Two goals completed!

I did it. I actually completed two goals! Goals #49 and #50. 49 was: To rearrange my livingroom. I wanted to do this to shake things up a bit. I can't go out and buy new furniture right now but I wanted to see something new. I think I like the new look. It will be better when I take my Christmas tree down. Then I'll be able to see the TV from either side of the couch, but I do think I like the look. There's a recliner in my livingroom that I can't wait to get rid of. It's my ex's and besides my couch, it's the only other funiture in there that you can sit on, so it stays for now, but he doesn't want it, won't take it, so I'm stuck with it. I think I'm setting myself an unofficial goal to get rid of this chair and replace it with a new one by the end of this year.
#50 was to clean out my video cabinet. I had videos and DVDs in the TV cabinet, on the TV cabinet, around the TV cabinet, in video boxes, in the other room, everywhere. Who needs all that and what 12 yr old still needs Power Ranger videos? Blech!! So, out of there they went. Now, being that I'm into donating things, I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. I could give them to my library to add to their collection, but they only collect on certain days (love living in a small town, right?), or I could give them to good will. Either way, they aren't in the cabinet anymore, so YAAAAAAAHHHHH ME!!!!!!!! There is hope for me yet.

By the way, on the whole house cleaning goal...I think I've cleaned my livingroom about 7 times in 6 days. I can't stand it! Every time I clean it and then leave to do something else, I come back and there's stuff on the floor again, sneakers in the middle of the floor, a candy wrapper on the couch, a video on the window...does it ever end? Not with a 12 yr old I guess...

Our living room is the same way - and we're 29 & 31. Maybe I'll blame Spike. Actually a lot of the time it is his fault b/c he tears his toys up and there is stuffing all over the place. Cleaning. Blah.

Congrats on finishing your two goals! I think I need to go over my list today!!
