The Sun will come out Tomorrow... Bet your bottom dollar.... (on second thought - hold ON to that dollar - with today's economy you might need it!)

Tomorrow's goals (tomorrow being Monday, a workday which is no fun!)

1. work
2. post office and mail all packages/squishy envelopes, etc.
3. Finish up baby blanket #2 - at least to the hand quilting part!
4. Carpenter star.... - figure out the challenge there and fix it. All it really needs is to be sewn together - AFTER that one block is sized down! Once that's done - do the borders and set in bag to take to SH quilts for pinning.
5. Garden for an hour - do lasagne method in setting up bed. Perrenial - side and bottom
6. Finish up zone work in my room - which means catch the 2 windows, sweep and damp mop floors - the rest is done, done, done!
7. Paperwork - 30 minutes - Pay those bills! And file!

Helen's do-list (my "take" on Cindy's do-list)

Hmmm - seems to me that I had joined Cindy in her March Madness some time ago. But then it is no longer March and I'm NOT going to comment on the Madness part - save that it appears that April frenzy is finally calming down! TG!

Sooooooo - thought I would pick up again on the March Madness (Cindy's theme) and for this last week - and possibly through May (May Meanderings????) I would continue it.

Idea is that this is sort of a scavenger hunt - and I need to post the pix of whatever it is I see (provided my cable for my camera appears within the next century!)

1) Shop at home (credit/debit cards on vacation - YAY!)
2) Eat healthy (I'm sure there is a fancier way to say this - however........) and BE healthy (exercise) (Sparkpeople.com for each)
3) "Flylady" cleaning
4) Quilt for 30 or garden for 30 or whatever - I can choose here - whether it is something I procrastinate on (I procrastinate quite well) or is a new challenge. Theoretically something different every day.
5) Grateful 3
Cindy's list was for a month. I think I lasted 3 days on the month part. I'm working on a week for now - and then we'll see. Plus as per my dd suggestion I pared it down (from 8 - 9 items) to 5.

EGADS!!!! It's almost the end of April!!!!

and I feel like I've just started this month! Good grief!

Melissa and Nathan stopped by today to change into clothes for wedding they are going to. They looked soooooooooo nice! When I asked them where they were going - Nathan piped up with" We're going to get married." I came back with "and you didn't invite me??!!!????" Turns out Nathan was joking. I think if I'd been Melissa I woulda smacked him on the arm! Love him but he's a rotten kid!!!!!


Goals for this month SO far - NOT MET! and I need to see what I can do to change that one for sure!
