Oh Sweet Sweet Friday

Lauren 079
Yeah, that's me in the blue poodle skirt.  I'm only sharing this 'cus I like you.


It's Friday!! 
Well, actually it's currently 11:24 pm on Thursday, but I'm pretty stoked...  Can't you tell?

So, I spend my entire work week thinking about my weekend to-do list.  I get out my little lined notebook, make sure everything is neatly bulleted, and get out my favorite black ink pin.  Then, I put everything into categories.  First there are the errands I have to run, the projects I need to finish, and the food I want to cook.  I already have a list for this weekend, but I have a looming problem..... As soon as the weekend hits I will end up forgetting that that neat little list ever existed.  

That's sort of an issue.

My to-do list has become so insanely long that all I really want is to crumple it into a ball and throw it in the trash.  Apparently I can't do that anymore.  The projects are staring me in the face, and my stock pile of Nutella is becoming dangerously low.  (Oh Heavens!)

I am now going to share my list.. Not to get phone calls from certain relatives (ahem), but as a virtual reminder that I cannot destroy with a match or lighter.


Okay, here we go.

1.  Finish painting my closet doors
2.  Repaint the bookshelf
3. Start curing the pork belly
4. Do laundry
5. Drink a glass of rosé (Hey, something has to be enjoyable.)
6. Read my latest issue of Bon Appétit
7. Clean the coop
8.  Spray paint my big metal B


This list is totally do-able, right?  I purposely didn't make it too large, mostly because...well...I know myself.

Anyway,  I'll let you all know how it goes on Monday.  Expect a new update on Scratch That, including a possible new "Wine of the Week" series.   Oh, and if you haven't started "following" it yet, do it.  I pinky swear that it won't be lame.  I'm not crossing my fingers behind my back either.

So there it is!  Have a great weekend dudes. 
 À bientôt!

To Do List

DSCN0338
Our house, almost one year ago!

Spring is finally knocking on the door. FINALLY! If we get one more snow storm I may go on strike. The slightly warmer weather has me itchin to start house work. Unfortunately, I'm still in college (I'm graduating in MAY!) and it's hard to find time to do school work and all the projects which still need to be completed. Honestly, I'd rather be pulling weeds than writing another political policy paper. Ehh, patience is a virtue right? Bah humbug.
In order to keep myself focused I thought I'd write a list of to-dos.

Here it goes...

To Dos:
Finish painting the woodwork in the kitchen
Finish the entire set of kitchen chairs
Make/Find curtains for the kitchen
Find and install our new front door
Power-wash the siding
Install the new railing on our patio
Replace the shutters
Rearrange the guest room
Refinish the mirror
Refinish the metal B
Weed the garden and replant
Paint the entryway
Landscape if possible
Paint the inside of the cabinets and reorganize


We still need:
1 coffee table
2 side tables
Storage for all of my music books
Artwork and accessories for EVERYWHERE
Lighting for the upstairs living room

What I really want to do this summer:
Learn to can/pickle etc.
Get some chickens
Be a successful gardener
Make most of our food from scratch
Sew curtains
Learn to quilt
Go on vacation


And this is how I feel about that......

Of course, I did it to myself.... Too bad I love it.

Hearts,
Lauren
