My the kitchen counter hot spot has been cleared! goal finally acheived. yay!

whoohoo! attention please i have to announce, my kitchen counter has been found! i repeat, you can now see the counter! here is a picture! i know! you are so proud!

the before-i know total hot spot!
and NOW! the new and improved cleared off counter! whoohoo!

and while i realize cleaning off one counter is not a huge accomplishment to some people it is a big one for me. and on a day that I ...
  • went to breakfast with my fave girls
  • dropped off two kiddos at my mother in law's house far away for a cousin and grandma play date.
  • hit savers with the girls again shopping for Halloween goodness, and yes they found it!
  • rushed home and went on a lunch date with my hubby alone-to Serrano's
  • Hit sonic for Happy hour! needed a beverage
  • picked up the hoodlums walking home from school. saw that they don't walk together like required! they peeve me!
  • cleaned off the counter
  • rushed to pick up missing Kiddos from my mother in laws house 40 minutes round trip
  • came home to sweep
  • make homemade salsa
  • nagged Lance to start cooking the taco meat and the tortilla's for dinner-taco's are his specialty.
  • My sister in Law Alicia and her kids came for dinner
  • Alicia and i looked at paint samples. and narrowed down some choices
  • my mom and Gary came for dinner too
  • gained 4 new pets. one cage - 4 finches (birds). they make cute sounds, and i assume they will be messy but maybe I'll make that lance's job.
  • cleaned up after dinner just in time FOR PRIVATE PRACTICE! WHOoHOOO! LOVED IT!
  • then i watched dirty sexy money. and hmmm interesting premiere.
  • came up and sat down to blog
  • had to wipe down the counter so i could take a picture. to post!
  • finishing up this rad long post! and considering adding links. but that takes time and i wanna get to my book. so yeah it was a fleeting thought. nothing i will follow through on.
so full day! not un-enjoyable though! I am so excited about the new season and Private Practice!
i am also stoked about my meet Lisa lunch tomorrow! it should be interesting if nothing else! and yes i am nervous! just a little! but a little is better than alot! in this case. and this is why... because Lisa is a personal trainer! i am not thin therefore i am afraid of personal trainers and in all actuality most skinny people too. yup that was a confession! i know pathetic and yet irrational fear is just that not rational.

and Just so you know, i am game to go to lunch with any of my new or old blog friends. but be warned if i say "let's go to lunch" it will most likely be to barro's or somewhere that is Kid friendly. since i am rarely without my entourage! my peeps, my back up dancers, my gang, my kiddos , my homies!

and tomorrow i will be busy too, including but not limited to, Lunch, the pet store for dog food,
the new MARSHALL'S AT DOBSON RIVERVIEW IS HAVING IT'S GRAND OPENING! Girls Night Out! and perhaps I'll deliver my homemaking board invites to the people designated to me, about Saturday nights good time. And maybe I'll do the rest of my visiting teaching, which means dropping a note by with a treat! I can't believe the month is almost over. have a happy Thursday! G'night!

Wow! So impressed with your day! Love the bread box too, by the way. And it must have been fiesta night because we had tacos, too.

I feel you about the counter. I keep trying to organize my apartment. I've spent all week decorating, cleaning,and organizing. No matter how much I do it still doesn't change the fact that I live in a 600 sq ft apartment. There just isn't enough room to live. I think your counter looks fabulous! Good luck on the trainer, you'll have a great time!

That is awesome. I have a catch all counter, and I feel so good when I get it under control. You did awesome. I wish I could go to the new Marshalls. I will be out of town, but if I wasn't babysitting Monday I would go then. Now mondays suck when it is your turn.
