Oranization, hot flashes and productivity

Bet that got your attention. LOL
 
So, since I cannot scrape any paint until Sunday (tomorrow), I decided to do some organizing this morning. Cleaning my room was the main thing on the agenda today. So, I was up at 6:30 am so I could fit in some blog reading.
(By the way, I have two favorite new blogs to read)
Warning you though, they are addicting. I read City Girls blog, the ENTIRE BLOG, in one week.
 
Anyways, I read a few blogs, ate breakfast and got started. I put away a few things in my room, emptied about 20 bags from Michaels Crafts, Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's Fabrics... as I am a scrapbook and journaling addict that loves buying stickers, paper and other fun stuff, like every weekend. The thing is, I have a scrapbook room, so I had to go put the stuff in there, but it was a mess. So, I had to organize all my paper goodies.
 
Then, before long, I was having a hot flash as my house was 85 degrees inside by 8 am. Plus, I'm pre-menopausal (50 next year!).... Seriously thought I was going to pass out. I opened up every window in the house that can open. Which brings me to the next thing I did today.
 
My scrapbook room has 3 windows, and they are ALL painted shut. This is my biggest pet peeve when it comes to houses. Seriously, why do people do that?! Three windows in one room won't open! So, I got out the little window scraper knife and unsuccessfully tried to 'cut' the paint in the lines. Have you ever tried this? It's not easy.
 

I did not want to damage the wood, so did something I vowed never ever to do.... used the heat gun to try and get the paint unstuck. Went all the way around the window. Still would not budge.
 
So, then I got smart and used a putty knife with and a hammer. Praying the entire time that my hammer would not slip and break my wavy glass window. (It happened in my bedroom when I was getting the paint off the window sill).
 

It worked!! I now have one working window in this room!
Woohooo!
 

Look how nasty that is... yuck.

 
And.... I got my scrapbook stuff all organized without having another hot flash.
 

 
Guess what, my room is still a horrible, unorganized mess and I don't feel like cleaning any more. LOL
