To-Do Tuesday

I tried doing this a few times last year, but often forgot and sometimes I just posted a couple of times each month. It was a busy year part of the time and I totally forgot to do anything for the summertime. No promises that I will remember each week, but let's give it a try. 

It is the first Tuesday of December and quilting goals may be a bit scarce. My brother who lives in Saskatchewan will be visiting here for a week. He is flying in for the Grey Cup Game being hosted in Hamilton this year. The Hamilton TiCats will be hosting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Why anyone would want to sit outside on bleachers in winter and watch a football game is beyond me. It will be about 2 C. My Sweetie sits in the comfort of our living room and watches on the big screen TV.  Anyway, we will be having a family Christmas dinner on Sat. Come to think of it, our first date was to a football game in Hamilton. That was the night before my 18th birthday. I married him a year later. 

So my To-Do Tuesday this week will include:

  • ALL the prep work for a turkey dinner for 15-20 people. 
  • Shopping for some of that dinner.
  • Not whining about the work it takes to do this.
  • I have a cleaning lady coming in Thurs to do the cleaning so I do not have to do it. 
  • Make sure the clean-up gets done after the party. 
  • No stress here since the guests usually roll up their sleeves and clear away everything and wash up the dishes. 
  • I could use paper plates like we did for the anniversary.
  • Print off all the rest of the invoices in my inbox for the bookkeeper.  We are doing taxes after Christmas.
  • Remember to do a blog post every day.
  • I am scheduling posts so should have that under control.
  • Virtual Writing Retreat Friday before the dinner. I could write up blog posts since I can write on whichever project I want. 
  • Finish cutting out the rest of the fabrics for the Macaron Mystery.
  • Do 15 minutes of stitching each day. You know that is not likely.


This should keep me out of trouble this week. 
Blessings,
Chris

  4. Oh I loved your post! Love the little bits of memories you included about your first date. :) Your family dinner sounds fun. I'd love to roll up my sleeves and help you. I used to cater, and there was nothing I liked more than cooking for a crowd. Is the photo of the Macaron Mystery fabrics? Pretty! Your writing retreat sounds interesting.
    Thank you for linking your post to To Do Tuesday!
