How productive was your day?

I went grocery shoppingMade mini-meatballs and let them cook all day in the crockpotMade cupcakesCleaned my home, including the ceilings, walls under furniturere-arranged the furniture (DH has a surprise coming)mopped the whole placedid all the laundry including rugs, blankets, etc.Baked bread - Well okay, that was just a Pillsbury frenchbread, but it's smells good.I feel so good right now, I'm wanting to open up a bottle of wine. How was your day?

Re: How productive was your day?

  • I wasn't nearly that productive. Come to think of it, I wasn't productive at all. This happens to be a bad habit of mine. My day was still good, though.

  • I sat in front of the computer all day, and I am nearly finished with my presentation. I just have to put the PowerPoint together and then write my conclusion. I'm feeling good enough about it that I am going to watch a couple of episodes of SVU while I do the PowerPoint.Yay! Tomorrow night = rest.

  • There is nothing better to finish off a productive day like you had then a bottle of wine :)  I say go for it.  My day was really busy and I just found out we have to come in Saturday & Sunday.  Grreat.
  • Stop showing off! I "worked" all day.

  • I productive up until noon.  Then it stopped, and I have no excuse.  Bummer.  Maybe I'll open a bottle of wine anyway. 
  • DH is going to be shocked.  I hate cleaning.  I hate is so much he wants to get me a cleaning lady.   Not sure what made me do this all day.  I started at 7:30am.I think I will open up that bottle.  Is it bad I will be drinking alone in my own home?

  • I woke up at 1. I went online. I made a scramble with eggs, soy-rizo, zucchini, spinach and soy cheese on an Ezekiel tortilla. I am going to clean the house now. Tonight I am having a sleepover with my 14 and 17 yr old SILs and I am going to give them a bunch of old clothes and makeup.

  • lynda, they are one of my favorite low carb snacks.  Those and roasted almonds, which I also get to make today.  And since today is just a continuation of yesterday, I have to find a chiropractor and a doctor.  Wohoo!

  • Epic fail pretty much sums up my productivity. I'm going to make a dinner reservation for the honeymoon online now so I can say I actually did something.

  • The word "non" pretty much sums it up.  I did a tad bit of WR work (re-formatting addresses for the calligrapher) but that's about it.  I do plan on making it to the gym tonight though.
  •  - I was summoned for jury duty this morning and went to that (ugh), lucky I don't have to be a juror, YES!!! - I went to the library and checked out a book I needed - I got a tiny bit of homework done (although I shouldv'e done more) - I bought Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 today (YES!!! Although I am not allowed to play it until FI gets home, but then I have class tonight so he can't play it.. so we won't be able to start until tomorrow after work!) And that is about it..
  • I was insanely productive at work.  But, I adore my job.Tonight, I shall be insanely productive at drinking a bottle of wine.  Yum.
  • I was summoned to jury duty too.  Next Friday.  I am hoping to be chosen.  I think it'd be interesting.

  • Well ,yes mandy you are right.  Sadly I'm the one who cleans. In his defense he works 80-90 hours a week to my mere 32.    Not only do I have more time to clean, I'm the one home more to make the mess also.He does like to use the swifter duster and the Shark from time to time.FYI to any ladies with boys, Teach them how to clean from an early age.  My MIL did not let allow her kids to clean. Even to this day her daughters are not allowed to touch the washing machine or vaccume.

  • I had jury duty once for a botched oil change. My husband had to be on a jury for a child molesting case. And there was a lot of evidence that the kid was coerced into saying things and had very consistent testimony, but there was evidence against also. It was heartbreaking. Do you punish a possibly innocent man, or do you let a molestor go free? He was emotionally drained for days. I would not have wanted to be on that jury.

  • I've never been called for jury duty. If I was I doubt they would pick me.  One of the questions is do you trust the VIPD.  Sadly I do not trust the VIPD at all.  They are so corupt it's crazy.

  • i got home.  oh and i bought some stuff for the hall bath.  so that's good.
  • Ugh, not productive at all. I slept till 11, skipping my first class. I did go to my other two classes and attempted to go to my last class, but it was cancelled and I didn't check my friggin e-mail! I'm thinking about cleaning the bathroom and kitchen and vacuuming.
