What a GREAT day!

 With a tremendous burst of energy gratefully reserved for my only day off this week, I was up early and ready to tackle a full day's worth of household tasks and chores...
As I sit here now in my AMAZINGLY clean and COMPLETELY organized house...I must share with you what I accomplished in just under eight hours:
 

• The Christmas tree and all ornaments and decorations were (neatly, orderly and meticulously) taken down and put away.
• All the Christmas dishes, platters, cups, etc have been washed and organized and put away (perfectly and in an amazingly organized manner) for use next year.
•  Four loads of laundry were washed, dried, folded and put away. Including sheets and all towels. 
• Two boxes and one giant bag brought out to the dumpster! (I LOVE having the dumpsters!)
• I took all the gifts that were left here for my two sisters up north to the post office to be shipped off today. 
• One big load was dropped at the Goodwill.
• I even spent 1/2 hour on the treadmill and then an hour with my trainer at the gym today! (Barely 4% of my day!) 
• I came back home to dust, sweep the patio, water the plants and take down all the Christmas lights--inside and out. (Which, of course, are now ALSO neatly put away for next year!)
• The entire house has been vacuumed.
• The bathrooms have been cleaned and I spent a little time organizing and straightening things up in the garage. 
• And I mended a hole in my jeans (that was for YOU, Kelly!) 

I am now ready to go back to work for the next couple of days...

and then on to Arizona Sunday for my cousin Robin's New Year's Eve wedding!

Oh how lovely a clean and orderly home feels!
And OH how I love a productive day off!
