March To-Do List

*  Pay Bills-DONE  Always done first.

*  Work on the Plan to Move-DONE  The plan is moving along.  We have 9 days or so to finish packing.  Eek!

*  Work on Hemming Pants-FAIL  As of now no pants have been hemmed.

*  Work on Emptying Freezer-PASS  We have been emptying the freezer for the past month.  We don't get everything used/eaten before we leave.  The dogs have been eaten high on the hog and we have a neighbor who will happily take what we can't use by the time we get the pots/pans/dishes all packed up.  He's got two empty freezers we can donated our frozen food too. 8-)

*  Buy Stuff to Fix House(Always)-PASS  We had the handyman out here for 2 days last week fixing some small issues.  And in "if something can go wrong style, it will" last night we noticed the gasket on the door of the fridge has started to separate so we order a new one and will get it installed before the end of this week.
Also, my car has been in the shop for 2 weeks now(a long story concerning a fuse box which is fixed now).  Went to pick it up and noticed the a/c is out.  ugh  Just got that fixed and now some moron hit Hubs car and damaged the headlight, which now needs replacing,  It's a "smart" headlight so will cost $1K for a plastic cover over the light.  I think we are just hemorrhaging cash and we still need to pay the movers.  ugh ugh

*  Start Packing-PASS  The packing commenced in March.  Eating the elephant one day at a time here.

*  Take Food to Food Bank-DONE

A modest donation in March.  More food than toiletries.

*  Start New Food Bank Donation-PASS  a new donation was started for April.

*  Edit More Photos-DONE  Lots of photos, lots of editing

*  Post About Old Trips-FAIL  Nope, had lots of other stuff to do

*  Work on Genealogy-PASS  I am always doing genealogy.

*  Take Fabric Listings Down-FAIL  I didn't take them down yet.

*  Ramp up Goodwill Donations-PASS

We've been taking car loads to Goodwill once a week for 3 weeks in March.  We've taken another 3 loads in April and have one more load to take the end of this week.

Not a bad March List and quite a bit of it accomplished. 8-)))

The To-Do List....October Edition

Well in my zeal to do an October To-Do List and Update my side bar to November I electronically blew away my October list.  Thought I saved it in a draft before I zapped it out of existence on the side bar.  Nope. sigh.

Though I can't recall all the items on it, here are the highlights of what got done in October.
*  Paid all the bills(so so many bills.....)
*  Went on a Girls Trip to the Gulf(the highlight of October)
*  Cleaned out my coupon stash(not that I have much of a stash anymore since I haven't bought a paper since moving down here and my printer wasn't hooked up either)
*  Edited more photos(seems I am always editing photos but never get around to posting them on the blog)
*  I didn't post about any older trips, heck, I didn't post much at all! 8-)
*  Worked on Genealogy(connected with a cousin on mom's side and gave her some difficult info. on shared GGGgrandparents)
*  Buy a House
*  Get a Contract on PA House
*  Buy a Washer and Dryer(Did it in Oct., was suppose to be delivered Nov. 4th but then supply chain issues happened and now it's coming 2 days before Thanksgiving, supposedly.)
*  Survive the trials and tribulations of moving

That's the bullet points list of what got done.  More details on the house stuff in the fullness of time.....
