So Much to Do, So Little...

...you so know the drill.

Goin' on a long trip soon and there's too much on my list. Can you relate? I thought that you could.

• Do the laundry. Can I tell you how much I hate to do laundry? There's no Kim Kesti in this old girl. Kim actually admits to enjoying it. Good thing, she's got eight kids to keep up with!

• Vote. I voted today and it felt GREAT just need to get through one more week of campaigning and speeches and drama and we can get back to life without an impending election. I vote for that!
• Select projects for the next special issue. It was tough, but we narrowed it all down and had zero holes to fill! Zero! Wahoo!
• Send out acceptances for said projects. They'll be in your in-boxes tomorrow, ladies!
• Provide link to new project for Brandy and Jennifer to get their feedback shh, it's a secret I can't tell you what it is but it's going to be sooooo cool! It will happen pretty soon after I get back from my trip, so stay tuned!
• Pack copy of Paper Crafts Gourmet to take to Maria. She's got a recipe in it and I can't wait to show it to her.
• Pay bills. Gotta get the money where it needs to go before we leave.
• Speaking of money, get to the bank to deposit checks and get cash for the trip. Hardly ever use the cash but you just never know.
• Call my mom. Catch up and go over details for staying here while we're gone. Thanks, Mom!
• Call Beccah to say good-bye because she isn't able to go with us I'm so sad that she can't join us but so proud of her decision to stay home so she can work and pay her bills.
• Set aside costume item for Brandy for Friday's work Halloween party that I'm going to miss I'm so upset that I'm going to miss all the fun but I'm exchanging that for trick-or-treating with my nieces and nephew in New England on Blood St. Seriously, they trick-or-treat on Blood St. I know! How cool is that! 
• Change the sheets and towels. Throw the towels in the washer this time because last time they sat wet the whole time we were gone and they mildewed. Nast.
• Clean the bathroom. It seems like I'm always cleaning the bathroom.
• Swiffer and vacuum. I could do this every day. Love the way it makes me feel.
• Make sure the meds for Scout are handy. I actually thought about what it would be like if Scout died while we were gone. Not like he's even remotely close to it or anything but he's aging and that makes you think about him differently as in what would we do if he died while we were gone?
• Print out flight itineraries and call Maria to make sure we're all on the same page about flight times but really how could we not be we're all living for this reunion with one another and have been for weeks and weeks.
• Workout tomorrow morning on the elliptical one last good workout before the vacation.
• Decide which sweater to wear tomorrow. I just got my order from J.Jill today! OK, that's maybe not something that should go on my list, but it's a tough decision, friends, because they're all so cute! Love to get cute new clothes in the mail!
• Pack. High on my list of Least Favorite Things to Do in the Whole World--right next to laundry.
• Blog ahead. Let's keep the connection strong, blogfriends!

You forgot the part about "write blog to list all of the things I need to do" and then you can cross that one off immediately! I am terrible at making lists because I always put down things that I've already done. That makes me feel better about the progress I've made...before making the list. :-/

the leaves are absolutely spectacular right now Cath - and be sure to pack lots of warm sweaters - starting to get downright chilly out here. If you make it down across the border, I'd love to see you! Have a safe trip.

I love reading your to-do lists. I feel so connected to the life of Cath. :) I hope you have a fabulous vacation and reunion! And I'll echo what Alice said - even in PA it's very chilly!!!
