Well...  I have been plugging away and noticed that I only need 232 points to cash out at $50. This will be my second $50 for the year.  I am kind of behind...because I used to do $50 a month... but I have been spending so much time on here, neglecting my other duties that I felt I needed to focus more on those things.  The wash doesn't get done.  The house doesn't get cleaned unless I do it.  No one will do it for me and I am a neat freak.  So I have been miserable!  

Heck...I still have Christmas decorations to take down.  I finally got around to taking the Christmas tree down today.  LOL  I am almost finished!  LOL  Now...I never plugged the tree lights in any more. I just let it sit there and I have gotten tired of looking at it!  LOL  I also have other decorations to take down.  In fact...it was such a bear to get my lights strung around the edges of my roof outside the house this past year that I have decided to keep the lights up!   LOL  I have never done that in my life!  I figure if no one complains and we don't face a hurricane this coming season...I will leave them up and that will be one less thing to do next Christmas!  LOL  

However...as for the decorations in the house...they're all coming down.  I usually have everything down by the first or second week of January.  But this year...I haven't felt like touching it!  LOL  I think that this is the second time in my entire life that the Christmas tree stayed up until March.  The last time was back in the mid 80's and I think I left if up until April!   LOL

Well...I need to get back and finish taking down my tree...  LOL

I just took down my Christmas wreaths today. Last weekend we put all the tree stuff away. It was all just sitting there in a pile. Don't feel so bad! =)

Yep, Gather sure can do that.....I know the feeling........it seems like nothing gets done around the house when I'm on Gather, and I've gotten so far behind so am having to force myself to put a limit on the time I spend on here.......my family does not appreciate Gather one bit.....LOL! It does help a lot, though, to put a limit on time spent on here......I'm actually getting spring housecleaning done around here, and it feels sooo good!!!!

We didn't get our tree up as we all had the flu.
Heather C. Mar 7, 2009, 5:40pm EST
I am trying to put more time into Gather myself.
Heather C. Mar 7, 2009, 5:41pm EST
I'm getting close to a $25 gift certificate.
Heather C. Mar 7, 2009, 5:41pm EST
I hope you get all the points you need soon.
Heather C. Mar 7, 2009, 5:41pm EST
I imagine as the weather gets better people will spend less time here.
Heather C. Mar 7, 2009, 5:42pm EST
The nice weather always draws one outdoors.
Heather C. Mar 7, 2009, 5:42pm EST
Tomorrow we plan to go down by our sailboat if it is a nice day.
Heather C. Mar 7, 2009, 5:43pm EST
It will be the first time in months that I will have gone on it, as I had surgery in January and and 8 inch scar on my stomach.
Heather C. Mar 7, 2009, 5:43pm EST
I hope you get more points and I hope you have a good weekend.
Heather C. Mar 7, 2009, 5:44pm EST
By the way, unless it is a game, it is against the rules to leave several one word comments - thus I write full sentences. :)

Good luck reaching your goal. My tree finally came down about 3 weeks ago. Now I don't feel so bad. LOL
