How Much Laundry Can One Girl Handle?

My laundry dilemma...and I don't know how this happened...but...and I know I have chatted about this before but...

I have a bin for regular clothes but then those have to be separated into darks and lights. Right?

Then a bin for sheets.

Then a bin for towels.

Then the dreaded fine washable bin...which also must be separated into darks and lights and then I hang those on hangers to dry. Plus...to further complicate this laundry process...there is a meshy bag within the fine washable bin that holds Den's fine washables which he likes finely washed but not hung! Help!

I truly don't know how this happened other then I am bin crazy! In my mind...if it's in a bin...it's almost done. I like to think about things in a compartmentalized sort of way...I wonder what this says about me...hmmmm!

And in addition to my laundry blues...I can't fold until the clothes are cool...guess why?

She literally races me to the laundry room when she hears the dryer go off! And...she knows the difference between the washer beep and the dryer beep!

I wonder if I only had one bin if I would have less laundry? But then I would have to sort?

Books...

this one...it's so good...I love it! Prague...magic...mystery...suspense...danger!

I Am Still Tired!

Travel exhausts me...it truly does! I have not unpacked yet...there are still no groceries...I feel as though I am playing catch up with everything. Laundry? I will be folding all day long...sigh...

The two things I really need to do today...treadmill and grocery getting...are the last two things I want to do!

Long sigh...it's a good thing you can't hear me!

Plus I fell asleep before I saw who got kicked off of The Bachelor!

And woke up wired at 2:30AM!

I am trying to decide what we can eat without me leaving the house...eggs, pasta, soup? Hmmm...

I am still watching Lucy for signs of a concussion...she is a bit subdued...for her...and she won't tell me how many fingers I am holding up...lol...

Ok...coffee is helping...I am going to focus on laundry...and I am going to breathe!



Pudding cups with Cool Whip help! They help all of us!

I Am Tired!

Seriously...even short travel is draining...ask Lucy...she did a backward flip off of the island yesterday and I thought she really hurt herself...she missed and totally flipped over...it was frightening!

She is resting today...lol...



It's snowing...hard...it's hard to believe it was 60 degrees warmer in Houston and we are in full blizzard mode right now.

We totally kept away from our iPads this week end...we didn't even bring them...I read The Taker on the plane and did not love it...I am reading The Sholes Key now and really do love it. The downside of no IPad was sorting through a kazillion emails last night but I just deleted like crazy...it felt so good! I think someone was mad because I missed a blog tour...but I really didn't even care...I can't do deadlines any more...I really can't!



Today...there is no plan...thank goodness! Just unpacking, laundry, tidying, and snow watching! I need to get out and get provisions! I love that word...provisions!


I would love to read these before Feb.1st and I probably will...maybe...hopefully...possibly!

Did You Miss Me?

We are back! We spent the weekend in Houston! It was a chance to see my brother before he moves to London. Found a new fave restaurant in Houston called Perry's...romantic and fun! Great food and awesome soft piano music in the background.







My favorite items on the menu? The wedge salad was amazing...



We split a Deconstructed Lemon Meringue Pie for dessert...it was so good...lemon pudding, gingered blueberries, shortbread pieces and a meringue mountain!



And it only took an hour for Lucy to forgive me!


I read two of my own books!

We are home safe and sound! We didn't check in luggage and that made the trip even more perfect!

It was 80 degrees in Houston...and 13 degrees when we left here on Friday!

Yikes!
