Can't sleep

Guess it's just one of those nights when I can't sleep. Maybe it's the caffeine I had today (I've been so good - not drinking any sodapop - for almost a month). It was nice to listen to conference today and be a part of the solemn assembly. I don't remember that part when Pres. Hinkley was put in...

We attempted at getting some of our unfinished projects done today but didn't get very far. We still have to finish putting the baseboards and quarter-rounds around our new wood floor. And I've started to empty out my pantry so I can take out the carpet (whoever thought of putting carpet in a pantry is beyond me) and put in some laminate tiles. Then I need to put up braces for the shelving that is already in there but sagging a bit. I'm hoping to get rid of some of the things I've collected but never use. Side note: I love freecycle.org! They help me get rid of things I don't want and someone else gets my hidden treasures.

I was able to de-clutter my closet this week and got rid of a garbage sack full of clothes I never wear. I don't dare touch Ken's clothes though cuz I don't know what he likes. He did get rid of some of his t-shirt collection.

Just found out today that our neighbors to the rear of our house will be getting rid of some of their huge trees! Wahoo!! I've loved the shade but hate the leaves in the fall and the "seedlings" in the spring! They are looking at selling their house and land and are getting it prepared for the sale. There have been talks that they want to sell it commercially but we're hoping that won't be the case.

I'd better try to make a go at the sleep thing again....I'll be worn out tomorrow and sleep during conference if I don't get some now. Hope all is well with you and yours!

Do you know who removed the trees for your neighbors? We have the same tree behind us and want to get rid of it.
