Planning.

Call me crazy, but I like to plan things. I  am a list maker.  I like to have everything organized. 

We are starting to make our plans for  our year.  We have a ten year anniversary celebration/trip to plan.  Tim mentioned a trip to Ireland which I would love, but not sure if we are going to pursue it.  We have a lot of little things around the house to work on.  We have hiking trips to plan and maybe even a camping trip.  

In the past I have used notebooks to write everything down and then I'll put my notebook down not to be found for a month or two.  I figured since I have this little bloggie still up and running that I could do some planning here.

We have taken a weekend trip already once this month so I know that we won't be going out of town again for at least three weeks.  This weekend coming up we are planning to work on the closets in our bedrooms/classroom.  A while back I had the crazy idea to change everyones' bedrooms around but never got around to switching around the closets.  This weekend it will be done.   The following weekend will be outdoor pickup.  Crazy, I know, to do it in the middle of the winter, but I think the scarecrows can come in off the front porch.  

Oh, I just thought of something I have to do in the next week:  send Aidan's DS to Nintendo for some warranty work.  Self, remember to print off the Fed Ex label and send it.

After those two weekends are knocked off we are going to each weekend hit a room and super clean it.  I mean tear everything out of counters, pulling things off of shelves, scrubbing everything and doing touch up paint work.

So, there we have it....the month of January is all set up.  I know this year is going to be a good year and I'm excited!

Now, I'm off to take care of two weebles with sniffles.  Too many weekends away has finally caught up with them I think.

Hi Bee! Thanks for stopping by my place.

Maybe I am just lost in my own chaos of late, but I swear I posted a comment on this entry a couple of days ago. I thought I mentioned that I, too, am a planner and that I do the same thing with notebooks. Organize them, even make them all pretty so I will use them, and then I promptly misplace them. I just found a notebook from last January-March '07 with the planning and information for a cruise that we were taking that year. I had no need for the pages so I tore the used pages out, placed the ones with one side clean in the reuse bin the "office" (term used loosely), and discarded the remainder. Shredded it and put it in the compost pile.

I applaud your ambitious list of ToDo's for January. Best wishes!
