So impressed with your cleaning schedule- I don’t do that, but i should. Do you REALLY clean your closet every week? I clean mine once or twice a year when half of it goes to GoodWill! And as luck would have it, in full irony, TODAY is that day. Can you tell that I’m procrastinating?

Oh, and the cactus/aloe? I, too have a black thumb. I killed a bunch of cacti about a month ago, but Lowes took them back- yay! :-D

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

That breakfast cookie looks tasty! :)

I don’t organize household shores. I’ll be honest, I’m not the best housekeeper. I usually do a once a week overhaul, everything at once, and then fight with my husband the rest of the week over who is doing dishes/vacuuming. LOL

Oh goodness..I really wish I could help with the plant thing, but…urm…i’m the same exact way! I kill everything, it’s awful! haha

Salted chocolate? That sounds wonderful! I always top my dark chocolate with salted peanut butter, because I love the sweet/salty combo. I had no idea that you could buy dark chocolate pre-salted. Mmm… :D

Oh, and thanks for letting me know about cashew butter and dates. I’ve yet to try cashew butter, but it sounds wonderful, so I think that will be my next monetary “splurge” when I go to trader joes. :D Thanks!

Wish I could help you out with the plants but I can’t keep anything alive either :(
I feel the same wa about coffee! I have recently switched to black after ditching Splenda. It’s been a few weeks and I am FINALLY getting used to it. I still prefer it pimped out with Splenda and CoffeeMate, though ;)

Janetha, I totally got lazy on the workout thing :P It was pretty standard anyways. I’ll switch it up next time so it’s more exciting ;)

Hey Anne! Click on “create” under the “my calendars” tab on the left hand side. I have calendars for each activity (like workouts, work, etc) and you can choose their colours from there.

Thank you Lori!! I knew you would come to the rescue! :D I think I killed my old cactus by over-watering, it started growing white fuzzies :\

K – It helps if you buy high quality coffee! :P I usually have to add milk or sweetener to cheaper coffees because they’re too bitter for me. But a good medium-dark roast brewed well is sweet enough on its own :)

I save the bigger chores liked bathroom cleaning for my days off work. But, I multi-task with other things. I vacuem while Snuffy is eating dinner in her high chair or she gets out her toy vacuem and “helps”, I do laundry every night, I unload and reload the dishwasher while I cook, I am actually teaching Snuffy to dust with a swiffer, she thinks it’s fun and once she gets the hang of it, I won’t have to do it anymore!
