Hi Rosebud. Thanks for starting the thread, again, today. If you can fix the date, I think you accidently put the 24th instead of 25th... Looks like your already off to a fine start on your list. Have a great day, Rosebud. I'm reposting my same list from yesterday, but deleted the done things... Todos (not in order & some of this definitely won't happen today but hoping for this holiday weekend):  1)Laundry (2 new loads start to finish) -- Didn't finish 2 extra loads from yesterday, so.... folded load of laundry & put that away, moved load into dryer, folded & put away..
:)2)DS to finish taking practice SAT -- 1 done, but he is going to do another one.
:)3)cook meatloaf
:)4)dishes
:)5)take DD to friend's house -- DH did this one due to my headache.
:)6)dress2shoes.
7)clean out cabinet in kitchen (will, need to remove shelf paper & put new in & wipe off items & put in...have already gone thru/decluttered everything & removed them & keepers have been sitting in 2 boxes on my kitchen floor for over a week since plumbers came out to fix leak. Also, already got rid of poison type chemicals thru city's chemical pick up and already tossed a bunch).
:)8)pick up DD-- DH did this, too!
9)resolve issue with utility company...changing companies and/or plan. Got paperwork out & discussed issues with DH, he is doing more research...
10)clean bathrooms .
11)vacuum entire house
12)Totally declutter orange chair
13)clear area in between my side of the bed & dresser -- totally cluttered have stretching really far to reach alarm clock & tiny, tiny path down some of that area...the rest can't see the floor much less walk there
14)dust my nightstand which has years worth!
15)Get accordion file ready to sort receipts as I go

:)22)drink lots of water
23)shopping with DS for tennis shoes(his have big chunk that wore off & they are falling apart & he's been too busy to shop)
:)24)buy DS new backpacking pack -- Decided not to buy, but get his repaired since we cannot seem to find one with external frame locally. Will likely save us money too!
25)buy DS new hiking boots
26)take DD shopping for bras whether or not she wants to
27)buy shorts for working out for me
:)28)email DD's flute teacher
