Things I am Working On

I decided to share with my fans the list of things I am currently working on. Some are large projects others are things that need to be done by the end of the week. The problem with much of this is that I am supposed to be at work from 8:30 until about 5:00 every weekday. Then additionally I am exhausted so I have been going to bed by 9:00 pm. I cook dinner and spend time helping Rick hold down the couch too cause I have no energy after to do anything. Maybe that is why these things make me feel like I have so much to do.

Credit Reports - Rick and I found a bunch in inaccuracies and sent in disputes. These have now come back but I have not sorted through all of them to find out if everything is fixed now. This is something I need to do this week.

Filing - I have a box of papers that needs to be filed. It was supposed to be done last weekend. Guess it gets pushed to this weekend as a deadline.

Scrapbooking - My general photos - This is a large scale project which I really don't want to last forever. I am trying to not only put my photos into electronic and pdf scrapbook pages but I want to make videos.

Scrapbooking - Genealogy -As part of my genealogy I have been working on collecting family/personal histories and photos. I want to compile these electronically so that I can share them with my other family members and so no one has to re-do the information again.

Quilting - Of course I had to start something new. Not having a sewing machine of my own will slow this down and probably make it so I don't keep up on it as much as I could/should/want to

Knitting - I started a blanket 3 years ago. Yes 3 years ago and it still isn't done. I am happy when I get 5 rows done a week.

Cross Stitching - I have a project I started when I went to England...8 1/2 years ago!! Let's not even talk about this one.

Exercising - I try to get out and play tennis as much as possible with Rick. Right now the weather is superb and so we cram in as much as we can before it is too wet.

5 year Budget/Spreadsheet for work - Yes this is what I shoudl be working on right now. I am in charge of putting together the 5 year budget for our big Talisman project. (1800 acres with an 18 hole private golf course on the south side of the Jordanelle Reservoir.) Obviously I am not into it. I have all the data from different pro formas I have put together for it over the last year and a half but finally I am to put it all into one location and it is to be set in stone.

Read - I just always need to be reading something and learning something. This goes along with Scripture reading too but doesn't count towards the general learning.

I can't believe I almost forgot...Wash my hair. This is an undertaking in itself which must be done at least twice a week!

I think those are the things I feel that are on my plate right now. Really it isn't too bad. This work thing just seems to get in the way of my life and the things that I really need to do.

Here it is 10:00 on a Friday night and I am up on my computer watching Princess Diaries 2 while Rick is dead asleep in our room. That is alright though. I need to make a list of things I need to do in the Jeff Gordon bedroom.
#1 - I have over 6000 photos on my computer. I need to start clearing them off. The problem? I need to clear them off in an organized manner onto cd's so that I can find them when I need them again.
#2 - Clean off the futon - I have a lot of filing to do which leads me to...
#3 - Clean out the filing cabinet
#4 - Clean up the closet floor. Ever since we got a storage unit about 3 weeks ago I have stuff just all over the floor in the Jeff Gordon closet.
#5 - Overall cleaning of this room! There is just stuff all over that needs to be put into its home

As for tomorrow, well if the weather is at all like today, I will probably be working in here getting some of that done. We are going to the ReAl game in the evening. It should be fun. We always have a good time when we go and this time we have seats on the west side and near Carnival ReAl. Should be a new experience since we usually are on the east side facing the sun but down by the corner where all the crazy season ticket holders sit.

The only new photos I have are of baby Katie so why don't I post some... Good idea MicheleThis was little Katie checking out Rick. She already likes him more than me. Then again, all of our little nieces and nephews do. When I went to visit Wednesday afternoon I walked into the room and little Jimmy didn't even say hi. His first words to me were, Where's Rick? I am glad they all like him.
Princess Diaries 2 is such a good movie. Since I got on facebook and have been playing the never ending movie quiz I think about questions that should be on there when I am trying to go to sleep. Alright..I guess I am off to try and start really getting my photos organized. I am doing a better job than what I used to do so that should help.

OH I almost forgot...I saw THE ugliest baby today that I have ever seen while doing my blog stalking. If you want to see this freak of nature/alien, drop me an email and I will let you know where to check out the photo.
