I am thinking this prompt is meant to spark people on your "A list," but being a teacher with time to do a few things since I have 6 days off before I head back for a few days, I am more about "a list" of things to do...finish scrubbing the deck so I can stain/seal it for the first time in way too many years (and pondering whether I can replace some boards on my own, which I think I can...); painting door and window trim out front- first time in 13.5 years; and scraping rust/painting front stairwell rails for the first time probably ever (I won't count the time I took some leftover spray paint from a project and sprayed over rust stains, and got some on the house, which is still there); and, weeding what used to be a garden ten years ago...still never got around to planting grass so every year it is an enormous weed jungle. Determined to get to the dump and Goodwill too. I'd say I am cleaning out whatever is under these couches (old frames and whatnot) but that isn't going to happen...possibility of finally moving the shelf from the bedroom to the basement, but that is one of those jobs that to do it you have to do like three other jobs with it so alas, that probably isn't going to happen either! Number one job- some time with my kids! Have a date with her to do some college shopping, don't wanna wait til everyone else is doing it (unfortunately by then I am pretty much back at work) and want her to get excited and maybe it will inspire her to behave all summer (I can wish)! I would love a night on the deck with a fire in the chimnea but alas, this is Maryland, where we go from 40 degrees to 85 degrees and no nights in between for such things, unless you want to roast yourself!
