My Ever-Lovin' To Do List

Are you a To Do List-er? I totally am. Always have been. My best friend from college used to tease me about and try to hide my planner full of lists because she said I was too Type A. But I loved my planner (and still do). The thing is, it seems that the items on my To Do List never actually get done anymore. There is always something "more important" or "more pressing" that bumps my planned list out of the way. And so, here I am at least 2 WEEKS later, with the same junk on my list. What's even more sad is that the stuff that gets bumped usually has to do with home, since work and Blogalicious can't suffer...

And so it is Monday once again. A fresh start to the week and yet another chance to tackle my To Do List. In theory.

TO DO

• Make a list of the new furniture that we are planning to purchase and how much it will cost.
• Run monthly income/expenses to see if I can work part-time by the time Chatterbox starts Kindergarten.
• Send Thank You cards and family photos to the guests who attended L'il Buddy's Christening.
• Upload photos from camera, starting with Cousins' Reunion pics from Memorial Day.
• Write blog review posts for cookbook, kids' cooking set and diapers.
  

Exhausted

Ever feel like you are running on empty? Well that's how I feel right about now! I'm pooped and have so much going on that I don't know if I'm coming or going. So, I'm very sorry to be neglecting my pretty little blog over here. I feel bad about it - I really do. I need to do a couple of things to get my life back in order and I promise that I'll be back soon.

*Smooches*

ROTFLMAO

Don't underestimate the value of bonafide girl-time. On Friday the MamaLaw gals and another close friend spent the night at a hotel where we broadcast our first episode of our web show, hit the town for drinks and heart-to-heart convo, and laughed ALL NIGHT. Do you hear me? We laughed and laughed and laughed until 4:30am. I swear I was crying and my throat hurt from cracking up. Good times. I still can't help but smile when I think about us laughing. That has got to be good for the soul.

A Strange Kind of Paranoia

Since we've been married, my hubby has worked in somewhat remote, secluded locations as a contractor for the federal government. He would drive to work and drive home, spending his entire day in compund-like surroundings with other engineer-types. Bo-ring. A couple of months ago, he started a new job and this time the client where he is placed, is located smack in the middle of downtown. Hubby was so excited to start his new gig because he would finally be surrounded by normal restaurants! and shops! and a plethora of cosmopolitan people! He would also be within walking distance to my office and so, in addition to our morning and evening commute, we had visions of going on lunch dates together.

What didn't occur to me was that Hubby would be "exposed" to all of DC's finest female eye candy. The professional women that go to work dressed to the nines and the not-so-professional women who hang out downtown scantily clad. I asked him about it this morning and he said that the eye candy now that he works in town is "definitely better!" And of course he laughed and so did I. But while it never even crossed my mind to worry about the possibility of his eyes wandering before, and he's never given me any reason to fret, it's a concern at the back of my mind now! I may need to step up my wardrobe game...and schedule some of those lunch dates, quick fast and in a hurry!
