Get R Done Friday!

Time for Get R Done Friday!
ClassyChassy at Expressly Corgi is our host
for today.
I have not done much this week.
Been so tired lately.
Let down feelings after getting back from our trip.
The time change makes it dark when I get home from work.
Dark outside, sleepy eyes.
I have been so tired the last few days.
Yesterday I was alseep in the recliner when B-Daddy woke me up.
He said we needed to go to the Dollar Tree.
So that is our Get R Done Friday!
What is more important,
is that we remembered to take our
reusable bags.
Yay!
Here are our reuseable bags filled with items
from the Dollar Tree.
Stuff like toilet paper, laundry supplies, soymilk
and other supplies we needed.
The clerk thanked us for bringing our own bags!
The bag on the right is the one I won from
We always remember to take our bags to the grocery store,
but we don't always remember to take them to
the Dollar Tree.
Remembering the reuseable bags is an
important Get R Done in our house!
~~~~~~~
I had to check my spelling on
reuseable.
Reuse is not in my dictionary.
but useable and usable are both
acceptable spellings.
I wonder if newer dictionaries
now have "reuseable" in them.
~~~~~
So, what was your Get R Done today?
Happy Friday!

P.S. I promptly fell asleep in the recliner again after we got home.
This morning I am still exhausted.
I hope I can shake this tiredness.

Get R Done Friday!

Get R Done Friday is a new thing I am participating in now.
This is only the second time for me to jump in and join
ClassyChassy at Expressly Corgi.
We get to share things we have gotten done each week.
I have a Get R Done on my craft blog too.
~~~~~
I only have one picture to share of my Get R Done thing.
We have been working on getting things out of the house.
But my bags of things to get rid of have been sitting around the
house too long.
It was time to kick them out.
So kick them out I did.
Finally!
Here are the bags in the car.
That was progress, getting them from the house
to the car.
The paper bags were clothes we donated
to the Clothing Center run by
Church Women United that
our church is part of.
The black bag and white bag went to another donation place.
These things were not quite good enough for the
clothing center.
And the bag of batteries.
We had been saving those for awhile.
I weighed them.
That bag was 14 pounds!
Anyway, they went to a collection bucket
for old batteries at our church.
Then somebody takes care of them from there.
I am definitely happy to have gotten all those
bags out of the house!
What is your Get R Done project this week?

Get R Done Friday!

This is my first time to participate in this
Friday Meme.
Get R Done Friday is hosted
by ClassyChassy at
I found out about from
Thank you Barbara Jean
for letting me know about this opportunity.
I imagine most of the time I will do this meme
on my Sewing and Craft Blog,
but today I did something in the kitchen.
I have been home sick the last three days,
but today I felt better enough to tackle the kitchen.
I am almost too embarrassed to show you the
before picture.
But then you might not realize how bad it was
and why I needed to tackle the kitchen.
So without further ado,
here is embarrassing picture.
See what I mean.
Almost can't even see the counter.
I don't feel like doing anything when it is that bad.
So time to get at it.
I started with loading the dishwasher.
Then I put away what was in the drainer
which is in the sink.
And I went on from there.
In the process of putting things away,
I came across this candle warmer.
The scent is getting weak in the candle that is in there
which is a Pumpkin Spice type of scent.
I think I have melted the scent away now from
frequent use.
Time to put another candle in there.
TA DA!!
I did it!
There is the proof.
You can even still see the damp spot from wiping down the counters.
LOL!!
Ahhhh.....
Looks so much better.

The stove area.
I even hid some things up in the cupboard.
B-Daddy is probably going to have do some hunting.
The coffee cup on the stove is my cup for the day.
Currently it is right here beside me as I type
not there on the stove anymore.
heehee

The microwave over the stove does not work,
so we have this on the counter one we use.
Someday we will replace the over the stove one.
But they are not cheep I mean cheap.

I decided to put out my Halloween placemats I made last year.
Some of you may remember my posts about making those.
The table runner looks a little big for the breakfast bar area.

A close up of the yum yum fabric.

And the witches hat fabric.

Another view.
In the corner there you can still see B-Daddy paper tiger stack.
I will leave that for him.
I originally made this placemat and tablerunner set
for the round table we have in the family room.
I may still move it over there.
But guess what?
I have to clean it off first.
LOL!
For today, this is all I can handle.
Hope you have a great Friday!
