Tuesday Toot

So over the weekend my husband and I cleaned out the garage, I thought I had better pictures to show just how much we had done. These are OK but I don't think that truly depict the hard work. So there is my Tuesday Toot! Now go Toot your own horn!!!!

Here is my ham of a husband before we got started, He tought I was looning to take before and after pictures. Blog Baby, I told him. To whihc he rolled his eyes. Like the shirt?

These are before the cleaning began, it is important to tell you that we have a 3 car garage but only 2 were ever able to be in there at one time!

After !

I can now put 3 cars in the garage!

Things seems to be a bit more orderly then they were.

I was also able to clear out the Closet in the basement where are mud room is!!!!!

I think I am finally starting to get a Green Thumb!!! I was never much for planting bulbs and things but this year I tried and I am liking the results!

Well I had hoped to have photos to share of this toot but my work and home computers are having a spat and don't seem to want to chat with each other so I can retrieve the pictures. So you will have to take my word for the work I have done at least till I can get the pictures posted.

This past weekend I finished putting my deck together for the Spring/Summer. I love to sit out there with a cup of coffee or better yet a nice glass of wine. So I hosed the deck off to get rid of the pollen which is an on going battle at least for the next couple of weeks, then I proceeded to plant flowers in all my flower pots and also planted some shrubs which will take 10 years to grow and provide us the privacy we want for our hot tub, but at least they are in. Last year I planted some wisteria which has exploded this year giving me the lush fence coverage I was hoping for. It doesn't sound like a lot of work but it was. So I am tooting my horn for all my hard work this weekend.

What's your Tuesday Toot?

Tuesday Toot

Hi there!
Well I am back from my hiatus, it wasn't nearly as relaxing as I would have hoped for but it was very productive. So much so that I decided to make it my Tuesday Toot. Below is a list of things I did while home the last few days. Keep in mind that I had 2 active kids to take care of since hubby was out gallivanting in Houston and Vegas for 5 days. I am sure that once I publish this post there will be more completed tasks that I remember so check back because the list may continue to evolve.

1) planted all the deck flowers as well as some shrubbery

2) Cleaned the hot tub and installed new pillow pads (but of course didn't use it to relax)

3) totally scrubbed my kitchen floor, I mean on my hands and knees, amazing the crap you don't see till you actually get on the floor.

4) cleaned out my dresser drawers of clothes that no longer fit, and made the fall/winter to Spring summer transition

5) totally reorganized our master bedroom closet (I need to take pictures so you appreciate the enormity of this project

6) cleaned out the dresser drawers for both the kids of clothes that no longer fit, and made the fall/winter to Spring summer transition

7) made dinner every night!!!! (no take out)

8) bought 2 new rugs 8 x 10 hauled them in and laid them down

9) Did 10 loads of Laundry

10) Let my kids play in the mud, more to come on that later

11) Didn't go to Walmart or Target and randomly buy stuff I don't need

12) organized the Craft storage area

13) made some cute presents/ door prize giveaways

14) and a bunch of little things I can't see to remember at this point.

The good news is that while I was doing all these things I came up with several good topics for blog posts so hopefully you will stay tuned!

Tuesday Toot

Sorry to keep going on and on about my race, but it was really important to me that I do this and do it well.
For those of you who don't know, I started to work out again and in the process I have lost 18lbs as well as built up my running endurance to where it once was. So I decided to take place in a 5K run / walk however my intent was to run the whole time and hopefully get a decent time. I ran the 5K in 33.21 and I place 279 our of 730 and I place 31st out of 91 for my age class. Now if I can shave off 8 minutes by next year I will win my age group!

SO my Tuesday Toot is a "I ran a 5K and I ran it well"
