Week 9 of the Wednesday Lists. I just love putzing around my house doing little organizing projects. For me, though, one project always leads to the next. The house always looks like the closets threw up before I finish with them. This spring break is all about balance. We play a little, read a little, hike a little, watch a movie, piddle with house projects. It's great. And cheap. And productive.

Enjoying every ounce of this spring and spending time with my Grandmother and other loved ones.
It makes you feel good to get so much accomplished.
Love you

Wow you have been busy! I haven't had my Spring break yet, but the (as yet) unwritten list is growing in my head. Qwirkle is a good name for a game.
Relyn, that's a lot of stuff! I really need to clean up my iTunes, too, but I just can't seem to prioritize it. Yesterday I more or less caught up with my emails . . . and then everyone wrote me back! I have ten books to enter into my Goodreads; oh dear, I've already lost the plot!
Do ever sleep late and then read in bed?
You are a bundle of energy. Next stop...my house!
I'm exhausted just from reading your list. How did you get all that done in one spring break? Do you ever sleep?
Are you kidding me? Oh my!
I want some of whatever keeps you going!
xoxo
Debi
wow - that's a lot for a week - good luck with it
If I thought about it, I'd probably come up with a list like this, but just looking at it makes me tired! Good luck!
I'm with Debi, holy cow girl, I need some of whatever it is your having! fantabulous list.
Oh Gal ~
You are being so productive ~ my list... is so so simple and lazy compared to yours. You are the Queen of energy and zest, I am totally convinced! Here's to you darling!
I became more and more impressed the longer the first list got, Relyn. Good for you!
You've been BUSY Relyn! And spring is only really just starting... Spring is hardly here where I am...LOL! I'm just getting over a cold...*sniff*... But can't wait to tear into some spring cleaning of the house--open the window, get some air in, clean those window, clean linen & curtains, sort through cupboard...Oh, yes, can't wait! :o) We have out garage to sort out too--how quickly it becomes more than just car storage--LOL! Happy Day, my friend ((HUGS))
Hi Relyn
Well, I'm just pooped reading your lists!
I always love your lists. Buying spring candles, love it. I hope it was a good spring break.
...you accomplished more in a week than I do in 3 months!...and now I know who to go to when I need help with organizing and updating my ITunes:)...
Can people actually see you or are you a whirlwind that passes through? Holy Cow, to have that energy! Is the 'list' the secret? Once it is made there's no stopping you?
That must feel so satisfying to have a done list that is longer than your to do list!
If you could please bottle some of that energy you have and send it my way, it would be greatly appreciated.
That looks like a year's worth of tasks! You are impressive.
Love the idea of your closets throwing up! I told someone my house looked like it had been ransacked and robbed -- I shotgun clean or maybe it's cleaning with ADD and it always gets very bad before it gets better!
i love that you wrote out your completed list. i do that as well so that i can actually live with accomplishment instead of just looking at the million things i SHOULD do.
(okay, a bit of truth...i also write things down on my to-do list that i've already done just so i can cross them off.)
I love your lists and I love how you show the crossed off version as well! Sounds like your spring break was very productive! Hope you enjoyed every minute of it!!!
