Yesterday I had a lot to accomplish in a just a few hours and I realized that I haven't been making my daily list. I quickly whipped out a notepad and jotted down my list. As I sipped my coffee this morning, I was surprised to see that got everything done on yesterday's list. Thus the name for my blog, Check It Off. I function so much better with my daily checklist. I am definitely going to be using my lists this week! The past few weeks I have been focusing on completing little tasks, which will help our life to run a bit more smoothly. Also, I really would like to have photos of my family in the picture frames, rather than the ones that come in them from the store!

Tonite I am taking the kids to a tryout for a local musical production of Sleeping Beauty. I am not sure if we will actually be able to participate in the production, but I think it will be great experience for them! ~I am a bit nervous for them, they are a bit nervous, too! So we will just see how it goes!
Tomorrow night are soccer tryouts for my son's travel team. You know spring is not too far away when soccer tryouts are happening! I find this to be a better predictor of spring than the groundhog!
The kids' Valentine's parties are this Friday, so I have a bit of baking to do. Their Valentines are done! I am also in charge of the guessing game. I am going to come up with a few containers where they need to guess the number of items in the jar. This is such a great game for second graders. Maybe I will have the party helper Moms guess, too. Wouldn't that be fun to see who is closer, the kids or the Moms?
Remember the camera my friend was selling? Well she decided to keep it. My friend and I were playing with it at the ski lodge and a man came over and told her what a great camera it is and showed her a few tricks. She vowed to use it more and learn more about it. And she said I can keep it for awhile longer. Sweet, huh? I am getting very close to buying my new camera. I am just deciding on the lens I want. I cannot wait!
My training is really coming along. I am going to sign up for another month, since I have already seen good results in 3 weeks! My favorite is the H.I.T. (High Intensity Training) class. It is kickboxing and I LOVE it! Such a wonderful feeling of power and strength when you have on the gloves. Not easy, but very fun!
Upcoming blog posts this week:
My interview with Lucy the Slipcover Queen and photos of her Studio/Work Room
A post with a recipe for a yummy winter recipe with a video starring me and Marissa
I am linking up with Amy at New Nostalgia for Anti Procrastination Tuesdays and Amy at Lucky Number 13 for Virtual Coffee.
If you have a chance, please pop over to my friend Marla's new blog, Random Thoughts. She is an awesome photographer, writer, ski instructor and the list goes on! Also, she is thinking about sharing her Manual for Mothers of Freestyle Skiers. What a friend!
We are getting a bit of light snow. I had to help my husband pull the snow plow out this morning. It was stuck and he couldn't get it out by himself. Cathy to the rescue! Yep, I am a woman of many talents. Now go find your hidden talents!
hugs,

So many fun things here. Ah, a list. I need a list. Desperately. My problem? I make a list, and then put it "somewhere." Whoops. Find it a week or two later. It's too easy to get lost in bloggyland here and avoid my list! Thank you so much for pointing out that my room was on Kristin's blog. I was four days or more behind in reads because of family in town, and grandma's funeral. So...thank you! Good luck to the kids on the tryouts! Exciting and a great experience!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how long it would take me to delete all of the unworthy photos on my computer. That is a task I don't even want to think about. I am so unorganized w/my pictures.
ReplyDeleteAnd, hello? Sleeping Beauty?!? Is this a play or the ballet? That's what I'm sewing these tunics for! BB's in Sleeping Beauty in March. What a small world!
