    Weekend Bookmarking, Anyone?

    Anybody else want to set some priorities for the weekend, then report back on Sunday or Monday how we did?

    Here are mine:

    Grade 18 essays
    Walk my neighborhood loop three times
    Do five hours of tidying up/cleaning/decluttering in my house

    There are a zillion other things I need to do, but if I complete those three, that's good.

    This weekend I pretty much just have Maker Faire, however I typically do that. I can come up with a list that is too long or too short (like I don't end up with clean clothes or lunches) but there is a sweet spot. I also take half a day over the weekend and 'check out' of email, facebook, news, etc. I may put on music and do chores around here but it still feels like a break.

    I have to take my five quilts to the drop off point for the quilt show next week. At least an hour round trip. Will try and hit the used book store and the thrift shop before coming home. Right after that, I have to deliver brownies to the police community hot dog event at the end of our block. Going to be good weather.

    Tomorrow, exercise at 11 and then really need to do house cleaning and cooking for next week. Requires stripping the chicken carcass and making stock and roasting cauliflower and other veggies.

    In addition to my usual weekend tasks (housework, laundry, strip/make bed, houseplant care, lettuce/salads for work week, trim cats' claws), I would like to accomplish the following:
    Complete at least 6 work-related tasks
    Wash at least 5 windows
    Wash a batch of curtains
    Wash at least 4 window screens
    Cut back huge Baptisia plants in the garden
    Root cuttings from my wonderful Plectranthus "Mona Lavender" plant

    I have 4 hours volunteer work I need to complete today, cleaning out community gardens for the winter, as part of my Master Gardener program.

    Also
    --Make client changes to a presentation I have to give on Tuesday
    --Make edits to a discussion guide for ethnographies I'm doing next week
    --Start a report for another project
    --Clean the house
    --Help BIL pack so he can have everything OUT of the house by Monday night.
    --Read for pleasure

    - hit the farmer's market (gonna go waste money on pickled green beans and see what produce looks good this week)
    - donate a couple things to the thrift - slow decluttering, it's ok though, single income no kids, living in studio and one bedroom apartments, isn't really the kind of lifestyle that always leads to bags upon bags of stuff to donate anyway, so if it's a bit at a time so what
    - work on a document I need to edit

    usual: dishes, laundry, buy groceries, prob cook for bf etc.
    Trees don't grow on money

    Just realized the title of this thread should be Weekend BookENDing. I was tired when I wrote that last night! And now I can't figure out how to edit the title.

    Anyway, glad to have so much company!

    I got six essays graded yesterday, and I walked.

    Did 30 minutes of tidying up.

    It's a start.

    Out of which house? Did you sell the one you all coowned? Have an offer, etc?
    Or is he moving out of YOUR house?
