I love lists. It’s not a big secret. While I have tried in recent months to be less of a slave to the lists I make, I still like to make them. It’s fun. I even spent a perfectly good gift card on a book of other peoples’ lists. I don’t regret it all.
I am combining website Wednesday with a listy post I am working on for the weekend.
Here is a nifty site that provides a fill-inable grocery list (for FREE!) that you can use – it also provides a gallery of other peoples’ shopping lists - akin to being out for a walk and looking in others’ windows, I think. In any case, some of them are funny, and the downloadable list is HANDY. I have already printed a few and they will reside on the side of my fridge so I can tick off things as I need them and try to remember all my silly cloth bags when I go to do the shopping on Sundays. Enjoy – it’s a tiny bit of List Heaven it is.
Now, for the weekend plan. I always have a general game plan of what I would like to accomplish on the weekends, and very rarely do I get a whole lot actually done. I am not horribly surprised that this happens, because I do manage to fill my time with things I mostly like to do, but I thought it would be interesting to keep track of what I WANT to do, then note what ACTUALLY gets done. Could be interesting. So here is the list for this weekend:
- Clean house in preparation of company arriving next Thursday and also because this shit just needs to plain get DONE (The Hubster and I, but mostly the dog, are PIGS): entrance, laundry room, office, living room, dusting, kitchen (deep clean incl oven), family room, spare room, bedroom. This may also include some impromptu furniture re-arranging. A-hem. I want that on the list in case it happens. Which it might.
- Plant palm tree that has been standing in *SUPER* attractive bucket, outside my front door, since the beginning of July. Yes, that was several months ago.
- Meal plan for week, grocery and vegetable shopping
- buy big giant bag of dog food
- 2 90 minute yoga sessions
- 2 tanning sessions (in preparation for Cuba!!)
- laundry
- put away all clothes in walk in closet. It looks like the closet threw up in there, and it makes getting dressed in the morning a bit of a lottery. Also iron clothes and make repairs to pants that I have been wearing when I should not be.
- buy new dress pants for work.
- write in blog
- email the giant list of people I have been meaning to…
- coaching work: prep/records/marketing etc
- fill dog cookie jar
- particiapte in my share of dog walks (usually one per day)
- spend time with the Hubster
- establish fall routines (finally) around coaching, home, exercise, diet etc. Enough behaving like a frat boy, for heaven’s sake.
Seems like a lot, I know. That’s ok. We’ll see where I get to.
I will now bask in post-list afterglow.
