I do keep an ongoing to-do list, but it is a fluid list with no designated days or times to get things done. This week I am making a concerted effort to put my plans to writing with more intent. (This is so against my nature)

That's quite an ambitious list, but what caught my eye was "Create something". What do you have planned for that?
ReplyDeleteI honestly have no idea, but I have a set of charcoals that I am itching to play with. I figure I might draw something. I need some "primitive" artwork for the lake place and have no budget for it, at least I will make an attempt.
DeleteGreat list and meal plan! I try to make lists for meals and things to do but I always regard them loosely. I find that our lives and days can change from minute to minute so I try to stay flexible and allow for things not getting done. When I do make a list and am able to cross everything completely off I feel such a huge sense of accomplishment. :) Your meals sound delicious, by the way!
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't have the changes parents with young kids have, things still happen that change my days. That is why I always keep my ongoing list fluid. Plus there are just days I do not want to do anything but read, and now that the kids are grown I indulge that habit sometimes. I am truly trying to stick to the things and days listed this week.
DeleteI live by the list but I would forget to do so much and then things would go astray and I would have a freakout. So in order to be calm, I have a list. I may also have some issues. You have probably already figured that out. Plus I am a bad cook so I have to try and have something to go for the week or again I flip/stress out.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky that you are packing winter stuff up, it snowed here yesterday. YUCK.
Issues are what make most of us fun! I am pretty sure everyone in my realm has issues of some kind or another, or I probably wouldn't like them. (Well except me who has no issues if you disregard acute claustrophobia, aversion to feet, beets, bananas, and liver, synesthesia, an intense Southern drawl, and occasional smart ass tendencies.)
DeleteYou don't like feet either?! I didn't think anyone else had that issue but me- Ha! :)
DeleteI love baby feet and toddler feet and can even tolerate them until about 4 year old feet. After that I don't want them touching me and I don't want anyone touching mine. I am so funny about feet once my shoe fell off and my foot touched the floor at Walmart. I used my cart and hopped on one foot to the sock rack to buy a pair of socks to put on before I could put my foot back in my shoe. I also wear 2 pairs of socks when going through airport security. As soon as I am through security I take off the outer socks before I put my shoe back on, then I throw the outer pair away. (I save all the socks with no mates for this very reason) The rational part of me knows this is not normal, but my feet don't get the message.
