Motivational Monday

Have forgotten to post this for a few weeks! Sorry, life has been crazy. 

What do you want to accomplish this week? 

How are you going to get it done?

    Yesterday I finished moving my dresser from my dressing room and my bookshelves into my dressing room (now it's my office, but in an alcove of the master suite - you have to walk through it to get to the master bedroom, but hey, guests never go into my room anyway.)  This also involved a considerable downsizing in books, and I took the last of 4 boxes of books to charity, and have sold some individual books on Amazon and some sets on eBay.  YAY!  That's done.

    This week I'm going to get my butt to Ikea at some point and get:
    -A table to use as a desk that fits between the bookshelves in my new office
    -A bunkbed for the girls
    -New dressers for the girls
    -Maybe a new bookshelf for the girls' room.  I'd like to get a sturdier one that the one they have so I can put a fish tank on it.  I have a 30-gallon that they'd love, maybe with some day-glo tetras and some other girly-looking community fish.

    I am also going to drag my 55-gallon aquarium out of my closet, get the lights and other equipment down from the attic, and put that sucker on Craig's List.  Then I can move the clothes out of the closet in the spare bedroom that isn't going to be a spare bedroom anymore.

  • Baking and christmasy stuff are on the list for the week. I really want to get some baking done.
  • I have so much to get done I can't even sort it all out in my brain.  I really need a pensieve to get some of the thoughts out of my head.

  • I've got to get Christmas under control. Shopping, wrapping... it all needs to get done this week.

    I plan to use my lunch breaks and take advantage of extended store hours. Plus, I'll probably have some late nights.

  • I have so much to do this week I honestly don't know how I'm going to get it all done.

    On the agenda for tonight grocery & alcohol shopping for parties I am hosting attending Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  The rest of the week will be a blur of party prep and partying.  

    I have one last Christmas craft I would like to finish up in there somewhere, if it has to wait until next week it won't be a huge deal though.

  • Christmas shopping. I have only bought gifts for four people. I am far, far behind...and I am lacking in Christmas spirit. My parents had to have their cat put to sleep on Friday, and it has given me an enormous case of The Sads.

  • I need to finish up my Christmas shopping and clean the house.  I wish that we would have gone through with traveling over Christmas because I would love to not have to deal with people next week.

  • I plan to try not to clobber my boss with locomotive builder's plates.  My plan to accomplish this is to avoid him so he doesn't come up with more harebrained schemes.

  • I need to finish some holiday shopping. I also need to finish about four crafty presents. Friday I start cookie baking so I need to clean the kitchen really well before then. You know, clean before I mess it up again. I also need to rearrange some furniture.

  • I need to get some Christmas shopping done. I don't know what my problem is this year. I normally am done by the first week of December.

    I guess I need to budget and just suck it up and join the masses and get it done. But I have no good ideas for anyone this year.

  • I'm waiting until I get paid on the 26th before I join the gym again.  I'm going to rejoin the YMCA.
