missed target

I had every intention of doing my very first true-to-blog-name, before and after post tonight about making some legwarmers out of a scarf that I got from Red White and Blue. Instead we breathed some new life into the ongoing gigantor back room project. The door frames are five ninths (5/9ths) of the way installed.

By finishing the door frames, I realized I have to add some more things to my to-do list. Now I have to paint the damn doors.

Maybe tonight I'll name my to-do list. Trish? Dixie? I've been naming a lot of things after female characters lately.

I think I'll go with Meredith, in honor of Dr. Rodney McKay from Stargate Atlantis. He's a pretty-annoying-yet-can't-do-without character.


Well Mer, maybe we should see about putting you on a diet.

all chewed up

My four day stay-cation is quickly coming to a close and although I'm sure I accomplished a lot for the average bear, I just don't have the sense of completion as I had hoped for this weekend.

1. Finish small black and white catering ad
   
2. Meet with, discuss & finish jeweler business card
   
3. Clean out some clutter & start some organizing
4. Go to Green Project for fun things: bed frame, privacy screen, back yard treats
   

Ok, so I guess I technically finished close to 90% of my list. I only halfway started cleaning out the massive amount of clutter that still lingers, and of that I only started organizing half of it.

In addition, I also managed to:

1. Start a filing system for 3 at home LLC's
2. Start my HTML(4)/CSS learning spree
3. Listed stuff to sell online
4. Completed 3+ episodes of Stargate SG1 and Atlantis
5. Finished all the backyard planting and mulching

I did not, in four days, make it to the grocery. I'll just have to take care of that one tomorrow during the day.


Small victories. I conquered the back yard this weekend. Unfortunately the boots were not enough to combat the mosquitoes.


The troops (Indy was around there somewhere).

Can freedom get here faster?

I've scheduled myself a nice 4-day stay-cation starting at 4pm and am already fine tuning my to-do list. For starters, I want to go to The Green Project. Or, I guess I should want to finish up some lingering projects.

1. Finish small black and white catering ad
2. Meet with, discuss & finish jeweler business card
3. Clean out some clutter & start some organizing

Which should finally lead me to... go to The Green Project!

I'll be looking for pieces/parts for a variety of projects: privacy screen for washer/dryer area, headboard for the master bedroom, something fun to accessorize the new backyard. I'll be doing some research and spending some quality time with my google reader.

See how it could use some accessorizing?
