Casa Petrie

Before Miss Petrie Deux was born, I was cleaning, organizing and remodeling like a fiend!  This week I have been putting pressure on myself to get some work done.  I’m a list girl and if I don’t write something down (then subsequently cross it off), it weighs on me.  The way I do the list process is that I write down everything I want to do in the forseeable future.  If something doesn’t get accomplished, it just gets moved to the next month’s list.  This works for me.

August & September Goals

• Get my hair cut.  I have not had my hair cut since the end of December!  Ridiculous. Finally, I took the time and I got my hair cut.  Perhaps I will be brave and post pictures!
• Take yard stuff to the dump.
• Order a new garbage can from the city.  The city will have someone come out to fix it.  I was hoping for a new one, but I know this should work, too.
• Weed in the back and front yard. We did the front yard this past weekend and I did the back yard this week.  I also added some mulch to the ground for additional weed protection.
• Put a few high end items on eBay.  I’ve never done this before.
• Prime and paint the ensuite bathroom cabinet.  I’m thinking white.
• Finish removing rock from the ground in the backyard and replace it with mulch.
• Start collecting color ideas for painting the exterior house trim.
• Price out exterior shutters for added curb appeal.  Collect paint color options for the shutters.
• Remove lots and lots and lots of yucky bushes from the front yard.
• See an advisor for my graduate program.  I have some ideas for my thesis and I need to start taking elective classes to support it.

This is in addition to daily and weekly activities that keep our household moving.  I’m testing out a new cleaning system which I will let you know about very soon.  So far, so good!

Have a productive day.
