Happy Tuesday Everyone! it's overcast and cloudy here this morning but it's going to be warm and a chance of showers. Looks like we might still get a few warm days before the cooler temperatures arrive.
Today I've got a few little things to do but nothing really big or time consuming.
Bought a cordless box cutter from Amazon that looked like it would be so easy to cut up boxes rather than trying to rip them all up by hand to recycle. Well, first try and it certainly wasn't easy as the video looked and both my daughter and I felt it was hard to hold and difficult to cut through the cardboard. So, we decided to send it back so I have to print out the return label, repackage it and get it ready to send back. Have to say that Amazon is really good about taking back returns.
Sold a skein of yarn that I had listed so I'll package that up to send along with the Amazon return.
With the money I'm getting back figure I'll spend it at Bath & Body Works and order the soaps I have in my cart. One thing I'm anxious to try is the salted butterscotch vanilla plug-in room air freshener. I'm so intrigued by scents and this sounds good.
With the rearranging of the furniture over the weekend I'm in the fall cleaning mode now. Since my desk in now in the dining room I really need to go through the drawers and sort through all the stuff. When it was in the living room it seemed to be a catch-all for everything and then I would just push stuff in the drawers to just get rid of the mess. So far I have a bunch of really old bills to shred and who knows what else I'll find.
Tonight we're having good old chicken for dinner with baked potatoes and a veggie.
That's my exciting day in a nutshell. What are you doing today?

@Marilynda1225 My BIL has one room which he calls the Holy Sh*t room. He says whenever his adult children go in there, they say Holy Sh*t.

This box cutter looked like it would zip through the cardboard with ease. Nope it was hard to hold and not easy to push.
I'm always looking for different ways to make chicken. It gets boring after awhile.

@Marilynda1225 - I remember that I had an old good housekeeping with 70 different recipes to make chicken, I wonder if I saved it or if it's gone.

@LadyDuck it sounds like something you might have saved. I have a recipe box with tons of old recipes cut out of magazines. Fun times

Returning stuff here is easy as we do not have the hassle of getting a return label or even to repack it

I'm sorry about the box cutter. Every flat surface turns into a spot for "stuff" doesn't it? Tomorrow I go to the lawyer to get my will redone.

Yup every flat surface does turn into the spot for clutter. I'm trying to eliminate the need to just put stuff wherever. Once again I have to say "I have too much stuff"

Our table is the catch all area. That does help me keep things sorted some as I get tired of looking at it
