Happy Monday my Finish It Friday friends! I hope you had a great weekend. I’m in that “Gee, I’ve been gone for a week” kind of place right now—getting back into the swing of things slowly but surely. Here’s my update on my Finish It Friday lists.
Play List
- Hang out with my Dad on Saturday. Check! And we had such a wonderful time together.
To Finish
- Unpack. 🙂 Check!
- Start + finish laundry. Umm…not so much. I actually laughed when I read that this was on my list just now. Really? I thought I would come home and do laundry yesterday? Clearly I wasn’t remembering that we would be gone last evening and that I would be in need of a nap yesterday afternoon. So…the laundry has been moved forward to today’s to-do list. Oh well…no one went naked today. So no biggie. 🙂
How did you do with your to-do list this weekend? I hope it was a great weekend for you, filled with fun and getting things done. I’m looking forward to next weekend already…a weekend at home with no major events. Hooray! Have a terrific Monday.

Family movie night with pizza – Fun!
Family room curtain redo: Dramatic Fail! I actually did get the materials and the measuring tape out and spend half an hour going back and forth with my dh about whether this or that would look good, etc. But in the end I wasn’t sure how to accomplish, sewing-wise, what I wanted to do. And I was too darned tired from working all day Friday and Sat. at the library to jump in and improvise. Would not have been wise. So it’ll have to go onto the list for another time.
Family pizza night went as scheduled. DD & DH cooked everything while I worked on taxes 🙂
DS’s team won their game 🙂
Two out of three tax returns are filed. As soon as I talk to my oldest son later on today, the third one will also be a done deal!
