Morning's Light

Here's my niece, Mimo, before her first day of school.  Apparently half-day kindergarten is not as fun as whole-day kindergarten because in the afternoon there's Art! and Computer! and "other good stuff!!" according to Mimosa.  I have to say…she's a cute kindergärtner, isn't she?! 

miss minimalist: no, I have not changed my name…but Francine at Miss Minimalist asked me if she could put my closet makeover on her blog..and she has.  You can read about it here and it refers you to my other blog.

the holiday weekend is almost here (in the U.S.).  What will you be doing with your extra long weekend?

I'm taking an extra day so will be on a mini-vacation from Saturday through Tuesday. Planning to see the new Drew Barrymore movie, clean some spots* out of the carpet with my new "rubba scrubba" tool from flylady, read, watch the first season of Leverage and visit family.  

*This is not an ad for the rubba scrubba, but I have some stubborn spots in the beige carpeting I can't get out..and I'm a renter!  I need to get the spots out if I ever plan to move out!  So I got the rubba scrubba in the mail, bought some carpet cleaner at the dollar store, and the combo is getting out every spot!  I have to use some elbow grease of course but the work is worth it.  The carpeting looks so much better.  Am working on it 15 minutes at a time because as flylady says, "You can do anything for fifteen minutes!"
