This is my first FULL officially official week back, so it’s back to business. {sniff} Hard to come to the realization that Christmas is a mere couple weeks away, and I’ve been totally derailed from plans with the Christmas Book of Preparations and All Things Awesome™, as well as continuing (and soon finishing) shopping for the crew.
Kinda need to get back on the ball, here. “The book” has been fully updated with presents already purchased and such, I have a grip on where I am, and how much more behind than, I thought, and not as ahead as I’d like to be, dammit. So, in an effort to get there, here’s my Christmas plans for this week:
- SHOP!!!!
- (Okay, to elaborate on the above, ONLINE SHOP! There’s a limited window of time left with which to get stuff in time for Christmas online! So MAKE WITH THE SHOPPING, ALREADY!)
- Christmas cards – finish choosing a picture, and DO IT, slacker! {cough}
- Addresses for the above. Anyone wanna play, too?
- SHOP (in Lake Charles)!
- Get crackin’ with the homemade gifts, and plan/execute the rest.
- Did I mention shop?
For my regular, ol’ To Do list this week:
Finish Christmas decor (because I’ve been such a slacker since returning from visiting Mickey)
Laundry, ‘cuz it’s kinda breeding. A lot.
Go Go Gadget Handmade Christmas Gifts! (If only it were that simple)
Shampoo-eth the carpets-eth even if you’re a lazy-ass-eth, Lisa-eth, they need it-eth.
Grocery shopping/coupons/list
Bills-n-stuff grown-up like I don’t want to doStaying on my diet every day* (Back to it!)
Work out 4++ times this week* (As I said, back to it, sister! Spent too long off the routine, and Christmas and all its egg-nog, cookie-eating glory is almost here!)*Will weigh myself Wednesday morning in hopes I’ve been doing well since getting back.
Today’s motivation – shop! No, no, sorry, got that stuck in my head, heh. Baking! What about baking? Have you been in your kitchen baking at all in preparation for the holidays? Flour, sugar, vanilla, eggs and some love are all you need to make an easy sugar cookie. Keep an eye out for my sugar cookie recipe later this week! Nothing can get you in the mood more than creating something with your hands your family (and friends) will enjoy. It doesn’t cost much, either, to stay in and bake some cookies to enjoy with milk while playing a game or watching a movie with the family. Perhaps a new tradition?

Would you like to join us this week for To-Do Tuesday? Start with just a few things. Don’t over-do it your first couple of times. You’ll grow to become a list-a-holic later, start small now, though, k?
Just so you know, you can join us at anytime, it doesn’t have to be on Tuesdays – the list will go up every Tuesday for you to link to, but you can make your list and link to us at any point in the week!
Remember, with “To-Do Tuesday“, we’re attacking our to-do lists each week, blogging about our lists and what we’ve got going on, and sharing it with each other to help keep each other accountable. Everyone should come back here to link up in the MckLinky as the central “To-Do Tuesday Hub” so we can visit who’s participating and offer encouragement to each other throughout the week. Don’t forget to add the “To-Do Tuesday” button to your post, linking back to this post!
Let’s continue to cross items off our list as we go and help support each other in completing our lists! Don’t forget my useful HTML tutorial on how to effectively “cross-out” or √ “check off” your items on your to-do list!
