My big accomplishment for the day? I cleaned out my yahoo inbox.
I know it doesn't seem like much, but we're talking over 700 messages not even counting the bulk mail folder!
I've had that email address for at least 5 years & it is the one I use when signing up for stuff online or for entering contests, so it gets put on a lot of mailing lists. Most of them that get into the inbox I can tell where they are from. I enter a contest & then I start getting newsletters from that company. But after so long it had started to get kind of out of control.
So I went through, deleted most everything. Looked at the other stuff that might have been important. Deleted most of that too. Actually finally made a folder to store things like password emails & product registration emails. Damn. It's done. Now I just have to check it daily for a while and start unsubscribing as stuff comes in so that it doesn't overwhelm again...
Also, I bought paint today to paint the stairwell. Instead of a lovely shade of mint green, the stairwell to the basement will be Moonlit Yellow!
And my dad came over today and hooked up the stove to the gas line so frozendragon can cook downstairs now instead of having to haul stuff upstairs.

The moonlit yellow sounds like a lovely introduction to the mint green. ;) You remind me that I really need to get a printer hooked up to my computer again one of these days. I like to print a certain amount of correspondence, just so written history is not blown to the digital winds, and I have a butt load of emails waiting.

Be sure to post pics of the paint jobs! I love those two colors: how sunny and fresh. Tres moderne!

Noooo! The mint green is getting covered up! I used to like mint green. Then I bought a house that had a mint green bathroom in the basement. And a mint green bedroom in the basement, but it was just a bit different of a mint green. And a mint green stairwell, that was a different mint green than the other two rooms. And the fireplace in the basement? The bricks were painted green. A bright Kelly Inn kinda green. And in the bedroom the shelves were also painted that bright green. And the curtains were a nasty olive green.
Our ongoing quest has therefore been to remove all green from the house! So yes, Moonlit Yellow is sunny & fresh! But mint green is EVIL!
I haven't decided on a color for the stairs themselves yet. I'm kind of leaning toward Infinity And Beyond Blue.
