Cyd, there are advantages to having a muddled pantry without labels. It means that it is harder for DH to raid! LOL

Abundance
WELCOME BACK! I love the chandelier from the trees, and the lights on the trees. Sounds like a great back yard. Just take one thing at a time now, so you don't get frustrated.

Cyd:
I can mess up my pantry without anyone else going into it!
I try and keep the alikes together and have sections for each type of foods. The previous owner took a small coat closet and put in shelves, so I use that as my pantry, with the exception of the baking items in the kitchen by my baking center, but the excess baking items are in the pantry.

Abundance, welcome back!

*********
Goal update:

Personal:
- Make my health a priority (set up medical appts.) - scheduled eye exams for both DD and I, and a dental appt. for myself (broke a tooth on Sunday p.m.)

Welcome back Abundance!

carol too cool on the presentation you will be giving! You will do great, and do leave in the call, saying it is emotional support and idea sharing.

As far as pantry, I have mine organized except for the bottom shelf which is the backup of thing I use often or things SO doesn't generally use, like ready made spaghetti sauce. I pull things out as needed as keep that as is..


Goal for FEb is simple, continue on the progress in the office as I have been diligent in there since begining of the year and it is finally starting to show.
Tweak the binder for all expenses and get SO involved in a at least twice a month review so he is "kept informed" (even though he says he is okay with what I am doing)
work with SO on his clothing piles in the basement so we can get rid of the excess stuff.
Review my donate piles and document everythign so it can be tossed once and for all(tossed as in to st Vincent or whoever)
Review again all our clothes to see if we can add to those piles.

Get ready for warmer weather so the garage can be cleared and organzied as we both want it to be now that 2 of us are here ....

Ouch Bless, hope your tooth isn't hurting too much.

I need to do an eye appointment too.
Thanks for the reminder.

BL:
You are doing great in keeping up with the office progress.
I am not doing as good as you with the basement, but it is looking much better than before each time I go down there.

Ahh, the garage. Been doing a little here and there on the warmer days, but nothing too great!

Achieved a babystep in DS's old room yesterday, by tidying the sewing desk drawers and the sewing basket.

I also need to schedule myself an eye appointment. DD is anxiously awaiting me getting my eyes checked because she's getting frightened when I drive. I wear glasses for reading so it's highly probable that I'm going to need a new prescription and be instructed to wear them more often.
