Dear Me > Hello February

Goodbye January, Hello February!!!  If January is "GO" month I'm starting February off as "GE" month as in GOOD ENOUGH.  In honor of "GE" month I'm publishing a post I wrote in January but never published.  So here it is:

I don't know how you people do it!!  Who are the "you people" I'm talking about?  I'm talking about the you who work whether it is outside the home or inside the home taking care of kids, pets, house, husband, and possibly your own parents.

As Katherine Hepburn said, "Life is hard. After all, it kills you."  I'm dragging my butt around and I don't think I can do anymore but yet there is so much more to do.    

Things I took care of:

• Fixed my facebook app on my phone (it seemed to be in revolt) which ended up with me updating my system, backing up my phone to the "Cloud" (which I for some reason want to call "The Clown" and oh I'm almost out of space already so, I will now go back to backing up to my computer).
• Wrote my thank you notes for my Christmas gifts so I could use them and/or put them away (I have a thing about keeping my gifts together and not using them till I write my thank you's).  Hello, Starbucks card!
• Oh and since I was mailing thankyou's why not mail my Christmas cards too! (I write a letter every year to include in my mom's Christmas card, which she of course mailed out in December.  Usually I take the same basic letter and tweak it a little for my Christmas cards - but not this year.  I sent the original letter out in January saying Merry Christmas.)
• Got on Facebook on my computer - which I never do, so I could Like "Smarty Had A Party" site (Which I looove!!) while talking to the Future Mrs 2Wicked so that she could get a discount on her order.  Did you know the site that is on your computer looks different than the Facebook App on your smart phone?  FM2W had to tell me what the green dot meant after your friend's name.  She didn't know what the symbol that looks like a battery symbol meant.  Can anyone tell me what that is? 
• Went to my Mom's and took down her Christmas decorations, put them away, and then put up her Valentine's decorations.  Took a sauna bath over there, as her house is very warm and I was dressed in normal winter clothes -- going over in my bikini next time even if it's 27 degrees out.
• Watched a movie with my husband - yeah that's right we try to do stuff together.  FYI - sometimes I watch movies with him and I'm rubbing my hands together thinking "Oh yeah, a little 90 minute nap." - but Warrior was really good and I watched the whole movie.
• Cleaned out that drawer underneath my oven.  Before I say it, I want everyone to note that I cook dinner probably 25 nights out of 30 and I entertain a lot -- okay here it goes.  It was really. Really. Gross. (Insert gagging sound here.) But it's done and I probably won't do it for another thirty three years.

Update:  I found out that Facebook symbol that looks like a battery is an Iphone symbol or maybe just a smartphone.


So ladies, relax and cut yourself some slack because it's officially "Good Enough" month at Chaos and Gloss!
