The “Done” List: Monday Morning Check In

I hope you had a great weekend! It was a busy weekend around here…lots of good stuff got done. As I mentioned on Friday, I decided to keep my to-do list a bit flexible this weekend, and work on what sounded fun. Well…this approach worked really well for me! It was quite liberating to just pick and choose a project based on my mood. Here’s my “done” list:

 

• Decluttered receipts box.  
• Switched over winter and summer stuff. The hats, gloves, scarves and winter coats are on their way into storage (some is there already; some is being washed.) 
• Set up summer essentials mini zone.
• Cleaned out Collin's school papers incubator.
• Boot camp.
• Dropped off hangers for recycling at Laundromat.
• Bought vegetables and flowers.
• Weeded and tilled garden, and planted it! (This took most of Saturday afternoon.)
• Decluttered and organized recipe binder. I edited my recipe binders and got rid of recipes that no longer fit our eating habits. Still have a bit to go on this project…but it moved forward nicely this weekend. 
• Weekly cleaning.
• Laundry. 
• Planned weekly meals. 
• Planted flower boxes and pots on front porch. 
• Swept + cleaned the front porch.  
• Weeded front yard. 
• Surface decluttered downstairs family room.

 

Whew! It was busy. How did your weekend go? What's on your done list? I look forward to hearing from you! Have a terrific Monday.

Congrats on everything you accomplished, Aby!!!

I didn't post a list on Friday because I, too, wanted to leave the weekend open. Between DH & I, we managed to:
*Buy him a suit & new shoes
*Buy Mother's Day gifts & cards
*Get blood work done for upcoming dr visit
*Have a breakfast & lunch "date" on Fri (in conjunction with running errands)
*Family pizza/movie night
*Soccer games on Saturday
*Help my Mom with bulletin boards for church
*Dinner "date" on Saturday evening with DH & grandson in conjunction with a trip to Lowe's
*And...best of all...DH mopped the floors!

Hi Aby! I tried to post last week, but the computer ate my post and I got so mad I just had to get up. : (

This past weekend I ran the half marathon!!! 13.1 miles - CHECK!!! in 2:49 and a few seconds. I was thrilled! I had a friend that ran with me, we committed to staying together, and we did awesome! I am so proud!!

And basically that was it. We went to a KY Derby formal event Friday, which was so fun even if I did have to come home a little early.

This week I am working on some scrappy projects (I joined the LOAD group. I'm one for one so far... it's been a great way to get me going again). Gardening will wait til after Saturday -- we've had tons of rain, but I know what I want to get.

I love your monthly checklists. I am going to print and use May's for sure! Have a great week!

Wow, that was a lot you have accomplished!
I did accomoplish something quite different this weekend. We had a holiday on Monday so i took the whole weekend to drive to the desert and just experience silence and space. Was so worth it, feel much recharged!

[Sinea]

Decluttering the receipts ... that does sound like fun. I'm going to do that this weekend! :)

[queen of string]

I foraged some fiddleheads for the first time and made an apple pie. doesn't sound much, but doing two things just for me was fab.

Could have weeded more of the garden, but instead got on a flight to London on Sunday. Worth hiring a weeder when I get back.
