I am so happy THIS Monday has come!! I finished organizing my workroom, put a table full of this and that in the carport on Saturday, and invited anyone to take what they wanted. More than half of the things were gone when I went out at 2:30 to see what was left. I boxed up what was left, put it in my car without a second glance, and will go today to donate it. Done and done!!
The turkey is in the fridge so it can thaw by Thursday morning. Thanksgiving is sorted and will come together just right. There won't be a houseful this year, but a shorter table is fine and good friends will be the best dessert (though there will be pumpkin pie and pecan pie)!
After Sunday school and church yesterday, I did my usual two loads of laundry, and I made a pot of chili that will taste even better today!
There is nothing on my calendar until Thursday so I have plenty of time to tidy the house, get some baking done ahead, and plan my table settings. Come the weekend, I will be sorting through Christmas decorations and getting them pared down to (hopefully) just one tote instead of FIVE. I'm on a roll and I'm not looking back!!
This is going to be a busy week for us, cooking, etc. Then we pack it all up and head for Jax to celebrate with niece Deborah. I'm so excited! Hope you have a great week Terri. 🤗
ReplyDeleteHooray for you! I know how good that feels.
ReplyDeleteI'm busy this week, lots to do before Thursday and then crazy things are thrown in like the dentist. :)
Enjoy your day!
TOWANDA - I loved that show.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a busy week and you are all ready for it girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, Terri, you certainly have it going on, as they say! You're doing a marvelous job, too, of reorganizing and purging. I need to do the same. Have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteGirl, you're on a roll! I love the idea of putting stuff out on a table for others' taking. So much so, I may steal your idea. (After Thanksgiving, that is!) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I got rid of a lot of my Christmas stuff last year. We'll see if even more will go away this year. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI am SO happy you got that done in time for Thanksgiving. Now you can just enjoy the festivities, and not worry about anyone spilling pumpkin pie or gravy on the carpet! LOL. (because there IS no carpet!) I love that for us here too! How neat that you got rid of stuff by giving it away! I'm sure the recipients appreciated everything! Smart girl! Now enjoy your week!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. Come on up when you are done and get me on a roll.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for getting rid of so much stuff! Would you come to my house next? :) I like your idea of just putting things out there for people to take I may try that! Have a happy Thanksgiving!
