Okay well! I’m HOME from a really fun, really refreshing and really freeing weekend. And now it is time to FLY.
One of the things I really know I need to work on is getting back into some good routines and habits for my house. If you haven’t seen FlyLady you should check her out. I am going to do her “Beginer Baby Steps” the idea is that I’ll add something to my routine a day at a time until things are a bit more undercontrol around here.

This is such a fun first step, and it is one of the reasons I love flylady so much! Basically, on day one you scrub and scour your sink until it shines… then it sort of serves as a mascot for your house. Every night you make sure the sink is clean (aka no dirty dishes in it!) then you wipe it down with a dish towl…The next morning you wake up the next morning to a pretty sink shine again…. I think as a perfectionist, for me it is really important to be able to obsess over something so that I feel inspired
A little crazy, and a little bit perfect for me.
Anyways in addition to that, I’ve got a bit of Creative Team work to do, and a some work to do for a cabinet company I do some page designing work for. Also, i’m still short a few thank you cards and Wednesday is my deadline for that I think.
Oh!!! And on my little weekend excursions, my fabulous friends colored and cut my hair!
It turned out so great, I absolutely LOVE it, and it was so funny because I bought a highlighting kit in the grocery store, and the only siscors we could find were some dull kitchen scissors (they didn’t work) and some tiny travel Crochet scissors -it was a total crack up, and this woman totally rocked it! I’ll be working on getting some more pics up soon but here is one for starters:

Okay happy week to you all!

I LOVE that you do FlyLady, Shawna! Perfect. I found her back in July 2002 when I had just had my first, River. I looked and felt exactly like Frannie in the pink sweats. I am often pleasantly surprised at your blog to find the many things we have in common.
I’m getting much better with my CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome). After all these years, I manage a little better with FlyLady whispering in my ear. In fact, I got so involved with her “program” some time back – that I attended the first-ever Regional FlyFest with my feather duster and my son in a stroller in Gilroy, California. I have pictures of the event. I should show them or scrap them, me thinks! (That just occurred to me now!) What a novel concept.
You rock, btw, Shawna. Keep on doing what you are doing and good things will come of it. BTW, how long have you been flying?
