I am so looking forward to the 3-day weekend that I’m giddy. Not only will I get to spend time with my family, but I’ll get to sleep in (oh so nice) and get to some projects that I’ve been wanting to do for about the past month but haven’t had literally a spare moment for. And with that, here’s my laundry, uh, to-do list:

1. Fix the ding-dang doorbell that won’t dong
2. Paint the top of my garden shed the appropriate color – yellow.
3. Match the paint in my bedroom around the patch for the new light switch I installed last weekend (or should I say, my husband gets the kudos for that one!
4. Fix the broken tile on my garden border that the kids knocked off by dancing on top of it.
5. Put a funky border of pressed tin on my neighbor’s ice cream shop sign without ruining it (yes, the same ice cream shop that the specials menu is for – see last week’s post).
6. Paint the gawd-awful faceplate for my front door intercom.
7. Now I’d also love to clean and reseal the slate tiles on my patio, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen this weekend. :-)
8. Then on Sunday morning, we’re all going to the firehouse to have a pancake breakfast with some hunky firemen! My hubby doesn’t mind a little gawking!

Is it just me or are most women into list making? I thought I was a completely anal person for my incessant list-making, but then I learned that a lot of my friends do the same thing because we don’t want to forget what we have to do. But why is it that not many men make lists? Perhaps they just live more in the moment and we’re constantly living in the past or the future? I’m working on that ‘live in the moment’ thing, perhaps I’ll add it to my list.
