The evergrowing list of things I'm going to do when the kids go back to school

  1. Get back to doing water aerobics - 3 days a week.
  2. Work in my studio - set hours - from 12:00 to 3:00 Mondays and Wednesdays.
  3. Start submitting here and there to magazines again. It's been awhile.
  4. Paint my bedroom.
  5. Paint the main bathroom.
  6. Start Christmas shopping.
  7. Get back to meal planning. Summertime is not condusive to an organized meal plan and it's starting to drive me crazy.
  8. Seed the bald patches in the front yard.
  9. List about a gazillion things on ebay.
  10. Work every day with Gracie until she learns to heel correctly.
  11. Clean out the 'green room' - my basement storage area.

And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Lots of plans.

I love summer - love having the chance to do fun things with the kids, but I'm ready for some structure - a schedule - and a little more free time to accomplish stuff without all these bodies all over the place...

Looking forward to my quiet Monday mornings again.

School starts two weeks from tomorrow.

I LOVE September!

    As a kid, I looked so forward to summer break. But by the end of the break I was ready to get back to school and see my friends, etc. Now as a Mom, it's not much different is it??!! Can't wait for summer break. But excited for school to start again too!! Good luck on your lists!! I'm great at making them -- horrible at actually doing them!!

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
