Catching the Overflow Matthew 12:33–out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks

• Thanks to the Flylady—you can do anything for 15 minutes!– and Aranda—rockin’ tunes–, I pushed through and got several things done that have been calling my name for a while.  I think I’ve said it before, but it’s worth noting again…running a household takes a LOT of work!  Here’s a sample of what I accomplished
• • paid ALL the bills
  • paid and updated info on Pikepass
  • called ins. agent about roof inspection (we’ve had several of hail spells lately)
  • checked on rebate not yet received from Oct 08-will need to refax receipt
  • filed most papers in rudimentary filing box/”system”
  • hung up ALL clothes off of the floor/chair/chest/bed in my room
  • vacuumed my closet floor
  • called Cox Cable to make changes to service features and lower bill
  • mailed birthday cards for Feb and Mar birthdays
  • cleaned out my refrigerator (ew!)
  • scrubbed grout on bathroom counters (shiny!)
  • got oven fixed (ok, I did this last week, but wanted to mention it on my list of accomplishments anyway)
  • cleaned one of two dusty intake vents on the ceiling
  • paid a $4 outstanding dentist bill with a phone call
  • made donation to WaterIsLife.com (been talking about this since February)

Whew!  I’m sure I forgot to mention a few things—once I got going, there was no stopping me!    and THEN, Kevin and I did our Dave Ramsey, FPU homework–we created our zero based budget!  Whoa, that’s going to take some practice each month!

Now I have to work on a little planning ahead—full on meal planning people!—to avoid last minute grocery store runs!
