Daily Routine
What is the most tedious or boring part of your daily routine/job? What is the most creative?
I have mentioned in the past that I was raised in a Navy family, so our home was in “ship shape” most of the time. So, of course, I picked up some of those traits from my dad and I have to have my bed made every day!!!! I hate that job!! I don’t mind mopping the floor, but I hate to vacuum. I hate to cook, but I don’t mind cleaning up the kitchen!! I am constantly picking up stuff, picking up lint off the area rug. Moving this and that! I don’t like that I am a clean freak, but I think I would hate it even more if I wasn’t one.
I guess my most creative part would be my butterfly garden in the back yard. Our back yard extends about 10 feet from our lanai before you are in the neighbors yard, so I don’t have much room to work. Our homes are very close here, which is good in a retirement community because you sure don’t want a large yard to take care of in your aging years. I have been working on this garden for a couple of years now and love to sit on the lanai and watch them flutter around all the different flowers. I also have bird feeders back there and now have quite a few birds that visit like to visit them. I am still trying to get hummingbirds, but they aren’t wanting to cooperate at this time.
I think one of my most creative things around my home is that I love to take old pictures and movies and make DVD’s with them. I have seen too many homes destroyed around here because of tornadoes and hurricanes and in a blink of an eye, all those precious memories are gone and can’t be replaced. My husband and I worked on one project together where we took all my dad’s, my brother’s, my father-in-law’s and my husbands military pictures, medals and patches and made a collage with them. We also took all my husbands fire department medals, patches and pictures and did the same with them. So we now have a wonderful Wall of Honor in our home.
Can you tell I like to talk a lot??
I hate doing housework at all (cooking, washing dishes, folding clothes etc.)I would love to see your butterfly garden! It sounds lovely!
Your garden does sound lovely! I love working outside, it’s usually so relaxing. I think your military expereince might help us get our morning routine in order. Come to Ohio!
Hi Tammy,

I could picture your garden – how lovely! And since you like things clean and tidy, glad you cannot see my house right now, it’s a disaster area because I’ve worked 4 days this week. Clean is good!!!!
You can come clean my kitchen and I’ll do the cooking, LOL. I’ll bet the butterfly garden is just gorgeous. All the schools around here have one and I love to stop and look at the Princess’ school garden when I go to pick her up.
