Worky Work! So good!

Leave a comment

Well, if you read my previous post about work then you are well aware of the fact that I dropped the ball on inventory yesterday. I was sick, it couldn’t be helped, but I was seriously stressed. Today went much better.

I got Inventory done in an hour and a half. All time record for myself.
Did managers meeting
Got my lunch in
Conference call was.. nonexistant. The woman who was running it was a substitute for our FM and she apparently doesn’t know how to set up a conference call. It’s okay though, my numbers are available for next week.
Cleaned, Stocked, and Organized the backroom.

I feel exceptionally productive right now. I’m going to go do some laundry, color my hair, then work on the Poquito Casa some more. It’s going to be a great day.

Project: Poquito Casa Day #1

Leave a comment

Well, I had a rough start and some set backs but I am finished with day 1 of the Poquito Casa project. I got so much stuff cleaned.. though I haven’t necessarily found where I’m going to put the stuff that was inside of the trailer. Namely my saddle and tack. I scrubbed the floors, ceiling and everything in between. At least 2/3rds of the trailer.

Because I got started so late I didn’t realize I would run out of light by 4pm. I have power in there, but it’s not really illuminated enough for me to be sure I’m cleaning everything properly. Plus I want to do a second round on the table and benches. I might have to get some upholstery cleaner. My dad thinks he has some.

I also need to scrub the ice box and oven with some fine steel wool and carwax. I already tested a spot and it gets rid of the stains that my BrightGreen and Bleach wouldn’t do.

I have no blinds, no curtains, nothing on the windows. I’m kind of concerned about that. There are five sets of windows in that thing, of all different sizes, and half of the windows don’t have curtain rods.  Now, if I had a sewing machine, I wouldn’t be freaking out. I have enough random clothes/material/pillow cases I could just sew up some nice curtains. But I DON’T. So. Any make-shift recommendations?

Things for Part Deux:

  1. Push Pins
  2. Tiny mirrors in different shapes

My First Montage
..ever. So don’t hate.

Set backs

Leave a comment

Okay so I’ve had a few minor set backs. The first one being that I didn’t put the spider bomb off until 8:30 this morning (instead of last night), because I got home super late and it was really dark and I couldn’t see to get over there.  I still need to buy yard lights.

The second one is I somehow have managed to lose my camera battery charger. Now what this means is I can either A) use my camera until it’s battery dies which I don’t think will capture EVERYTHING I want/need anyway.. then try to find the charger. or B) Save my battery life for my friends birthday party on friday.

I think I’m just going to use it until it dies. the charger has to be RIGHT HERE. somewhere. :s

It’s probably right in front of me.
