To do, not done…
I had a written a to do list for the weekend (and had some other mental notes made for more to do) and yet it is nearing the end of the weekend and I have not done any of them really.
The list consisted of things like
- Decide on a costume for Dani`s 80`s birthday party next weekend and come up with something for Shun
- Tidy my room and start sorting through stuff that needs to be sent back to Japan
- Go see a movie with Shun
- Email/facebook message about seven different people (so if you are reading and waiting for a return message from me I am sorry!)
-Complete the wording for invitations and inputting all the names and addresses into an excelt spreadsheet to give to the invitation lady (Thankfully this one is almost done, just need 4 more addresses)
- Walk twice and do some hooping (I did a bit of hooping yesterday- but no walks for the weekend)
- Add more to my recipe book so that I could return the books I borrowed from mum.
- Do two loads of washing including sheets and towels (okay I did these, except the sheets are still waiting to be hunt out and it is after 7pm)
- Sit down with Shun and figure out what documents we will need from Japan to register our marriage and apply for a spouse visa for myself. Also start filling in the forms for a new passport for me.
- Do a food shop.
Instead I did the following
- Go shopping with mum and meet with a milliner (in case I decide to get birdcage veil or facinator made for the wedding) and to get some ideas
- Bought bridesmaid shoes for the bridesmaids (and they are cute!)
- Bought some cherry blossoms to incorporate into the decorations at the wedding reception.
- Surfed the net for birdcage veils, cherry blossom flowers, facinators and other inspirational wedding type things.
- Blew my diet- okay this is not true, I stuck to points except for the choclate today perhaps, but I barely did any exercise. I did walk just under 10,000 steps though yesterday because of the shopping and I did some hooping last night.
- Watched some soccer on TV and then some My Name is Earl with Shun.
- Bought 25 books or so at the lifeline bookfest for just over $100 (more stuff to ship to Japan- GAH!)
And now it is after 7pm and I really do not feel like doing anything much. In fact, I will probably spend the rest of the night on the net and/or watching TV. Hopefully next weekend will be more productive. Or perhaps I could try and get some of the stuff on this list done during the week (food shopping is a must- I did manage to get some fruit, bread and yogurt though for lunches!)
Next weekend is a long weekend in Australia for Australia Day. Apart from Dani`s party on the Saturday night we have no plans but I guess what I don`t get done during the week on my to-do-list will then become next weekends to-do list. I just feel that sometimes the to-do lists are never ending though…(as much as I love a good list!)

Don’t be so hard on yourself! Be kind instead! You did quite a bit and what you did do was important! Weekends are so short and always go too quickly! You’ll catch up with the rest of the stuff during the week or next weekend when you are less busy and have more time! At least you had fun!
Here’s what I DID: Went food shopping, did some cleaning, went to movies to see The Curious Tale of Benjamin Button (it was awesome), had friend over for dinner, driving lesson, napped, went to brother’s house with Mum to look after nephew.
and what I DIDN”T do: washing, more cleaning, mowing, upload songs on i-Pod (Still!)…
Oh well…I’m glad I did the things I did because they were fun! the other stuff needs to be done, but it’s not important so it can wait!
haha I get tired (but in a good way) just from reading your lists! its good to get it all written out through! i do that too
btw – i know you are super busy but lets try to skype sometime in the next week or 2… I think its been over 2 months since we last talked!!!
