Mop Philosophy Monday

 Happy Monday, how have you been?
 Baking any chocolate chip muffins?  Me too.  These ones have loads of butter in them but if you're looking for a light version you can always substitute apple sauce for the butter in muffin recipes.
Let's face it though, they don't taste as good and The Rascals would be able to detect a dreaded "healthy" version from ten feet away.
 I bought a potted plant for the bathroom and so far so good.

Speaking of bathrooms, part of my spring-cleaning is cleaning all of the drains in the house.  Pour in baking soda, add an equal amount of vinegar and gaze upon a natural little scrubbing volcano.  Then pour in a big kettle of boiling water and voila, clean fresh drains.
 If we're going to talk about mundane tasks I might as well admit I've been up to my eyeballs in numbers and tax forms.  Year-end is over now, thank the heavens.
 The Big Pink Calculator was key to my survival.
As were strategically placed note pads scattered throughout the house.
 I don't normally buy much in the way of decor but I saw this brass turtle thing at Target and I was completely captivated.
Brass turtle thing from Target $15
 I like it beyond all reasonableness.  I keep flipping it open every time I walk by it.  It's just the right size for a box of matches and a wine opener.

The weather seems to be breaking and I had forgotten how much I enjoy early spring.
 The trees are bare, but full of promise.

Somebody else is also enjoying early spring:


Scout wants you to have an excellent week.  Also she wants to know, do you have any liver treats?

I'll be around this week, I've got a Colour Story up my sleeve.
