QUICK THINGS TO DO TODAY:
– Need to rake leaves on your lawn yet (or better yet, have a kid do it?)
– Dust your bedroom really quickly, if needed. I don’t know about you, but my bedroom gets dusty so quickly. I have to dust one bookcase, two night tables, a wooden jewelry box and the “hope chest” my television sits on.
– Fill up with gas for the weekend; visit an ATM for cash if needed.
– Have you looked through your city’s local events/arts newspaper lately? It can give you really good ideas for fun things to do – upcoming concerts, plays, restaurants to try, etc. Today during my lunch break I’m going to read my copies of “Seattle Metropolitan” and “Seattle Magazine” for a little catching up on what’s going on in my city.
– Take inventory of pet food, and do a collar inspection. Are your pet’s collars fraying? dirty? Still reflective (for pets who go outdoors)
TODAY’S PROJECT: Halloween Preparation
If you’re throwing a party, you might have a lot of things to do today.
If you’re a mom, you might need to finish shopping or help your kids get their costumes ready.
Need to buy candy to give to trick-or-treaters, if you are staying home? Do you have music and movies ready to enjoy tomorrow night, if you aren’t going out to a party?
Need to give yourself a manicure before tomorrow? I’m painting my nails black, grey or blue to go with my Sally costume.
I’m going to a party tomorrow, and trying to cook up something fabulous and Halloween-y to bring as my contribution. Tonight I’ll make sure my “Sally” costume (from Nightmare Before Christmas) fits, and I’ll probably practice the makeup I’ll wear on Halloween. I won’t do any cleaning projects today or tomorrow, so I expect to be a bit busy on Sunday.
