I'm going to have to hurry if I want to get this posted before midnight . . .

It's been over a week and I am still keeping all my resolutions.  Yeah for me!

I think the late night book reading may have been the cause of my fuzziness.  I put down my book, For Whom the Bell Tolls, as soon as I got sleepy last night and had a great night sleep.  I'm feeling so good today that I was able to accomplish a lot on my Dreaded To Do List. 

Besides tidying the house I spent several hours on my second manuscript, which I have decided to give the working title "Sketch Book".  I spent a couple of hours working on my family tree.  I had to pull out another table to set up my family tree project.  Yep, I'm back to projects pulled out all over the place.  I love it.


I even spent some time working on my tablecloth.

 I just cranked the tunes all day . . . my excuse was that I was testing the cd's to make sure they still worked and of course I dusted them while I was at it.  I listened to everything from Piano Promenade  to Across the Universe and sang along whether I knew the words or not.

I also completed 6 scrapbooking layouts today.

Karaoke Night - January 2009
This is the page kit I made for our recent black and white swap

This was a quick layout since it was made a long time ago.  I finally have the perfect photo to put on it.  Hal and I dressed up as Super Grandma and Super Grandpa and went out trick or treating - 2009

We stopped at several friends homes to trick or treat.  This is another premade layout, actually a class sample, that just needed some photos to finish it off.

This is 100% new today.  I've been holding on to this patterned paper for quite a while waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it. 
Had a quick call from Hal tonight.  They are back in Northern Ontario and he says the weather has been bad everywhere.  Good thing Hal likes bad weather.  I think in another life he must have been a tornado chaser.

Some very exciting news today.  My oldest son coaches a CYO boys basketball team in London and my oldest grandson plays on the team.  They played in a tournament in London this weekend.  You may recall that I posted some photos yesterday.  Anyway . . . THEY WON!!!!!!!!

Well its almost midnight and I want to have another early night so I can be just as productive tomorrow.  Nighty night.

p.s. It is December 7th according to the Dreaded To Do List . . . not bad . . . finished off 1 week of chores in 1 day.

  1. Wow, actually tackling the To-Do List and working on projects too. I have several projects I need to work on, genealogy being one of them, but keep putting them off.

    You are setting a good example.

Here’s How To Cook This Springtime Veggie Properly Fiddleheads are a Canadian delicacy, but undercooking them can lead to food poisoning by Amy Grief  Updated Apr 9, 2019 Fiddlehead season is short, so when you see the adorable green curlicues at your grocery store or farmers’ market, buy them while you can.
