Project Friday

My day so far has consisted of nothing that shows proof I did anything. I dropped my daughter off at school, I worked on my advent collage for yesterday, I ran errands to the bank and grocery store. And then I remembered: It's Project Friday!

Last week I decided that getting something done one week at a time would help cross off those long procrastinated projects on my never-ending lists.

My book is done! I actually posted on the side bar. I will seriously have to find another self-publisher because while you can purchase my lovely book, I don't know of many people willing to spend $25 on a children's book. A bit steep. But if you have money to toss my way, I will take it. However, in the meantime, I will look for another place to get it published for less.

But that was a project I put off for YEARS.

This week I have another project I have put off for years. I think about it several times a week, but I never think of it when I have spare time.

Organize my recipe binder.

If you are anything like me, there are handwritten recipes, there are printed out recipes, there are recipes you don't recognize all crammed into a binder that is ripped and worn.

Splotches of oil, grease, and food that you're not quite sure you could identify are smeared on the pages and what once showed order and care, now shows chaos and crazy.

Like my daughter once said to me "mom, your crazy is showing". Well, today it's showing all over my recipe binder.

My goal for this week is to go through that binder, type up recipes that are scribbled on looseleaf, organize runaways and actually be able to look in the dessert section and not find "meatloaf" beside cheesecake.

Looking for meals shouldn't be this hard.

I'm also adding another project on my list because I envision the recipe fiasco taking just 2 days. I'm adding "purge the bathroom". We would like to sell this house in a year, and I really don't think I need to hang onto the expired medication that litters my cabinets. That and I always wonder why there isn't enough drawers in my bathroom...it looks like we should have enough...

I hate moving. And the one thing I hate more than moving, is moving all the crap I've collected that I don't really want but I keep moving it with me. Now's the time to be rid of such nonsense!!

So Project Friday concludes with:

1) Recipe Binder
2) Bathroom Purge

Beautiful. Organization? Peace? Could this be within my grasp?

Project Friday Week 2 BEGINS!
