Mid-week Musings


Ever since I wrote out my summer to do list on individual Post-Its, I've slowly whittled my 20ish hearts down to about five.  This little tactic really motivated me.....



Yes, I had my bouts of laziness.  But overall, it gave me a visual of what I wanted/needed to accomplish.  And I could prioritize by moving my list around.

Throwing the hearts away was the best part of all.

Of course, I have a few huge projects left.  But July isn't over yet.

Annnnd we can park BOTH cars in the garage now.  This.  Is.  Huge.

Yesterday I got to hang out with not only one new blog friend, but TWO!

I spent the afternoon with Hello Sweet World!  We hit up Starbucks and a few thrift stores.  We both share a love for hoarding vintage. 

Then last night I got to sweat with Lauren at Zumba!  This wasn't our first meeting, but it was our first on-purpose gathering.  And I didn't attack her this time. 

Two super cool girls (and blogs).  I love making new friends!

Annnd lastly.  If you read last Friday's post, you might remember reading about a crime scene down the street.

Well, the plot thickens.  There was, in fact, a body in the trash can.

Awesome.

Maybe instead of refinancing, we should begin a house hunt!?!

  5. Such a great idea, the post it notes! Another thing on my to do list.

    I completely understand how you feel about the wanting to move after your block is a crime scene. A year ago, I lived in a loft apartment. My neighbor beside me decided to murder his pregnant girlfriend. Such an awful thing to go through. I couldn't live there anymore without thinking about it each time I came home. needless to say, we moved.

  6. This is a fantastic idea. I am a really visual person so this would be perfect for me. This may well replace all the random to do lists I have lying around my apartment.

  7. I love the paper heart motivation. A body in a trash can is not something you want to hear happening in your neighborhood...OMG!

  14. Those poor discarded hearts :). This is a great idea. I love the idea of feeling like you have a sense of accomplishment at being able to mark something off of the list or throw a heart away.

  15. I just want to hang with you for a junkin' day. I know we'd have a great time - hopefully without dead bodies ;0
