Get it done, get it done, get it done!
Today is Saturday. AND I LOVE IT.
Here’s why: I’ve dedicated today to Getting-Junk-Done-Because-I’m-About-To-Be-Super-Busy-For-About-Six-Weeks-In-A-Row. Most of the stuff I’m doing today is completely domestic — WHICH I LOVE — and, since I also love any and all forms of lists, I decided I would make today’s to-do list on my blog.
This also will, um, serve as a gentle push to GET IT ALL DONE.
Let’s begin:
1. Do all laundry. Including pile of clothes currently lying on bedroom floor.
2. Clean bedroom. This should involve a vacuum cleaner and perhaps even a dust cloth.
3. Clean bathroom(s). Avoid cleaning said bathrooms by writing a pointless blog post.
4. Reorganize closet and drawers; reorganize bathroom closet, too.
5. Write two handwritten, long letters, each to friends overseas. Draw little pictures in the margins.
6. Buy puppy food for Snuggles y Cuddles. Do not stare at cute vet assistant whilst in vet office purchasing said food. Say yes when cute vet assistant offers to carry bag of food to car. Do not trip whilst following him to said car.
7. Pet Cuddles’ head; throw Snuggles’ toy. Repeat x 47.
8. Clean / arrange massive bookshelf in the hallway.
9. Clean kitchen. Throw away bananas that are black. Be ashamed that the internet people know you have old bananas sitting on your kitchen counter.
10. Clean living room / dining room. This should be easy since they’re rarely used.
11. Go to grocery store; avoid Spring Oreos.
12. Ask the internet people what makes Spring Oreos taste so much better than regular Oreos?
13. Clean out bridal shower stuff from car. Remind yourself that you’re two weeks late in doing this.
14. Wrap bridal shower gift for tomorrow’s shower. RSVP that you’ll actually be there. Apologize profusely. Find directions to where you’re going in GA for said shower. Put gift in car today so you won’t forget it.
15. Check Shamu cam. Explain why you can’t linger due to today’s to-do list.
16. Write in diary.
17. Actually hang up / fold all laundry. FOR REAL, AMY BETH. NO EXCUSES. IT’S ON YOUR BLOG.
18. Answer 38 emails in blog inbox.
19. Answer 22 emails in Starlite inbox.
20. Give Snuggles y Cuddles their baths. Then, give yourself a bath because you will need it.
21. Pick-up dress for tomorrow’s wedding shower from dry cleaners. Before they close. Which is 20 minutes from now.
I remain, ever faithfully yours,
Domestic Darcy

let me know when you find out whereabouts you will be in Atlanta…fingers crossed we might be able to meet up!
Good luck with your to-do list. I have a pretty daunting one myself today, but compared to yours it’s nothing!

I have had the pleasure to enlighten many people on the fact that spring oreos magically taste better than regular oreos or double stuffed for that matter. The only conclusion I can come up with for the reason behind this is that there must be something in the yellow artificial coloring.

I’ll tell you what, I’m impressed by the domestic-ness . . . I am SO far from that EVER. And you think I would be there since I’m, you know, a mom and all . . . whatever. Now if only we wouldnt work in ministry so I could afford a maid.

Oooh! I love to-do lists. There’s just something about having a list and getting to check things off of it that is so fulfilling. I love it!
I also love that you are writing letters to friends overseas.
And I too must know…what is a spring oreo?
with love,
tiffany

My list was waaaay shorter and I didn’t get even close to getting it done. All I had to do was completely declutter, scrub and reorganize my not so huge kitchen. And do the same to the hutch. I got about 60% done. Maybe I’m too much the perfectionist. Not likely. Maybe I’m too much the procrastinator. Far more likely!
