To-Do List Results

Thank you to everyone who shared insight and advice regarding my post on Friday of things to do over the weekend.  It thrilled me to hear from you, and I'm so happy to have visited so many new blogs!

As promised, here is my list and just exactly how much I accomplished:

1) Laundry - Done! Thanks to the help of my husband, who got me started on Friday night.  I love you honey!

2) Pack up the rest of the decorations and get them ready to be moved over to the new house - Not completely done, but I packed as much as we could fit in the car so really, I couldn't have accomplished much more on this one.

3) Finally sew button back on coat (it's been missing for a week now) - Done!

4) Finally hem pant leg (pants have not been worn in at least a month because the entire hem came out one day and I haven't gotten to them!) - Done!

5) Finish organizing new kitchen - Pretty much done.  I brought a few of my own things in, the ones I know I won't be using in the next couple of weeks, and took everything out of my father-in-law's kitchen that I wouldn't be using and/or everything that was straight-up unusable.  Like a mini mountain of expired pill bottles.  Seriously, that alone freed up a small cabinet.


6) Take pictures of garden beds - Done, and I will be posting these pictures soon!

7) Possibly work on this wreath - Sigh.  This one causes me grief.  Thing is, I never got a chance to go out and get the materials for it.  So it still haunts and alludes me.

8) Clean - Done! Rob had friends over in order to work on their computer so it helped to have the motivation of company coming over.  Again, it was a team effort all the way!

9) Work on crocheting afghan - Started, plan to work during train commute until it is too big to reasonably be worked on without, you know, touching the dirty floor.  Yuck!!! After that it will be worked on at home.

Along with all of this, I made chicken and dumplings and cornbread last night for dinner.  I took pictures of the former, but not of the latter.  I was in way too much of a hurry at that point to worry about taking pictures - I was hungry and I was certain my guests were as well! I'll be posting about that later on.

Thanks again to everyone for their kind thoughts and words over the weekend. 

Now what about this pouring, drenching rain outside? Just the thing to make you want to hope out of bed and greet Monday morning...

Tonight: We pack! Wish us luck!
