One of these days, I'm gonna get organiz-ized

[llcoolvad]

So I've made some progress on my To Do list. and now I'm going to set myself a goal for completion: I want to have 85% of what's on the list done before I go on vacation August 17th. I don't want to spend my whole vacation doing dumb things. I've got about 44% of the list done now. That's been two weeks or so since I started, and there's two weeks til vacation. I've been adding to it quite a bit, so I'll probably add more before I'm done, but right now there are about 60 things on the list. I've completed approximately 25 things, more or less.

I think this weekend will contain kitchen & bathroom & floors day! That will knock off almost everything Mom-related.

Here's what I probably won't do: most of the book reading (just aren't enough hours between now and then! plus, need something to do vacation week), going to the doctor,  getting a second job, renewing my passport, looking at a car, and finally completing the images database at work (because seriously? it's been two years). To hit my 85% goal, though, I have to finish almost everything else. Yeesh.

EDITED TO ADD: New list posted here (a reorg!)

where ya going for your vacation?

This one I'm spending at home. I'd prefer to travel, of course, but I am getting back into no-spending mode, and I really want all my CC debt gone by the end of January (doable if I stay in no-spending mode). Then I can throw my bonus at the student loan...and still be up to my ass in debt, sigh. But it will only be ONE debt. Unless I get a new car. ARG! Why did I want that education again? I forgot.

So that's where I'm going. Nowhere! Damn, I seriously need a life.

ahhh ok. Well, you can still travel around new england. drive around and visit different places... take a whole bunch of pics. That'll be a cool way to spend a budgeted vacation!

Totally. Day trips are cheap. Also, little things you don't let yourself do when you're busy all the time, like take baths or bake bread or just do nothing but listen to music. Right, and take pictures!

Your productivity is totally awesome. And when you're down to just a student loan, that will be awesome, too!

You can always spend a few days (re)discovering all the cheap things to do in Boston. You've got a major city next door, full of neat stuff. Go take advantage of it.
