If you’re new to my blog, Finish It Friday is a weekly event here at simplify 101 designed to help you have more fun and get more done. Go here to find out more about Finish It Friday. Also, in the post below I mention a couple of my goals. I’m doing a 13 goals in 2013 challenge this year, and you are invited to participate. Go here to learn more about the 13 Goals in 2013 Challenge.
Happy Friday! It’s that time again—time to organize our plans for the weekend ahead! I’m going to share what I know for sure at this point…and then, I might add some things later. It’s been a really full week…and I haven’t had much time to think about the weekend yet. But, I wanted to get the thread set up so you can share your weekend plans. Are you ready? Let’s do this!
Fun
- Run 6-1/2 miles. This will bring me to ten for the week…which means I’ll still be two behind from last week. So I’ll see if I can do even more. Wish me luck! (Goal #1: Run 500 miles in 2013.) Update: 4 miles done so far!
- Project Life. Download and print photos for the last two weeks. (Goal #3.) I downloaded and edited the photos, and uploaded them for printing. I want to add some other photos from 2012 before I complete my order. I’m calling it a check. 😉
- Knit. Check!
- Dinner out with Jay. We are going to our favorite restaurant for a late Valentine’s Day celebration. Looking forward to it! Check!
Done
- simplify 101 project. I’ll be working on my new workshop, The FUNdamentals of Getting Organized, some more this weekend. I’m excited to see it coming together and hope to have it ready for enrollment very soon! Hooray! Check! Almost ready to open for enrollment.
- Meal plan and grocery shop. Check! (Thanks to Jay for shopping.)
- Laundry. Check!
- Mop. I’m oddly excited about the new mop head I picked up at the Container Store yesterday. Yes, I went to my version of the “candy store” on Valentine’s Day. (Very apropos, wouldn’t you say?) Check – though the new mop headed didn’t fit on the old mop. Grrr…
- Hand-wash two shirts. Check!
Alright…that’s it so far. I’m sure I’ll add more as the weekend progresses. What’s on your to-do list this weekend? Please share your to-do list in the comments and remember to share your progress in the comments of this thread.
Have a great weekend!

Hi, Alissa,
Thanks for your enthusiasm about The FUNdamentals of Getting Organized. We hope to have it ready for enrollment before the end of the weekend.
Good luck with your to-do list this weekend! I did a joint birthday party once – it was fun. 🙂

Ok, we went to the museum, which was extra fun as it was a special Luci & Mommy date as the baby stayed home. Much more doable since the museum was crowded and I didn’t have to deal with stroller.
My project life print order came on Friday so I put photos in, but have finish up work to do, I did some photographing of project life.
I blogged some videos
I did not do much on the birthday party
I ran church powerpoint and I grocery shopped but didn’t really meal plan. I mailed both cards and packages. So I feel pretty good about what I accomplished.
Thanks so much for the free sample lesson! I’m off to read it now.
Thanks, Melissa! Hope you enjoy it. 🙂

Got everything accomplished, but had to stay up a little later last night to fit it all in! I ended up helping set-up for my nephew’s birthday party, which was extra time I hadn’t expected. Also…not only got my DD’s preschool pictures done, but also got 200 other photos off the camera, labeled, and backed-up! And…I stored both my boy & girl 18 month clothes (I have 2 year old twins). So hooray for getting extra stuff done! : )
Hooray indeed Cindy! Sounds like a great weekend. 🙂
Finish
*Printing photos for Proj Life
*Working on Proj Life albums with my nieces – we’re having a “working fun” session
*Making two scrapbook layouts – taking Organizing Your Creative Space and doing this will give me some clues about how I create and how I could better organize my stuff
Done
*Post Office – weather permitting – to mail about 5 packages
and I’m happy to say that I did it all from last week ‘s list. I am amazed!
Cheers~
Oh I love that third one – it’s a nice two for one – doing some creative projects in support of your organizing goals. Yay! Can’t wait to hear how that goes.
Congrats on last week’s progress, too.

I want to know what you’re knitting, Aby! I was driving in Illinois today and you popped into my mind and I wondered whether you were doing much knitting. Do tell!
Hi, Janine,
I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count – LOL. (It’s a scarf. Probably the same scarf I was knitting back when you taught me how to knit hearts.) Such a slow, sporadic knitter I am. 😉
Thanks for thinking of me on your drive today.
Aby
