn at switch kicking, when I hear him say over the speaker....

"If you have on new shoes, kick faster..........
If those new shoes have your name on them, kick SUPER fast."

Then he starts gigling, and the bestie starts giggling.

Then I realize.

I designed and ordered these shoes off of nikeID, they were a Christmas present (fairly new) and I had my name embordered below the swoosh.

He thinks he is SO funny. Mr. Jokester.

If this little story didn't make you smile, go back and read it again, but this time remembering that he has a cute little asain accent when he talks.



Now back to the organizing,

Whew! That's enough for today. I think I will resume my normal cleaning routine.

Tomorrow I'll accomplish the rest of the kitchen cabinets and finish the pantry. Those two kinda go together at my house anyway.

Good day mate!
