Productive Days!

Gotta love the days that you get everything...or even nearly everything off those "to do" lists! This past weekend was one of those times! The list wasn't completely looked after, but it felt like we got a good chunk done...including re-painting a portion of the house, which was not on the list until next month! I don't know about you, but I can get pretty bogged down with other things during the day and tend to "stray from the course" of the plan I make over coffee first thing in the morning. I always start out with the best intentions, but then the phone will ring and it will be someone I haven't spoken with for ages and really want to catch up with, or it will be a volunteer event that I am planning that needs a last minute detail to be dealt with, or my puppy is tossing her Kozie Kong toy on my lap while I am typing because she wants to play (and who can say no to that face...)! Yes, the time that is not dealing with staging or decor projects - the time that should be devoted to office management, household chores, and yard work can be taken up pretty quickly by other things. So when there is a day or weekend that is truly productive, it feels phenomenal - and this was the perfect weekend for it to happen... The in-laws will be here on Thursday for a few days - am really looking forward to having them! And because of this past weekend, the few remaining "chores" to get finished in preparation for the visit seem like nothing... I actually have a bit of time to plan some meals and sightseeing for them!
