My To Do Checklist for 2014 (The last one is the biggest)

My goal for 2013 was a simple one - eat more fruit and vegetables.  I did really good on my daily quest of fresh fruit and raw veggies until we prepared to move and I got lax. 

I’m feeling bold for 2014 and I have multiple goals I want to reach.  But, hey, I have 12 months to get there, right?

• Finish the teal/brown quilt - I have it pinned, I just need to quilt and bind it.
• Finish butterfly quilt - Have a handful of squares to finish piecing.  Then they all need embroidered bodies.  Assemble, quilt, bind.
• Add more items to my etsy store - the owl wrist warmers remain popular and I enjoy doing them but I would like to add more mitts and a selection of hats to the store as well.   All of the money made from my store is tucked away for a special purpose (read on to see what).
• More 5Ks - It's harder to find them out here but I hope to be able to find at least 4 to be a part of.
• Visit Mt Rainier
• Visit Mt St Helen
• Visit Crater Lake
• Visit Moab
• Travel the Pacific Coast Highway from Portland to LA
• Get closer to buying a house - Cancer takes much, too much, but we are working very hard to be able to build or purchase a home to call ours once again.  Any little "extra" money that comes our way gets tucked for this purpose.  All of my "owl money" gets set aside too, so thank you for your purchases. :)  I don't think we will be able to make the purchase in 2014, but hopefully in 2015- we'll just keep trudging along. 

Playing Ketchup

Today I'm playing ketchup, er, um . . .catch-up.

• Although our vacation has been over since the first of June, and I have all the supplies I need, I have not even started the scrapbook for it. I hope to get at least one page done today.


• I'm behind on blog reading so I hope to make the rounds.


• I want to spend a few hours playing with my grandson - he's going on vacation this weekend and I won't see him for a week! :(


• Hubby might appreciate some clean clothes, so guess I can run some laundry while I do all of the above.


• The feeders are nearly empty so I better run and get some birdseed.


• I'm only a couple of chapters from finishing my book so maybe I can get some of reading done today too.  Hmmm, I do need to shave my legs, maybe I can soak in the tub, read, and shave - yeah, all at once.


• There are several folders of photos that I haven't even looked at, so I'm thinking I better take some time to do that.


• Send out a few 'thinking of you' cards, make a couple 'thinking of you' phone calls.


• Bathe the dogs - they really need to go get their nails trimmed, maybe I can fit that in.

Sounds like I may be up all night trying to accomplish a check mark for each item.

I had so much fun with Monday's post, reading all the comments about the various tattoos people have, some of you would never dream of getting one and some of you have a bunch, 8-10.  The comment section is a pretty good read if you find my to do list too boring or unfulfilling.
