work-it wednesday - 5 minute challenge

[monkeylicious]

i need this... especially since evie seems to be feeling better

so, are you familiar with this? we see this thread in new posts/new replies and get up, set timer for 5 minutes, and do some housework. when you are done with your 5 minutes come tell us what you did! do this every time you see it pop up... unless of course you are nak or purposefully ignoring the thread ;) you can start with a list and cross off if you like... that's what some prefer :rockon just keep this thread going to keep me busy!
