Monday Motivation... From YOU!

While I have plenty of small tasks to complete on my own this week, I need your help with something.

I have a full queue of past events to tell you about (and show you pictures of) but, at this point, I just don't know where to start.

So, I'm asking you to tell me, what do you want to hear about first? Or not at all? Or do you want me to mix it all up and make you go crazy? Some of these events will require a series of posts so keep that in mind.

There's this:

which I started talking about, but bailed on before I got to the good stuff.

Some of you may also remember this trip:

which I went on only 2 weeks after breaking my arm.

For Labor Day Weekend, Cowboy H and I went camping here:

which I have done every year since I was an infant. Wood cutting, sunsets, cows and the Hankster were involved.

And at some point at 5K Walk/Run was participated in,

which really wasn't all that exciting, but it raises awareness for a good cause.

It would be really great if y'all could get together and come to a consensus, that way I won't have to decide who to please first. However, I won't push it. Y'all have busy lives, I understand. Can't wait to see what I'm writing about next (or if I'm writing anything at all)!

In the meantime, I went on a RIDE yesterday!

Oh, it was fantastic. And about 80 degrees. My condolences to those of you who are snowed or rained in right now.

Hope everyone is ready for a great week!

Monday Motivation, Week ??

Its been a while since I've done Monday Motivation, I'm not sure what week to call it! Do continue counting from where I left off? Or do I count the weeks that have passed in between? I just don't know what to do!

But here are 5 things I know I need to do this week:

1. Hang the stockings
2. Wrap the last couple Christmas presents
3. Get stocking stuffers/gifts for the kiddos
4. LAUNDRY (there's always one downer, huh?)
   
5. Drive to my parents' house on Christmas Eve and open presents Christmas morning!

Christmas is coming, I hope y'all are ready!

Monday Motivation, Week 5

1. Yosemite Photos
2. Wedding Photos
3. Bracelets
4. See if I can get my pea coat tailored
5. Find overnight horse boarding for next week.

Monday Motivation, Week 4

1. Frontline the dogs (and cats)
2. Write and mail 2 thank you notes that were forgotten
3. Yosemite photos, nuff said
4. Wedding photos onto Flickr, these are going to take forever, the files are so large they load so slowly!
5. Buy a new collar for my dog, since Hank ate it

Monday Motivation, Week 3

1. Get well.
2. Finish editing Yosemite photos (I swear I'm making progress).
3. Edit fair photos.
4. Carve pumpkins.
5. Upload wedding photos to Flickr.

Monday Motivation, Week 2

First off, I'm going to update you on my success (or failure) of the first week. You most likely figured out it was a big FAIL since I would have shouted out and proudly exclaimed had I accomplished something. However, it wasn't a complete 100% fail. More like a 93.7% fail. Or a 6.3% accomplishment. Eeee. Let's write it the other way. That way if someone just glances at the page, they could mistake that 93.7% for my success rate. And that's much better than the other number.

93.7% FAIL

I DID get the sticky strips bought for the couches. And I even put them on the couches! However, my attempts at showing you the new couches failed. Maybe tomorrow? Who the heck am I kidding anymore? Anyone?

The bracelets? Oh yeah, them. That shouldn't have even been on the list. I never even attempted to get the materials out, let alone begin to construct them. Better luck this week? I think not.

I DID however start editing my Yosemite pics. I'm probably about 42% through them. Considering I have over 600 photos from that little stroll in the woods, that's progress. At least for me. And as an added bonus, I have a few to share with you.

I apologize for the darkness of the first photo. It was much brighter on Cowboy H's laptop. I think I had the screen tilted too far. Also, can you spot the moon in the third photo?

Okay, now for the real business. The list for this week is:

1. FINISH editing the Yosemite photos.
2. Make discs for all applicable parties and mail them.
3. Edit the fair photos from last weekend.
4. Post about the couches.
5. Pick some pumpkins!

The bracelets have been stricken from the list this week because I see no feasible time to actually do them. But, they have not been dropped all together and should return next week.

Anybody else have a To-Do list this week?

Monday Motivation

In light of the fact that I actually went to the gym twice last week, I'm starting a themed day; Monday Motivation. From now on, each Monday I will post 5 things that I MUST get done that week. Then on Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday (basically which ever day I get enough done to make it presentable) I will update on my success or failure. The list is going to be a catch-all; anything from purging my underwear drawer to painting the living room may be listed.

Also, I want to hear what you have on your to-do list each week. Come on, just throw it out there. We all have those menial errands or looming tasks that we're whole-heartedly trying to avoid. Maybe by putting them out there in the blogosphere, you'll be extra motivated!

Monday Motivation, Week 1

1. Make the dang bracelets (I will tell you more when they're done, but there are 8 total)
2. Finish editing the Yosemite photos
3. Create discs of all the Yosemite photos and mail them to the participating parties
4. Buy those sticky strips for the corners of the new couches
5. Tell you about the new couches!

Maybe I should make the list 10 things...

(Sigh) Well, now that I've written it down, I feel accountable. Let's see if that feeling lasts past when I click the 'Publish Post' button!
