First thing is first. The Supreme Court has tossed a case to overturn Roe v. Wade

Okay, on Starting Over today, JOSIE didn't reveal WHO Chloe's father is! The preview of tommorows show makes it sound as if she'll do that then. URRGH! I WANT TO KNOW! I don't sit around & watch TV all day, just this one show. It can be very inspiring for people to improve their lives. For me, it's helped inspire me to begin healing the pain of things in my past. Funny thing, the VERY day I found this on-line support group (which I'd told NOBODY about) I get an e-mail from an old co-worker/friend (Dick...this IS his name btw) titled "25 ways to say I LOVE YOU" It was pretty funny & really lifted my spirits.
As for FLYLady & this weeks zone...I have yet to look at my e-mail & it's 9:13 pm as I write. I underestimated how long it would take to rid the shower of soap scum & hard water build-up last night. I did get THAT done last night, but then today I spent an hour waxing my shower. It was the first time I've ever waxed a shower so I had NO idea how long it would take. BTW...did YOU know that you can wash a shower curtian liner in the washing machine? That made the white build up vanish! The reward of a clean, sparleking shower & tub felt great. For the first time in years, I actually ENJOYED taking a shower. It was a very relaxing experience. DH noticed when he went to shower tonight & said "GEE! What happened here? This looks REALLY nice". That just made the reward more sweet. I guess a clean shower really does say "I love you". I also decluttered the bath cabinets & tossed an entire trash bag FULL of half used cleaning products, old make-up & misc. "stuff" that I had no idea WHAT it's use was. All of DH's "read" bathroom reading material found a new home as well. My DD (age 2) even wiped down the bathroom door for me. She's such a little helper sometimes. :-)
The next task is to tackle the "guest" bathroom, or should I say "junk" room. There are things in there that I don't even know HOW they got there! For example, WHY in HOLY H5!! is there a foam mattress in there that I asked DH to dispose of MONTHS ago. Granted, I SHOULD have taken it to the dumpster myself, but I was always overwhelmed with everything else that needed to get done. The reward for me will be this weekend when I get to paint & begin to decorate that bathroom. What I've heard from many sources is in fact true..."You CAN'T organize clutter". My home is by no means a health hazard...it's not 1/3 as bad as many of the homes shown on TLC's Clean Sweep. The fact of the matter is that I can see that my home is headed that way in the future if I don't change things now. Just like I'm headed for a heart attack or worse if I don't begin to convert to a healthier lifestyle now. Last month I lost 3 pounds & haven't lost anymore this month. I also haven't gained any weight. I'm doing something right though because my pants are fitting looser. It know it probably means that I am exchanging fat for muscle. I also know that muscle is more dense than fat & that muscle weighs more than fat. In addition, the more lean muscle mass you have, the more efficently you burn stored fat. When I remember these things, then I no longer get discouraged & go on an eating binge. Slowly, the junk food is dissappearing from my home. Once again I hear FLYLadys voice saying "Baby steps Mary, take those baby steps". I'm beginning to think I'm becomming FLYwashed. LOL My fellow FLY Babies will know what I'm talking about.
