To Do

As if I don't have enough to do already, what with breathing and everything,It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these, but I’m quickly learning that the older I get, the more forgetful I get.

Who are you, again?

Nevermind.

Basically, if I don’t write it down, chances are it’s not going to be bought, cleaned, dropped off, picked up, returned, or fed.

Besides, writing stuff down like this kind of makes me feel accountable to myself. So, in the event I blow off anything on this list, I hereby give myself permission to take me to task and publicly humiliate me.

However, I’m totally open to looking the other way in exchange for a donut.

Just in case I’m listening.

Who am I again?

Nevermind.

My To Do list:

• I need to get the interiors of my closets painted. I’m sick and tired of facing the old depressing, dingy, flat, ugly paint every time I hang up a coat or put away my groceries or store my towels. I need to paint my closets a nice, bright, cheery white that actually makes me want to open their doors and feed them.
• I need to find pretty pails or buckets or baskets and fill them with bathroom cleaning supplies and then put one in each of my bathrooms. I’m betting that if I eliminate half the work involved in cleaning a bathroom (i.e., running up and down the stairs to the laundry room to fetch and return the toilet bowl cleaner) and keep the supplies replenished and handy, there’s a greater chance that the bathrooms might actually be cleaned more often.
• I need to put our Christmas wreath away. It’s been hanging on front door since last November. Then again, if I choose to ignore it as I have for the past month, I won’t have to drag my ass up to the store room and hunt for it the day after Thanksgiving. I’m mulling it over. Mulling, mulling …
• I need to boot up Excel and create a working outline for my mid-life crisis which I’ve tentatively scheduled for next spring, provided the plastic surgeon is back from vacation, the machine shop has fabricated my stripper pole and the tattoo artist has created my custom ink by then.
• I need a blog redesign. Or I need to pay someone to do it for me. Which brings me to my final item:
• I need to win the lottery.

So what’s on your to-do list?
