Well, well, well. This week is my Fair Break. That's right. We get off a week for the Fair. We've tried keeping school in session in the past, but guess what- no one came. They were all busy combing sheep and feeding chickens and showing goats. It's awesome. Don't hate.
This week, I'd like to do the following:
-paint our bathroom (so excited!)
-hem a jacket I found at Goodwill last year (pictures to follow!)
-rearrange my office
-sort my shoes/rearrange coat/shoe closet
-research starting an etsy shop
-run to petsmart to get new tags for the dogs
I'm sure there are about a million other tiny little things, but let's take it slow this week. Come on, it's The Fair.
Oh yea, and I'd like to ride the Ferris Wheel. I'm also in the market for a goat to pet and a deep fried pickle. Hoo-ray and Yee-haw!

I'd also like to give a "shout out" to Katie. She is a super sweet new blogger I found. According to her 100th post, we share a love of Friends, Calvin and Hobbes, and long earrings. She recently gave Yours Truly an award. I don't have the time right now to tag/comment 10 other people (I'll explain later), but I really wanted to say a big ole' thanks to Miss Katie. :)
My friend Carmen came up with a great idea for her blog- she posts her weekly to-do list and shares some things she's already checked off. She also encourages her readers to post theirs and link back to hers so we can all be inspired by what everyone is accomplishing. Hooray for a Team Effort.
Except...
Poor Carmen, I have been telling myself I was going to link up to her "to-do" posts for a long time. But, we're here now. Hooray, again!
Honestly? It has changed MY LIFE! Ha...Seriously. I have been using a little notebook and adding things to my list...along with marking things off ever since school started last week. I think this is a large part of the reason why my house is actually *kind of* clean/picked up. I love the "doing little things at a time" attitude this list-making evokes...not quite so overwhelming, I must say.

Well, here are the things I'd like to finish by Friday or Saturday. Some of them are school/work-related so I realize they don't have much meaning to you...but to me...yowza. I actually feel pretty good about what I got accomplished tonight. Here is my most updated list (no longer including things that I marked off tonight).
Grade Math Assessment 10.8
laminate a few things I've been putting off
Hang 20 "word wall" words
iron/hem curtain that goes in classroom door/window
Double-check due date of student loan
Go to the bank
Send necessary emails
look up some new recipes/start grocery list for upcoming week
dust living room/dining room
unload dishwasher
I was a bit vague on some things. I felt silly detailing exactly whom I "need" to email, etc. Although I'm sure those people would be flattered, I don't think everyone needs to know EVERYTHING.
I feel super lame saying this, but it was fun. Thanks for the idea, Carmen! I'm sure I'll be linking up again sometime soon.
If you are a reformed clutterbug/control freak/person-of-organized-chaos like me, then I highly suggest you try this "to-do list" method. It really does make life (and organized living) much easier.
Love and lots of check-marks,
H.
