Baby steps

I've been sitting on a number of large 'to dos' this year. 

My hope, is that by putting them out there, I - or in many cases we -will finish them before 2011.
  1. Write and file a will.
  2. Buy plants, harvest the compost bin and plant plants on patio. (Our weather is the sucks so this one is on hold.)
  3. Research, browse and test drive cars. Purchase.
  4. Figure out frame set-up for living room wall. Purchase frames. Hang them.
  5. Select and purchase storage ottoman for living room.
  6. Arrange for charity pick-up of coffee table that ottoman is replacing.
  7. Clean out and organize kitchen.
  8. Clean out and organize large entry way closets.
  9. Finish Charlotte's 'first year' book.
A few of these are going to hit the pocketbook.  And then there's the car.  I still need to figure out our budget for that purchase. Yikes. 

I would love to complete them all ASAP - that's how I get stuff done.  Unfortunately, the shear size and number of things is overwhelming.

Instead, I'm breaking them down.  A few baby steps each weekend. 

This weekend: car budget, start car browsing, design a few frame layouts, harvest compost
Next weekend: buy frames, select ottoman size and maybe buy plants and plant

Wish us luck!
