It's On My List

OK, people. I am back. Much to discuss, which is probably why I haven't blogged in a few weeks. I find that the more and more I have to write about, the harder it gets to sit down and do it - which means that I wait longer, than have more to write about......then feel more overwhelmed at the thought of doing all the catch up blogging.

There should be several posts in the next few days on random topics - trust me, they are bouncing around in my head waiting for me to SIT DOWN AND WRITE.

For the past couple of nights, I have gone to bed at my usual time only to not be able to fall asleep. This is SO not me. I can fall asleep in under 60 seconds - honestly. But 2 nights ago, I came out to the computer and had to be lulled asleep by Glee clips on Hulu and last night I had to read for 40 minutes. And then I was still agitated a bit so I decided to write down EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE that I need to get done and keep putting off. Yes, I know the word.... procrastination. I called this list the STOP PROCRASTINATING list. I just went down an Excel spreadsheet listing everything I could come up with. Small things and big things. Finishing Devil in the White City from April's book club. Finishing Tipping Point from May's book club. Getting batteries in Landon's favorite toy. Catching up in his baby book. Researching travel restrictions with a baby (i.e. can I bring breastmilk on a plane in a carry on without (gag) having to taste it in front of TSA officers?). Booking all of our hotels for our trip and figuring out if I can swap my Marriott points with a coworker's Hilton points so we can stay at the Homewood Suites with the rest of the wedding party. Researching college accounts. Getting to my goal number of reunions for this year (I need three more!). Starting to check things off of Landon's Summer Reading Program list. And then there are the silly things like finish the Grey's Anatomy Season Finale on Hulu and buy cute flip flops. I wrote down everything I needed to do from the short term things that can be done today to the long term things that probably won't get finished until Landon goes to college (i.e. organize my gazillion photos). And one of the things I wrote on my list, which ended up amounting to 109 items......BLOG.

So, here I am, checking something off of my list. The great thing is that this blog is something I enjoy doing. Of course, I can already see what is about to happen. I will get all of the enjoyable fun things off of my list and then a few months from now, I will be cursing the fact that I STILL haven't fixed the damn towel rod in the bathroom or stopped the water in the master tub from dripping. Damn leaky pipes.

That is all for now, I am off to check off another item - 100 item procrastination list, here I come!
