OK, Folks! Enough of this Messy Kitchen Table!!!

      I have HAD it with my messy kitchen table and I"m saying good bye to any pride I have left and showing you the state of my table. Truth be told, this isn't even the WORST it's ever been! I've actually been working (albeit, half-heartedly) for the last few days. But, as you can see, it's still looking pretty awful.
     It's the table of a person with ADHD, but that's no excuse for it. I CAN keep it clean and pretty!! I've done it before, and I can do it again and for longer. So, here's my promise: it WILL be clean by 5:00 PM PST, and I'd like you to check back in later today (Jan 28) and see the picture of my CLEAN TABLE.
      This is known as the General DeGaulle Method.  When he wanted to quit smoking, he announced to his entire staff that he already HAD, and then he, indeed, DID have to, or disgrace himself in front of the people who mattered to him.
      So, bye for now, I've got some cleaning to do. See ya later!

Living room, Doll is Dressed, Olympics

Well, what can I say. I was doing OK on the living room, but have backslid, so am still dealing with it. No pics--it would be TOO embarrassing!!!

Instead, I will show my Hitty with her new dress. she waited a LONG time for this dress, sitting naked on a bookshelf. Her friend still is naked; will try to fix that soon. Somehow, this Hitty has sustained an injury to the tip of her nose; must have landed on it at least once. Will fix eventually--doesn't show much.

We abandoned our usual Friday night fare of PBS for the opening of the Vancouver Olympics last night. I thought the show was wonderful! I was amazed at the effects: the spouting whales were my VERY favorite, but the flying boy was very good, too. The sound left us about 11 times during the two plus hours, but was never out very long.

Saturday--I WILL CLEAN, I WILL! and TV & knitting

Today I WILL clean my sewing and knitting stuff out of the living room!!! I WILL!! I PROMISE!!! This time I MEAN it. Really, I've GOT to do it--I've had it at the top of my TO DO list for two months!! At the end of every day, I'm disgusted with myself for not doing it, and I'm tired of that feeling. Tonight I will retire with the satisfaction of knowing I finally faced this task and completed it!!
I finished half a helmet liner (for the military) last night while listening to my Friday evening schedule of PBS shows: Washington Week, NOW, The Journal with Bill Moyers--I really like these shows and I can knit or sew and listen. I don't look at TV much, just listen. As a child of the radio era, it seems normal for me. Of course, I DO look when I need to--some things you have to see.
