It's been a long time

since I posted a to-do list. That must be why I haven't been getting anything done. :) Seriously, I feel that I just mope around and tidy randomly. I need to light the fire under myself again.

So, this week (or more likely month), here's what I'd like to get done.

* Organize, separate, and create many scrapbook pages. I literally have a five inch pile of pictures waiting for me that stretch back into spring of last year. I need to jot down the journalling while it's fresh too.

* Read at least a couple of books that have been on my "to read" shelf in my room for at least a year. Yikes Jessica.

* Write down all of the food storage that is scattered around the house and tucked in here and there. It doesn't do me much good if I'm not sure what is hidden.

* Drink more water

* Do the Pilates DVD that just arrived from amazon more than once. :)

* Cook at least four of the dishes from my new cookbook that Joie gave me for Christmas.

* take more baths and use the sugar scrub I have.

* keep up the effort of potty-training my little toilet resister. Wish me luck.

More fun

On the tail-end of our little excursion up north, we stayed and visited with my sister and her husband. In order to keep the young child entertained, they thought it would be fun to do a mini-self-tour of Union Station and all the cool retired trains that are outside. Tyson was in train heaven. He was tickled pink. Luckily he had a really tall uncle to lift him up to places I would never dream of seeing.

There were some pretty neato trains. My sisters and I loved this train with its swirls and fanciments. Wouldn't it be a cool backdrop for pictures?

Later that night, we drove into town and visited a city park that still had lights and Christmas stuff out. By the time this picture was taken I'm pretty sure we were all freezing.
