Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! It was a fast one around here…but a good one, too. Here’s how it all turned out…
fun
- boot camp. Check! And this week I’m seriously wondering why I categorize this as fun. The way my muscles felt yesterday was anything but fun.
- hang out with Kailea. Check! Friday night we made cards together. She made cards to send to Jay and me while she is at camp and I made cards to send to her. I think writing her letters is my favorite thing about her going to camp, because being away from her for a whole week isn’t so much fun. (It’s all coming back to me now.)
done
- finish packing for camp. I’m sure this will involve a quick run to Target. I was wrong: this involved two trips to Target. Didn’t realize she needed the 2-in-1 shampoo for camp. Guess we’ll add that to the checklist for next year.
- clean. Check!
- laundry. Two loads – check!
- unpack some boxes from Michigan. My mom sent me home with some of her crystal…lots of boxes (hoping she used bubble wrap generously!) Okay, so what totally cracks me up is how much that last comment came back to haunt me as I unwrapped the crystal. You have never seen so much bubble wrap in one place in your life. So the crystal now has a home—that was the easy part. I’m still trying to figure out what to do with all of that bubble wrap!
- schedule eye exams. Check!
- schedule mammogram. Check!
The weekend flew by, but it was a nice one! Hope yours was great, too. Can’t wait to hear about it in the comments!
Hope you & Kailea both enjoy her week at camp!
Around here, the UPS Store will take bubble wrap, peanuts, molded styrofoam – any of that kind of packing material. It’s also a lot of fun to just lay out a big sheet of bubble wrap & jump up & down on it, but not so environmentally friendly as recycling it…
Thanks RazzBari, I didn’t know the UPS store would take bubble wrap. Thanks for the info! ~ Aby

Love the journal. What a cute idea. And the cards! It never fails when my daughter goes off to camp. They are pretty remote so I just see her in a week.
While I didn’t post my check list on Friday, I have been off from work for a week now. Tomorrow is surgery day, so I have been trying to get things done before surgery. Still have more laundry to do but did several loads, bought food for the pup and kitty so stocked up there.
With a 2-4lb limit for a while, need to make sure I am good to go. While my husband will be around to help sometimes you don’t want to have to ask for help!
Thanks, Lisa!
April, I hope surgery goes well and that you heal quickly. Take care!

Question??? The lists that y’all are posting, is that a list for the weekend? Or just Friday?
I’m getting organized slowly but surely around here. It’s certainly not my gifting, but a skill that can be learned. And I AM learning. :o)
I really enjoy this blog.
@ Fiona’s Mosaic,
It is the weekend to-do list…we just post it on Friday. Want to join this Friday?
Congrats on the progress you’re making with your organizing!

so I don’t have a list to post but I wanted to comment on the bubble wrap… does your area have “craigslist”? try posting it in the free section. one of my friends got most of her boxes & packing material that way before her recent move.
