To Do Lists, the results
Greg mentioned the other day that I usually post my to do lists but you never hear what the end results are. So he says you all think that I magically finish these to do lists. And yes I usually do, eventually. Although eventually may be a month from now. Or a year. Or I procrastinate an item for so long that it doesn't need to be done anymore (shh, that's a secret!). In all fairness to you so you don't get some mistaken impression that I am Wonder Woman (the outfit's colors don't work well with my skin tone, sorry!), here are the results of two recent to do lists:

Random other stuff: Potty train Kelly. doing really, really well! Update all the pages on this website and create the scrapbook gallery of all the kids' layouts. started but not finished Volunteer as much as possible at the kids' school and PTO. doing well. I wrote this before becoming the Brownie Girl Scout leader Organize and print nice copies of all my recipes to put in a binder. started Get into a healthy eating and exercise routine. still working on it, I bought new running shoes! Read one book a month. does "Green Eggs and Ham" count?
So there you have it, obviously my life is one big work-in-progress. I've also knitted 3 scarves and a poncho since Sept 1st (I think the knitting bug bit after that). And the weekly to do list isn't a complete list of what I've done this week (like I left out "buying hockey skates for Kyle" and "trip to yarn store"). The ones above are what I actually wrote down that I wanted to complete this week. So now I guess I need to make those phone calls, huh? Ick...
