Yesterday we finished our major overhaul of the room we chose to attack during 1/2 term. There are still a few more things to sort though, and to be put back in their rightful place, but it feels so wonderful to be rid of anything we don’t need.
We recycled, donated, organized, made two bags of items to take to school that will live in the cupboard as still life objects, dusted, vacuumed, mopped and sat for a five minute break to catch our breaths.
We decided to have a big lunch yesterday since Mr. Michie had an online meeting last night. I made a fresh spinach and artichoke dip, with a couple of pieces of crusty bread and carrot and red pepper sticks to dip into it. It was wonderful.
We cheated and watched something while we ate, an episode of “Bunheads”. I will be sad when this show finishes for the season!
For dessert I had a chocolate chip cookie and it was actually smiling at me.
It reminded me of one of my all-time favorite “Bewitched” episodes, when Tabitha turns herself into an oatmeal raisin cookie and then smiles at her mom, with the raisins forming the smile, too cute! (It starts about 5 minutes in)
It must have been the day for things looking like other things to me, because I had a handful of popcorn last night and this piece looked like a little alien creature waving at me, I thought it looked cute and couldn’t eat it, but Mr. Michie grabbed it and ate it instead.

Oh that Mr. Michie….eating alien popcorn!
I LOVED Bewitched!! My oldest granddaughter’s middle name is Samantha! I always wished I could wiggle my nose like her!
It sounds like your cleaning day was pretty amazing! Isn’t that one of the greatest of feelings? And others prosper by it, too!!
Good for BOTH of you!!! Way to be a team!
