Life randomness

Today is sunshine, pure sunshine. I just came in from an hour or two out in the yard with Jack, cleaning up for springtime and sprucing up a little here, a little there. The log cribs went away; the Adirondacks came out. The grass is almost long enough to mow. And it is so so green! Aaah, fresh air and springtime is good for the soul.

I'm jumped on this a day late, but I'm goin' for it anyway, starting tomorrow: Renae's Detox Week. I love that it isn't crazy and is very comprehensive. Join up, pals! I eat pretty clean and healthy anyway so it doesn't even involve any extra groceries (which is good, but I went to Meijer and THEN read the post). Actually, I take that back: I have no almond or soy milk. But since I'm an official milk-hater, it's all good. (My medical records at my doctor's office say it officially: "Milk-Hater." My doc is a little quirky.)

I officially love doing laundry. I love sorting, loading, switching...and then it's so warm and smells so good afterward. And the best part is folding it all. Beautiful piles of white tee shirts, little piles of underpants and pink socks, kid-sized jeans with scuff marks on the knees...I just love being able to take care of these people in my home through all these neat piles of warm, clean clothes that God has blessed us with!

May is suddenly the new December - we have something going on every single weekend that month already, and I want to say No to it all (except for our anniversary and Jack's birthday, of course). Sigh.

  1. Wish I could echo your laundry sentiments, but I most definitely cannot. Folding I can get on board with, but putting the clothes away............? Oddly the hardest part to get motivated to do.

    :) Maybe the sunshine will help.

    1. Amy, drop your laundry off anytime - in exchange for homemade egg rolls! I still remember how yummy yours were. :)

  2. I love the happiness that's just oozing out of this post. Does my heart good. And I absolutely echo your sentiments on laundry -- it's probably my favorite chore. If only I could summon some positive feelings toward cleaning the toilet, though... :)

    1. But I would so much rather clean a toilet than a shower, for the simple reason that my toilet bowl cleaner smells good and is such a pretty, bright blue. :)

  3. This post makes me happy - it's like an awakening. And excellent JC quote! Also, I love how we get on the same wavelength sometimes even when we haven't recently talked...I've decided to detox, too! :)
