Happy Monday my friends! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was one of those that kind of took on a life of its own. Let’s just say not everything went according to plan, but some things did get done. Here’s the update:

Play List:

  • Boot Camp. Check!
  • Get together with friends. We went to a trivia night—our first one—and had a great time. Lots of fun.
  • Go to Kailea’s basketball game. Check!

Okay…so far so good, but here’s where things started to get dicey.

To Finish:

  • Laundry. What I discovered was that doing a load a day during the week, didn’t lead to as much laundry breathing room over the weekend as I had anticipated. Darn! I sort of thought it would be easy to get to empty laundry basket status on Sunday since I had done so much during the week. Instead, I discovered that wasn’t the case. So now I need to decide if I’m okay with laundry not being caught up every Sunday. Maybe I’ll pick a different day in the middle of the week as my empty hamper day. I’ll keep you posted on this exciting development…
  • Continue with paper projects in my office.  Nope. This one didn’t happen…
  • Calcium research. Yep. I put together a little calcium tracker form so I can keep track of how much I get calcium I get each day. I also did some basic research to get a feel for which foods have how much calcium, and added this to my little form. All that’s left to do now is eat a whole lotta yogurt and cheese every day. 😉
  • Check out mint.com.  First, much thanks to everyone who shared comments and recommendations on mint and other solutions. I really appreciate your thoughts and comments. Second, this task is the one that kind of unraveled the rest of the weekend. Here’s what happened. I wanted to download the iPad ap for mint and discovered it requires ios5, so I needed to upgrade. Well…that didn’t exactly go so well as I lost my aps and some data. Most of this can be restored, since luckily my iPad is new and there isn’t much on it. But the biggest loss was all of my lists on Remember the Milk. (Note to self, next time make sure everything is synced before upgrading operating systems!) So my time was spent doing the upgrade and freaking out that my lists were lost, as opposed to actually checking out mint.
  • Attend a basketball meeting. Check!
  • Plan weekly meals. Check!
  • Research paint for “new” chairs. Well, I brought home a can of spray paint and decided it isn’t the right color. So…back to the store I will go.
  • Pinterest to-do:  Make Martha’s tub scrub. Okay…this was the big hit of the weekend. This tub scrub really works! This was truly one of the highlights of my weekend. (Which I do realize is kind of sad, but it really made my tub so white and clean! And I really like it when things work.)

So there you have it, my Monday check-in. How did your weekend go? Thanks so much for joining me this weekend! See you back here on Friday. 🙂
