To-Do List

I was reading your wishcake (who, by the way, I'm convinced is my west coast doppleganger) and this post totally motivated me to make a to-do list and stick to it! I'm not doing the whole "101 things in 1001 days" part, but I do want to make a list of things I want to do and cross them off as I go. I guess I'll give myself until the end of 2009 to do all of these things, although some of them are definitely immediate future.

1. Redesign the store.

2. Finish scrapbook for Brian's parents' wedding.

3. Rake my parents' backyard and weed the planters. (This ended up not being necessary).

4. Plant veggies and flowers in said planters. (See above.)

5. Find nice prints and have them framed.

6. Re-pot my cactus.

7. Find someone to design our website and put the web store up.

8. Find an artist to make digital images for the warehouse windows.

9. Buy pretty flower pots and plant my bulbs.

10. Start all of my veggie seeds.

11. Get rid of goodwill box in kitchen. (and yet there is already another)

12. Find out fees for farmers markets and try and sell seedlings. (I changed my mind).

18. Go to New Paltz and explore with Brian.

19. Visit the Science Barge in Yonkers.

20. Go to John's Pizza with my parents at least twice. (I brought them John's when my dad was sick, does that count?)

21. Buy a cute summer dress. And wear it.

22. Go to the new Yankee Stadium. (So many times, plus for when they won the World Series!!!)

23. Go to the city for dinner to a place I've never been before on a weeknight.

31. Get glasses.

32. Remember to make a "Day in the Life of..." photo post.
