Ixnay the Lanpay.

That's Pig Latin for "Nix the plan".

I had planned to work on the attic yesterday and today. I had planned to take a couple of hours off from work to take advantage of the unseasonably cool weather to work in the normally sauna-like attic. I had plans of grandeur.

Fast forward to yesterday. My husband had to unexpectedly, get this, practice taking over ships in the ocean leaving me as a single mom with no time. So, no attic. But, wait. It gets better! I had organized my work week/day today so that I could spend a couple of morning hours working up there....only to find that both of our cars had been broken into overnight. As a result, I spent the morning filing police reports, working with credit card companies, working with my company (because mine is a company car), etc. instead of working on the attic.

BUT, I did manage to make it up there for a few minutes today and grabbed some give-aways/donations/trash/garage sale items.
Behold my loot:
This pile includes, but is not limited to, a high chair, stuffed animals, a Christmas tree skirt, a tube TV, an inflatable headboard (probably my favorite item du jour), a pillow, and toys.

So despite setbacks, I was not totally defeated.

As I have said earlier, the attic will be my epic "10 Things" event. I am waiting to post before pics until I have successful after pics. This may not occur for many, many months!

I don't suspect there will be much attic action again tomorrow since my husband is once again taking over ships. But hey, someone has to do it, right?
