The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.

Housekeeping Tips
Tomorrow I will do the housework, NO EXCUSES!!! (unless they're good ones)1. It is time to clean out the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside.
2. If it walks out of your refrigerator, let it go!
3. The best mini-vac for an after meal clean up is the dog.
4. Keep it clean enough for healthy, dirty enough for happy.
5. Never make fried chicken in the nude.
6. Do not engage in unarmed combat with a dust bunny big enough to choke the vacuum cleaner.
7. You make the beds, you do the dishes, and six months later you have to start all over again.
8. If guys were suppose to hang clothes up, door knobs would be bigger.
9. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
10. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
11. Simplify... hire a maid.
12: My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being Hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.
13. I'm not going to vacuum until someone makes one you can ride on.
14. I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.
15. Cobwebs artfully draped over lampshades reduce the glare from the bulb, thereby creating a romantic atmosphere. If your husband points out that the light fixtures need dusting, simply look affronted and exclaim, "What? And spoil the mood?"
16. When writing your name in the dust on the table, omit the date.
17. If dusting is REALLY out of control, simply place a showy urn on the coffee table and insist that "THIS is where Grandma wanted us to scatter her ashes..."

Good morning everyboomie.
It has been really cold here for two days.
I found that quote very appropriate though. Today I threw a snowball at my neighbor, what fun.
It was actually just a ball of mud and rock though, because we have no snow.
My neighbor was really angry.
No Christmas spirit at all.
I was very sluggish today because it was 11 degrees when I got up, and we were slated to get up to only 36 degrees.
I managed to get around and do my exercising, and after I finally got my breathing back to normal I started getting bundled up to go out. I still didn't want to go out, but my dogs were doing back flips, so at about 23 degrees, we went to the park. We had very bright sunshine today, and like I said, I was bundled up, and there was no wind, so it wasn't too bad.
Besides, I can't complain seeing what type of temperatures Ana, and Nan, and Midge, and some others go out in.
After we got back, I vacuumed the whole house, and did laundry, so my day was busy enough.
I hope you all have a very happy day today.
