The last couple of days have been the kind where I've been quite productive, but it's stuff that you probably wouldn't notice unless you knew what to look for. I actually wonder if the hubby thinks I don't do anything all day because it's not necessarily noticeable. So here are some snapshots from the week:
These are bathtubs. Shaped like shoes. I love shoes, but I really don't want a shoe shaped bathtub. Although I do have to admit that the back looks quite comfy to lean up against. So, yesterday I was the queen of plumbing. I unplugged both a toilet and a kitchen sink. The first I had to use tongs (ugh...don't ask), the second involved drain cleaner and a plunger. I felt accomplished, but it's not something visible once it's taken care of.
I've also been organizing closets a little at a time. I'm at that point where I've recycled, thrown stuff away, put stuff in the Goodwill pile, etc., but again, you can't really tell. Well, I can tell, but I'm not sure anyone else could. They would probably still just see a mess in the closets. Not like the above closet which is very organized. Holy buckets that's a lot of shoes. No matter what you may think, I really don't want that many pairs of shoes in my life.
I went to the library. Which, let's face it, was more for me than for the purpose of productivity. Also, how cute are those shoes?
I went grocery shopping. These are shoes crocheted out of plastic grocery bags. I appreciate the upcycling of the bags, but I don't see myself making these anytime soon. Especially since I use reusable bags about 90-95% of the time. Speaking of crocheting and closet organizing, what the heck do people do with leftover yarn? I always think I'm going to use it for something, and I've used some of it, but it just adds up. Any suggestions as to what other people do?
After I got home from errands I got sucked into a yard project I hadn't planned on doing today. Since I hadn't planned on it, but started working on it on one of my trips to the recycling and garbage cans, I didn't have gloves or clippers. We have a pile of branches from a tree we trimmed forever ago and I finally decided to put as much as I could into the yard waste bins, which meant breaking the branches down as much as possible. I only scratched myself a couple of times. OK, 9 times. Also, what the hell is up with these flip flops?!
Finally, I went shoe shopping and used the rest of my gift cards. I got 3 new pairs of shoes (so 4 total from gift cards!). These are Clarks, and yes they have the stupid thing between my toes, but I'm trying to get used to it because I like Clarks in general, I like these specifically, and they are otherwise comfortable. And they fit better than they look in the picture. I don't know why my toes are hanging over like that. I went shopping today because I looked down this morning to find Chalupa on the floor chewing the crap out of my black summer shoes. Little shit. So here are the replacements. I would just like to point out, though, that I took a large garbage bag full of shoes to Goodwill on Monday and when I got home today I threw away the black pair and also put 3 more pairs into the Goodwill pile.
I accomplished a bunch of other stuff, but you don't need shoes for everything. The most obvious of these would be that an hour ago Tallulah threw up and I caught it in a napkin. I gave you poop shoes, you don't also need puke shoes. Oh man, I really hope there aren't any out there...
