Tasks

I've been quite lazy recently. Lazier than I have been in a while.

I've let the house go. Really, who wants to clean the house when there is a smiling baby to look at?

I've let myself go. I am in need of a bang trim (I'd love to let them grow all the way out, but I was blessed? with a huge forehead). I also need a brow wax. But again, who wants to go to the salon when there is a smiling baby to play with?

I've let my plants die. Okay, they are on the verge of death. I need to water them, and I can easily do that while still watching my baby smile. No excuses! Technically I suppose this fits under the part about letting my house go.

I've not updated my blog or Facebook account in while. I think I still have a MySpace page too, but it's been a very loooooooooong time since I've done anything with it. Really, I'm only here blogging now because the cute, smiling baby is currently asleep.

But this post is not merely about how lazy I have been. This post is meant to inspire me. To motivate me. I really must clean this house or else I'm afraid someone will call the health department, who will then take away my cute, smiling baby.

Therefore, I have some goals to set and am using a public forum for support and accountability. I will not post again until I have tended to this house, spoiled myself at the salon, watered my plants, and updated my various social networking accounts!

Yeah, right.

I'd never blog again if I really held myself to these standards. I do intend to do the following very, very soon: (or at some point in the distant future...whichever comes first)

*Paint one wall in my kitchen red. Mom is coming out Sept. 3 and this will be the perfect time to paint, much to her chagrin.

*Open a Shutterfly account and send you all the link. This way I can easily post multiple pictures of my cute, smiling baby for all to see!

*Finally make a decision regarding window coverings. I've mentioned before that our house is a work-in-progress house. I have an overall vision of how I want things to look, but I wait and wait to do or buy anything until I've found the PERFECT, EXACTLY WHAT I WANT look. And I'm picky, so this process has taken longer than planned.

*Paint my living room and hallway. I also need to find rugs for the hall.

*Tile the walls in my kitchen between my counter and cupboards. This has been waiting to be done for over a year now. This might be the perfect example of my pickiness and laziness....I've actually selected the tile and grout I want, but haven't done anything else to help me accomplish this task.

I suppose it's time to quit making my list and do something on it!

Or, I might just go play with my cute, smiley boy.
