A Fun Day Today and Getting Ready for Next Week

Today is going to be a great, fun day, and all free too!

A small town that is less than 5 minutes away is celebrating their 175th anniversary today and on August 9, I believe. (I'll have to check the other date, just to be sure. )

Today they are offering guided tours of the local church, Catholic School (which my son attends) and other points of interest. There will be an outside settlers display at the school, and at a local lake there will be classic 1920's picnic games, music, etc.

It's something we've been looking forward to for a few months now and it's definitely going to be a great time.

Ok, so on to planning for next week. I mentioned to you all that I was going to be doing a 52 weeks of organizing challenge. I have most of my list made up, and tomorrow I will be posting a before photo of the area I will be working on next week.

In case you're interested, here is the site that is hosting the event. I'm not doing mine along with them, but the idea definitely came from there. :) http://orgjunkie.com/52-weeks

So, just for fun, here is my list so far.

1. desk in den
2. top of piano
3. bookshelf in den
4. shelves in den
5. computer desk
6. top of entertainment centre
7. pantry
8. phone table
9. kitchen junk drawer #1
10. kitchen junk drawer #2
11. kitchen junk drawer #3
12. kitchen junk drawer #4
13. bathroom closet
14. linen closet
15. closet under stairs
16. ds's closet
17. coat closet
18. vanity in downstairs bathroom
19. cupboard over washing machine
20. kitchen cupboards left
21. kitchen cupboards right
22. recipe drawer
23. tupperware drawer
24. cat food stand
25. master bedroom closet
26. my dresser
27. ds's dresser
28. cupboard under sink
29. cupboard over pantry
30. cupboard over stove
31. dresser in master bedroom #2
32. recycle shelf
33. curio cabinet in kitchen

That's all I have for now. But, like I said before, I'm pretty sure that by the time I finish what I have so far, I'll be needing to get back to the first things on the list. :) I'm hoping not. I hope that I'll be able to keep things clean and organized, make new habits, that sort of thing. But as much as I am a very positive person, I'm also a bit of a realist.

If there is anyone out there who wants to join me, I'd love to have some company while I'm organizing! Leave a comment here or email me at Scootchidoo@gmail.com and I'll figure out a way to link us all together. :)
