I hope it was a great weekend for you! I’m posting the Finish It Friday check-in a bit early this week, as I have somewhere to be bright and early tomorrow morning. So…here’s my list as of Sunday evening.
Play List
- Basketball tournament with Collin. Check!
- Watch the Super Bowl. Will get a check here shortly. 🙂
- Dinner out. (We had pizza in instead…which was perfect for last night.)
To Finish
- Research counter tops for bathroom. I’m going to do this online while watching the Super Bowl.
- Laundry. Check! The last loads are finishing up as we speak…so this will be a wrap by morning.
- Clean the house. Check!
- Boot camp. Check! (Really proud of this…I wasn’t feeling great and was hoping this would squash the bug. It didn’t completely…but I bet it helped.)
- Clean out one file drawer. I did thirty minutes…but the whole drawer didn’t get finished. I am happy with the progress I made though. 🙂
- Clean out refrigerator. Check! (This wasn’t on my original list…but I spent a lot of time on this so I just had to share.)

Aby, I loved your update on the “clean out one file drawer” goal. I think it’s so important to recognize that progress, even if you don’t achieve your goal, is worthy of acknowledgement. Bravo!
Thanks everyone for your weekend updates! Well done.
@ Janine Adams—thank you!
