I'm Making A List

I'm not sure I'll be checking it twice, but I probably should. It is time for the Christmas To-Do List from hell to take shape.

1. Clean living room so that the tree can be assembled.
2. Assemble and decorate said tree.
3. Get over the tree envy I'm feeling about a certain Priest's absolutely incredible tree!!!
4. Work on a grocery list for holiday.
5. Decide which cookies are going to be made and what items will be on the table for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner.
6. Burn the Christmas Mix CD.
7. Buy presents..though this year it will be slim pickin's
8. Buy wine...lots of wine.
9. Remember that it is not polite to kill people.
10. Enjoy the holiday

It's To Do List Time

I really need to get the stuff I need doing on a list so that I can stop procrastinating. I'm a big one for putting off until next year, the stuff that I could be doing right now.

You know, like cleaning.

I think cleaning is highly over-rated.

I also think that when I have to do 4 loads of laundry and clean the multitude of litter boxes that I have to clean...that I should get a little help from the other member of the household that isn't a senior citizen. Fat chance of that happening.

Today I managed to get to the Y to use the elliptical for about 30 minutes. I also shot to Giant Eagle for bread and pierogies and then I came home and made chicken paprikas for dinner. Hungarians out there will know that this is a wonderful chicken and dumplings recipe with a sour cream sauce.

This was the first time I made it...and no one died!

Yet!

I guess it's time to get that to do list together.

Or maybe I can put it off until tomorrow!

Things To Do

It is Sunday and unlike the lyrics from that old Bangles tune, it isn't my fun day. I'm always playing catch up on Sunday, because Saturday is usually my play day.

What am I doing today?

1. Laundry: If I don't get one load done, it will be unmanageable in a matter of days, especially with this heat.

2. Grocery Shopping: Good lunch meat sale at Shop N' Save. Fat lot of good that's going to do me as I probably shouldn't eat any of that. Boo!

3. Take Dad To Dinner: If this man doesn't get his once a week restaurant fix, he pouts. No joke! It doesn't matter where I take him, I just have to take him to dinner. Today I'm thinking Eat N' Park.

4. Sort through old clothes for Goodwill. Make a trip there. Stay clear of the book aisle!

5. Start using that damn stepper I bought years ago. It may be too hot to exercise outside but at least there are fans in the living room.

6. Upload the many pictures I've taken in the last few weeks to flickr. I do have pics from my trip to Scenery Hill on my page now as well as pretty peacock pictures from Critter Country.
