Ah! I feel like I cannot breath…let alone take a few minutes out of my day to write this post…BUT because I love keeping up with this little blog, I feel that this quick break is necessary not only for my sanity, but also so that I can look back on this post someday and laugh at how “busy” I thought that I was – but I am busy, really busy. :)
Aside from the million and one work things that I have to do today and for the remainder of the week, I also have a million and one projects and things on my personal to-do list that I want to go ahead and check off the list. But as my mom and husband know well…sometimes I am a bit of a procrastinator, which now that I think about it, is definitely the reason my list of To-Do’s is a mile long.
So in an effort to organize my thoughts a bit and still write a post today, I figured I would list out some of the crazy things that I have been thinking about lately and have wanted to get done…
1. Finish my black and white photo gallery wall that will be hanging in our entryway hall opposite my black and white “tape” DIY wall. I’ve got all of the frames, and have a few of the photos, but I need to finish editing the photos that I want, print them, arrange the frames and go ahead and get some nails in the wall.
2. Sign up for a half marathon. There’s been some moving and shaking going on in our household recently, so I’ve been putting this off until things have gotten a little more settled. Luckily, I’ve been doing a good job of getting in the right amount of running each week, but since I’ve been dying to try a half marathon, I need to get my butt in gear, pick a race, and make all of the plans.
3. Speaking of plans, I need to finalize my travel plans for my good friend’s wedding on September 10th. Yes, I realize that is now less than a month away, but I think I’ve got the flight I want to take picked out and I’m planning on working out all the rest of the details this evening/I am waiting for my vacation time to be approved.
4. Figure out what I’m going to be wearing at said friend’s wedding. I’m sure I have something suitable in my closet, but that’s another to do list item…
5. Once again, organize my closet. Every few months it just starts to get disheveled and unorganized. I’m going to go ahead and add cleaning out the pantry to this number too…another area that gets out of control quickly and drives me mad when it’s messy.
6. I’m really starting to get excited about having the Fall months once again making their debut. I feel like our first summer spent here in New York was actually a mild one and not overly terrible. In fact, it’s been downright amazing. Every evening when we take a walk it’s always so breezy and comfortable. Sure there have been a few SUPER hot days and even one outrageously hot week, but other than that..I’ve loved the summertime here. Ok, that wasn't a "to-do," but I felt like sharing. :)
7. With the Fall months on their way I am already starting to think about holiday travel plans (gotta think about this now so that I make sure I have enough vacation days stored up!) and other fun holiday things…including our Christmas Card. Yep, you heard me correctly, I’ve already thought about our Christmas Card (only once, but still). You may think I am crazy, but it’s just one of those things you think about once you’re married….my mom always sent one out and I will do the same …it’s kind of like how much I love to read home decorating magazines now over the beauty and fashion ones…I’m actually turning into a “wife”.
8. I bought an ADORABLE i-phone cover online, but bought the wrong size. Yep – I checked it like 20 times and still ended up with the wrong case. Awesome. Now I have to be worried about dropping my phone for a few more weeks until a new cover arrives in my mailbox. Again, not really a "to-do," but I felt like sharing.
9. Research some pretty new bedding for our bedroom. We definitely need a new set of sheets and I’m also looking into new duvet covers. Things are feeling kind of bland in the “bedroom décor” arena so I need to find some things to spruce it up.
10. Also, something I should have registered for, but didn’t really think I would want them…bathroom towels. At the time I couldn’t decide on a color, and really, I still haven’t, but we need a nice set of new towels, preferably monogrammed a larger towel than we have now…we’re both pretty tall…our towels should be to. :)
11. Do another “stuff” purge like I did with all of my makeup. I say that I’m going to do this all of the time, but I just have so much stuff it feels like a never-ending project. Hopefully I can put a dent in the “stuff” this weekend.
12. Finish my blog redesign. Ok, it's nothing major, but I need a few tweaks here and there. I've been working on this for...oh I don't know....six months. That's just sad.
13. Go see a movie with my husband. There have been so many great movies out lately and since we’re not really “go to the movies” people, I always seem to miss out on the latest and greatest and end up waiting forever to get it in the mail from Netflix. I think this weekend I am going to get us tickets to see a movie…maybe The Help? Who’s seen it? I’ve heard great things about It so far!
Alright, back to work.
Hope you have a great Thursday!
