When the Cat is Away...

Next week is going to be a bit bittersweet.  William will be in the US all week, which makes me a bit sad, but on the other hand, I'll have tons of time to do things and finish projects.  So while I will be missing him terribly, I have plenty of acrylic paint, embroidery thread, almond flour, trashy pop music and Murphy's albums to keep my company.

Just in case you were wondering what exactly is on my to-do list you could a) check out my Professionally Domestic board on Pinterest or b) keep reading. :)  Part of the reason I'm posting this is so you  can keep me accountable, and so that it doesn't get lost in my notebook that is full of brilliant things that never see the light of day.

To Do:  Deadline 11 February 2012


1 - organize all our clothes (my wardrobe/coat hanger/chair combo isn't the greatest system ever)

2 - catch up on my menu planning (AllRecipes.com blogpost coming soon... I love that site so very much)

3 - adapt Time Warp Wife cleaning schedule (and start using it)

4 - Finish House Rules canvas

5 - Finish Father Branken embroidery project

6 - Find a yoga class I like

7 - Update the blog (new colors and layout coming soon!)

8 - Paint the living room (we're in our house for at least another year and the last people built an extra wall so I figure a layer of pain won't be so bad).  [Note: this one is optional and may be replaced with re-potting all the root-bound plants in my backyard.)

9 - Clean the guest rooms.

10 - Start and finish my Valentine's Day project.

I like to keep my numbers nice and even, so I won't add the other three things I'd like to accomplish.  Also, that would mean I'd have to accomplish approximately two of these a day... which sounds like a lot of work.  But if I do accomplish all of these things and have a day or two left I'm going to try to talk my Mom into writing a guest article.  Even if I'm the only one who reads it... I think it would be fun.

Wish me luck!
