Getting Things Done Redux

August 10, 2008 · 5 comments

Sometimes if you put things out there in the universe things work out better…since I posted that, I have, with help, gotten the following things done:

In the front yard

  1. Re-mulch entire area

In the back yard

  1. Clean out under the deck
  2. Fix lattice under deck technically it was just moved, but looks way better!

In the house….holy crap….

  1. Remove wallpaper and paint half-bath
  2. Clean (or get new) blinds for kitchen (they are nasty!) This is actually 1/2 done – cleaned one set, but once we took them down we realized how much we like the big windows sans blinds…
  3. replace our bathroom blinds
  4. new blinds for Matt’s room (i broke his)

Now, it’s not a lot done, but it is a heckuva start.  I will be painting the bathroom this week sometime, hanging valances over the kitchen windows (which will work even if we put blinds back up), and will start working on kid closets since we have to start school clothes shopping!! EEK.

OH!  And I totally MADE a valance for the boys’ bathroom today.  Yes, I am awesome!  I will get pics soon and upload so you can see their totally hip new monkey bathroom. 🙂

Work tomorrow…blah.  Would rather stay home and work on the household tasks since I have a babysitter, but I do have responsibilities (WAIT, go back and reach that last part in your whiniest voice so you feel me.  There, that’s better.)

And hey, don’t forget to visit my blogroll on the side there —> some of the coolest, nicest, most awesomest writers/people are on that list (of course, there are some that aren’t on the list, so feel free to share your favorites or yourself in the comments!!)

Don’t you feel so satisfied just putting the line through those items?

I need to make myself a similar list!

I love crossing things off my list! Good job!

I just realized when you mentioned the blogroll that I haven’t updated mine in months. I will add you!

So how in the world do you do it? Do you have super powers to stop time or something? Seriously you put me to shame. To find out what I’ve been doing lately you’ve got to read my latest blog post… a site I created specifically for NH moms to connect, but it’s just getting off the ground. Check out my latest post, but be sure to browse around too 🙂 xoxox

I made a list of things I need to get done before The Deuce is born; there were 15 items on the list. Four of which I already done, but put on the list for the thrill of having crossed off items on the list.

You know, just so I don’t feel like such a list loser…..

Man that could be a whole blog post.

Wow! I am inspired by this! Am thinking I may have to do the same on my own blog… but my list would need to be waaay longer.

Kudos to you for attacking it!
