Sunday ending not so badly

September 12th, 2005 at 05:35 am

Today was an interesting combination of events. I did run errands. Target and Albertsons. Did very well at Target. I stuck to my list and found a couple of things that were cheaper than the last time I bought them. I also had a fistful of coupons so the total only came out to $36. I did splurge and buy a new wallet. I was just sort of looking but found one that is small and has spaces for everything I need to carry. I’ve been feeling unorganized lately so this might help. I also wanted a new purse and went to Marshall’s but found nothing. I’m not grooving on the current styels in purses for some reason. So I left Marshalls without spending a dime. This is a small miracle in itself. Marshall’s can be a true downfall for me.

Grocery shopping was uneventful. Stuck to the list but I forgot to bring the$5 off coupon they sent in the mail just yesterday. Could have used it. The total came to $38 and change. I will remember next time.

Then came home did some homework; took a nap until DH got up. He woke up early since we had agreed to do something together. We went to see Ladies in Lavendar. It was a good film. The thing that struck me was the pace of life these two women lead and the small town they were part of. It was truly at the pace of human life. Oh, how refreshing. The focus was on talking to the people around you!! Not about getting stuff!! So refreshing.

Then we went for icecream and came home. I was in go mode, so I unloaded the dishwasher, packed lunch for tomorrow, made tea, and cleaned the kitchen. It almost looks like something out of Better Homes and Gardens – for a couple of minutes anyway. But everything is put away, the counters are clean and there are no dishes in the sink!! The sink even shines because I cleaned it too.

I have these brief moments where I really think this house is becoming organized. I can actually find the iron and take down the ironing board for use. And then when I am done, both items have a designated place to return to, facilitating the prevention of clutter. This is a lovely change. I hope to be doing more and more of this.

Thursday is payday. I am looking forward to it. This entire check is about paying off cc’s and other bills that are more in the “wants” category. The second check of the month is about paying off the needs – mortgage, utilities, etc.

Too tired for anymore. Going to bed early to prepare for the following week.
