It’s time for another round of Finish It Friday. Woohoo! Are you in this weekend?
If you’re on the fence about participating, read the comments in last Monday’s check-in post. You’ll see lots of happy finishers there. Why not get in on the fun this weekend? You’ll have more fun and get more done. And remember, your list doesn’t have to be long—just one thing will do. Why not tackle that one nagging (lingering) to-do this weekend, and see for yourself how great it feels? Be sure to note an item or two on your play list. Even if it’s already scheduled and you don’t need a reminder (or motivation) to do it…remembering that you are planning to have some fun this weekend is a huge motivator when it comes time to do the other stuff.
Here is my list for the weekend. You’ll notice a cleaning theme. As of this moment I’m in the mood to do some deep(er), fall cleaning. I’m really hoping this mood continues over the weekend. 😉
Finish It Friday To-Do List
1. Wrap-up loose ends from sale. More progress is planned.
2. Plan Collin’s birthday celebration. He wants to have a camp out, and we don’t have a tent. So…let’s just say there are a few details to get figured out and finished up this weekend. 🙂
3. Clean behind stove
4. Clean behind refrigerator
5. Steam tile floor in kitchen.
Play List
1. Go trick-or-treating…or hand-out candy. We do this on 30th here which is a day early, but this year has the benefit of being on a Saturday…which is fun.
2. Read.
So what do you have planned for the weekend? I can’t wait to hear!
