Well yesterday, before we introduced Jasmine to our home, I went shopping with mum. We bought a new cat carrier, some new cat toys and somehow ended up at IKEA, one of our favourite stores! :)
I ended up coming home with a pink CD case for our car, some hangers, a new bathmat, some much needed pegs (do anyone else's disappear?) and a few woven wood balls for the cats the play with since they were cents each. I also fell in love with the Liatorp range so I know what we'll be filling the house with when we get one. Mum calls in "New England style" but I'm not sure what that is - the furniture is just very... me. :)
It's already past 10:30 and I've got a ton more to do. I've got a roast on the stove (courtesy of Tammy's Recipes), I've done one load of laundry and I've still got to:
Wash the dishes
Clean the kitchen
Clean the bathroom
Tidy and clean the lounge room
Vacuum and dust
Clean the bedroom
Clean out the boxes in the study
Whew! Somehow I have to also keep the cats separated the entire time as well. *sigh* I'll report on how it goes.

Time Management
Oh how I need to learn some time management skills!
It's 2 am, I am very tired and yet I must stay up for another half an hour at least. This is what happens when you get distracted from your plans!
Earlier today when I found out we're actually having friends over for dinner tomorrow night/tonight I was excited because 1.) well I was looking forward to seeing them! and 2.) I could finally try out this cake that I have been looking for a reason to make! Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it until tonight after dinner in between the cleaning I had planned to do (Sean worked late) and didn't read the instructions carefully through (beware!) to check how long it would take to make. After a lot of noise, one dead electric beater and uncooked cheesecake everywhere it's finally resting before I put it in the fridge overnight. All things aside, the raw cake tastes delicious! :)
I have tried looking for some time management tips on the web but they all seem to be related to academic studies or business efficiency, which is fine, but what about us who don't work or study, and need help in the home. Surely I can't be the only one who's been in the above predicament?
