Meg's room
Some shots of the so-called progress in Meg's room.
This was the *progress* on Friday evening.
Around 1:30pm Saturday. Being Scooby Doo apparently helps the process.
And at 3:00pm Saturday. Sidetracked by playing with the toys is a recurring theme.
Meg is proud of her hard work!
More progress 4:30pm. Getting sidetracked to chat with your sister can be fun. Why be a slavedriver? I'm letting them hang out for a bit.
And they stopped at 5:30pm for the night. Ack, Meg still has to move the junk off the bed, or she'll have to sleep on her sister's upper bunk tonight.
Sunday afternoon. Still have to clean under the bed, where they hid a lot of stuff yesterday. Gotta love the overhanging quilt, it hides a multitude of sins.
And we're DONE!!!
I even pulled the bed out, vacuumed under it and febreezed the whole carpet. Some of the ink stains are just never gonna come out of that carpet. Not all were her fault, of course... it used to be hubby's office, when he was doing graphic design, more than one ink spill happened during the wee hours.

Tackling the Guest Room!
Okay, so it's Saturday, t minus 56 hours.
I'm about to dive into the guest room. I start the clock at noon. Will work in 30 minute increments, taking 5-10 minutes to hang with the kids, and to play online as motivation.
Guest room at 11:45am Saturday. Next update scheduled for 12:30pm.
Guest room in progress at 12:30pm Saturday. Quick break, find timer, refresh soda. Next break, feed self and children.
Guest room stuff transitioned on its way to final destination.
Argh, the break ran on a bit longer, because, well, it's just so much fun to play with my girls. At 1:55, headed to take a progress shot of Meg's room, both girls are going to work on it for an hour. I'm headed back into the guest room.
The upside to this process is that I'm finding some stuff to sell on eBay. Pink Polka Dot Poodle Project Purge!
Here is the other side of the room, at around 1:30pm.
And at 2:30!
Now, to tackle this section... starting at 3:15 ish. I need a bit of a break, just to regroup.
4:30 pm Saturday...
This side of the room is DONE. Okay, still need to vacuum, but I dusted all the stuff, and organized the bookcase a bit. Moved photos around also, to make a nicer arrangement.
You can see my cat's white belly under the chair. She loves this room, but it has been closed for several months, since the reorg started. Tux is the fattest cat I've ever seen.
This is the other side before shot...
And after.
Okay... 4:30 has rolled around. Note to self... need to adjust guest room clocks to reflect daylight savings time change...
Some humor for those of you who have been following the Pink Polka Dot Poodle Purge Purgatory Performance Art.
Errrr... and the reality of the situation. As good as the room looks, the stuff is only in transition... I still have miles to go before I sleep.

Front page Dad and Granddads gift ideas posters
I always miss the best treasuries.
So, I thought I'd do my PIF for the weekend. I will be taking screenshots of the front page, as often as I catch them changing, throughout the weekend.
If you made it, congratulations. I hope if you make it, you don't miss it. If you did, I hope I caught it, so that you could see
Here's the first, by knots.
Captured at 10:30 am Saturday ... A lovely selection, done by yaelfran
Captured at 11:30am Saturday ... Really beautiful picks by girlsavage.

Family room
Starting the clock at 5:10pm.
My goal is to finish in less than one hour!
On my mark, get set, GO!
6:05pm Done! I knew I could do it.
Family room clutter picked up. Not all put where it belongs yet, but I'll do it before bedtime.
Dusted surfaces, vacuumed surfaces, picture frames, top of armoire, stereo equipment, vacuumed floor, vacuumed sofas.
Looks like it usually does, when I'm not stressed out. :-)
Weird, the paintings pop way more in photographs than they do IRL. I may have to reshoot this one. One of my favorite watercolor artists. She does amazing work, IMHO.
