New year new me!

The new year has come and gone and I've been doing alot of thinking.... it's time for a new outlook on life. I've decided I need to get my house in order, I need to lose weight, I need to quit smoking and I need to get back on track with school. I know those are all things everyone has said before but this year is my year. I'm sick of being fat, I'm sick of the CHAOS in my house, I'm sick of smoking, and I want to have a college degree.

So I was telling my grandma about my new plan and she told me I needed to schedule my day. My therapist said the same thing. So last week I sat down and planned out my entire day. Making time for cleaning, exercise, family time, school work and even a couple hours for making jewelry. Monday I start my new schedule. My husband is going out of town for the month of January and I'll have plenty of time to get the schedule in place while he is gone.

I've taken pictures of my house in it's current state, trashed. And when I finish cleaning today I'll post after pictures.

Name That Kitchen Utensil

I admit that I've been really sucky at the pccx challenge even though I was so excited for it to start.  Now that I'm starting a new job tomorrow, I'll either get back on the horse and start getting stuff done again, or really enjoy my days off and do nothing, we'll see LOL

So since it was kitchen week, I went into my utensil drawer and pulled out 2 ziploc bags of crap that my father purchased from a garage sale.  Why he bought 2 is beyond me since the same items were in both. Needless to say, I tossed one in the trash and kept the other.  Now, I must try to figure out what these utensils are! 

The end of this is flat like a screwdriver. The circles near the handle are not large enough to put your fingers through. I'm at a complete loss.

Clearly a grapefruit utensil, right?

WTH is this?  Plastic; Open circle at one end; Corkscrew like at bottom with a pointed edge AND its hollow through the corkscrew thing. 

I know it shows both, but this image is for the cheese slicer?  Question mark because that's what I think it is, but I'm not really sure LOL

This looks a lot like 2 pics above, except its metal and the corkscrew plastic piece isn't hollow.  Still has the round circle at the top. Anyone know what it is, anyone?

Ummm??? Pouring spout at the top. "Teeth" at the bottom. Name this utensil. Please.

Living Room Floor Part 4

Pics only as I'm too tired to be witty :p

Note: The Resolve after steam cleaning did in fact lighten the stain a bit more :D

I couldn't just move the furniture back when I noticed what the wood looked like...

Once I put everything back into its place, my Dad said "Should we start taking bets on how long it will take me to spill something?"

I said "Sorry, but that will be your death date/time."

He laughed.

I wasn't joking...

Call Me Lazy...

It's okay. You can call me lazy. 

I've been taking this entire PCCX session to steam clean the living room. 

I'm still not done...

Last week I did another section. Kind of.  You see, what I actually did was pull out the couch and detail vacuum the area.  I didn't steam clean it.  I could have.  But I just wasn't feelin it after all of the vacuuming. 

First off in my defense, I think I vacuumed enough cat hair to create another cat.  Clearly there's visible stains there so I should have steam vac'd it.  Maybe next PCCX.  I still have actual floor that people can SEE that needs to be done instead.
