Dusty bunnies

Although it's the 8th day of January, it felt like spring to me...well, not temperature-wise, but in the aspect of spring cleaning :) Do you ever just get to that point where the dust bunnies are multiplying faster than real bunnies? I think I had an entire dust bunny colony...actually, it's cat fur, but even still - it was taking over!


After vacuuming & decluttering the living room, cleaning the kitchen, sweeping the kitchen & dining room floors, shredding the receipts, filing the bills & decluttering the office I decided that I deserved a little (or a big 'ole) treat! This decision also allowed me to use the spiffy little fryer I purchased last weekend. So I treated myself to fried zucchini & coconut shrimp with coconut pineapple dipping sauce...can I tell you that it was most fabulous?!?! Dare I say, this coconut shrimp may even rival the same dish from Red Lobster!

Although my work is not quite complete, the bed & bath are on the schedule for tomorrow, but over 1/2 of the apartment is quite spic & span and that makes me unbelievably happy. I have yet to take down my sweet little Christmas tree since I love seeing the lights each night. I suppose it may be defrocked tomorrow & put back to rest for another 10 months or so...but I still have not fully decided on that.

I am thrilled to report that my One Word 2011 - speak - is still changing my life one day at a time. Watching my tongue & guarding my lips is getting easier & easier - which is amazing to me :) God is so faithful to us when we are faithful to Him...all it takes is one decision & He will honor it.

This year is not only about cleaning up & clearing out my home, it is also happening in my heart - focusing on organizing my priorities & clearing out the dust bunnies of complacency. 2011 will be my greatest year yet!
