2010 Color of the Year

Image
CARLSTADT, N.J., Dec. 8, 2009 –Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company (NASDAQ: XRIT), and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, today announced PANTONE® 15-5519 Turquoise , an inviting, luminous hue, as the color of the year for 2010. So, do you think you will use turquoise in your home?  I am thinking about painting my office this color.  How about you?
Go Massachusetts!

Bagless

I hate, and I don't like to use the "h" word but I, hate bagless vacuum cleaners.  My husband is convinced this is better.  But, he never cleans them so why would he care? Who likes this idea of fooling with the cup to empty the dust and dirt which inevitably flies in your face.  There are always at least two filters to clean.  You have to manually clean the second sponge filter and let it dry before you can use it again.  Who likes to do this? What happened to the bag vacuum cleaners?  They were great.  They were cleaner.  They were easy.  There was just one bag. Bring back the bag vacuum cleaners!! Who likes to clean a bagless?

In An Effort to Be More Organized . . .

I put together a chore sheet for myself.  It's a bit daunting, but perhaps I could spread this out over two weeks.  Do you have a chore sheet? Daily Tasks Monday: change bed linens laundry vacuum upstairs/dust   Tuesday: laundry room vacuum downstairs/dust wipe down door knobs, phones, remote controls and light switches send out cards (thank yous and birthdays)   Wednesday: clean out fridge mop kitchen floor deep-clean kitchen   Thursday: clean master bedroom and all baths Friday: office sewing room organize set aside donation items

You can do anything you want.

Be inspired.
