Wow – did this week fly by for you, too? Here we are again at Friday…a weekend brimming with possibility just hours away. How will you spend yours? I’d love it if you would join me for Finish It Friday and share your weekend plans in the comments. Let’s have some fun and get some things done together. Here’s what’s on tap for me…
Play List
- Basketball tournament. This weekend’s tournament is right here in town which means less travel but two shifts working at the concession stand. Fun! (Really, I love basketball.)
- Boot camp. This will be my seventh week going to boot camp! I’m seriously excited that fitness is a part of my life again. Hooray!
To Finish
- Clean house. I started last night and it feels great to not have all of the cleaning to do this weekend. Yay, for that.
- Laundry. Also started last night…but wow, there’s a lot of laundry this week. Not sure what’s up with that, but I’m looking forward to having this one checked off the list this week.
- Do some planning for my trip to Michigan later this month.
- Compile tax documents.
- Begin summer planning.
Now it’s your turn—what are you up to this weekend? Thanks for sharing!!
By the way…remember last week when I mentioned that I might have a little surprise for my Finish It Friday friends? Well, I have one more set of my three books—and so I drew a winner from last week’s Finish It Friday participants. The winner is Juliana Whisman! Congratulations Juliana — please email me at aby @ simplify 101 dot com for details on getting your books!! Thanks to everyone who participates in Finish It Friday…you just never know when I might pull something like this again. 😉
