A while back, I read a blog entry about creating a chore chart. I thought it was GENIUS.
A fellow blogger had started one, and said her house was in a constant state of "clean"... LUST.
So I decided to utilize my Google Calendar and make a chore chart for myself. First I made a list of all the chores that I do weekly at my house, and broke them out into their own special day... I realized that each chore in its singular only *really* takes me like 15 minutes to do. Can I give my cute lil' house 15 minutes or so of time each day... I think so! Well rather.. I'd like to think so...
I'll start following the little chore chart this weekend (N. and I had to clean our WHOLE house last night because we have company coming over for dinner, and I like people to think our house is always in a state of cleaaaannn - it isn't, BTW). I'll let you know as I progress how it goes.. we will see.
There is one problem with the chore chart. I mentioned it to N. last night, and he pouted all night about it. While I made the chore chart mostly for me (the only little "chore" he does around the house is vacuum..), he did NOT like the idea of it. Holy crap - we discussed it ALL.FREAKIN'.NIGHT. Apparently he had a chore chart when he was a kid and HATED IT. I'm half tempted to make an actual chart on a posterboard, complete with shiny stickers for him just to watch his reaction. To say the least, he isn't thrilled.
I think the chart will be a great reminder to do things that I put off until I start to get nagged about them. Things like washing our sheets (I know, gross), filing all my paperwork, and ironing clothes. Knowing that I only have to do one or two tasks per day might really help this lazy unmotivated girl.
We shall see. Hopefully N. comes around - I don't want to have a sulky hubs, thats for sure.

Puczki
Seriously. I think I might be the ONLY Polish person at work today...
ITS FAT TUESDAY. Or as I like to refer to today... Puczki Day.
Does anyone else out there know what a puczki is?!?
I feel so alone... :)

Well it looked fun.. so why not test the waters?
You can find questions here if you want to do this yourself.
1. How did your parents decide on your name?
I think my mom always liked it - my two older brothers were going to be "Katie" too, if they were girls.
2. Do your initials (First, Middle, Last) spell out anything fun/funny?
KMW - nothin' good man.
3. Did you take your middle name from childhood or did you take your maiden name as your middle name? (If unmarried, what do you plan to do?)
I kept Marie, it is my Grandma's middle name. And I thought, why fix whats already broken. I didn't want to have to remember that I had a new middle name and a new last name... I'm sorta forgetful.
4. Are you or will you name your children thematically (ie. same first letter, all of same origin…)
Nope, I'll pick names because I like them, not because they fit into a theme.
5. Did you decide on baby names as a little girl? Did you stick to them or change your mind?
Hmmm.. I don't think I ever really thought about my baby's names as a kid. I did name every.toy.I.owned though.
6. Does your family have any names that have been passed down through generations?
Nope, not really. My middle name is my grandmother's middle name, and my older brother's middle names are my dad's first and middle name, but other than that... notta.
7. Do you look at the meaning of the name or just the name itself?
Hmmm.. for now, just the name, but I think I'll look up the meaning before I name a human.
8. Do you name pets with human names (Sally, Henry) or with pet names (Fluffy, Mr. Bo Bo)?
Human - we have a pup named Sasha.
9. Are there any names that you have an affinity or dislike for based on a childhood experience/someone you once knew?
Every name that reminds me of someone that I know or once knew, I tend to stay away from... no offense to anyone!
10. What are some of your favorite names? Why?
Hmm... Zacharie - It's Neil's middle name, and I like the way its spelled differently; Emma, Sadie, Elenor.

Mondays...
Do you ever just have a Monday where you are just unproductive?
So far today, I've attended one meeting, send paperwork out to a handful of people, managed to spill my vitamin water into my purse, all over my desk (it avoided my white sweater though!), and all over the floor.
Thats about it.
And I'm about to go home, make dinner, and continue my unproductive lifestyle.
Hoping tomorrow is more productive. I like my life better when I'm productive.
Thats all... :)
