Finishing What I Start

The husband is off on a work-related trip and I am here at the house that may never get as clean as I would like for it to be.  This was the source of some tension prior to his departure, but the point is that I am trying to reform my ways.

I am a chronic starter.  I am not always a polished finisher.  In some cases, I don't finish.  My house is a testament to all of the undone things that I once had hoped to accomplish.  I have a blog that I long ago abandoned when it became clear that I did not have the right stuff to really tackle my own landscaping and yard maintenance.  A few weeks ago, I deleted a bunch of unfinished blog pieces because it was evident that something I never finished four years ago was unlikely to be finished now.

But because I am serious about getting my life together, here is my TO-DO list for now until Christmas:

1. Two pending blog posts that I am determined to finish
2. A massive pile of unsorted laundry that needs to be washed, folded and put away
3. Summer clothes to store
4. Clothes that need to be dry-cleaned
5. Meeting minutes that need to be distributed to the committee members
6. Committee reports that need to be drafted
7. A meeting agenda to draft
8. A fellowship application to download and complete
9. Paperwork to file for a client
10. Preparation for various meetings
11. Dances to learn
12. Reservations for travel
13. Appointments with various doctors
14. Old paperwork that needs to be recycled
15. Purchase a new computer
16. Networking
17. Emails and cards to send
18. Volunteering for GOTV efforts
19. Plantlings to re-pot
20. Breathe
