Recap: Monday Must-Dos

I know I'm not the only one that starts off my week with a giant to-do list... so here's to holding ourselves accountable and actually getting stuff DONE! (And no fair adding stuff to the list just to cross it off, even though I may be guilty of that myself!)


Moving
- Pay application fees (done!)
- Email copy of my ID, proof of income, and photos of the dogs (done!)
- Email copy of Patrick's ID and proof of income (done!)

Cleaning
- Finish laundry (done! I don't really mind doing laundry, to be honest.  It's just pairing socks that I hate.)
- Guest room - sheets, towels, dust (done! dusting the guestroom is so easy since there's no dog hair in there!)
- Sweep & mop
- Vaccuum
- Fill up the 6000 empty water bottles on the counter and put them in the fridge (until we get a Brita, this will probably never happen.)

Jobs
- High school #1 (apply in person)
- High school #2 (reapply as a JV cheer coach (and hide your enthusiasm while doing so.))
- Send resume & cover letter to private school placement agency
- Check for any new job postings in North Carolina

- cancel Planet Fitness membership (two trips in 6 months is hardly worth the money!)
- try on bridesmaid shoes and tell Heather my size  (had to size up from an 8.5 to a 10, eesh)
- wish Lauren a happy birthday! (done!)
- put the top back on the Wrangler because it is pouring rain! (done! pretty impressed I figured it out by myself, even if it took way too long and I broke half my fingernails.)
- PAY SUMMER TUITION for my last two classes!

-------

Ughhh now that it's all written out, it looks like sooo much... and that's all stuff that I really need to do TODAY! (Normally the cleaning wouldn't be so very urgent, but I have company coming into town around dinnertime.) But you know what, it's a rainy day, so the beach isn't calling my name, and I have no excuses.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Who's with me? Any must-dos you're trying to cross off your list today? Let me know, because misery productivity loves company!

-------

Well, it is now Thursday morning, and I got a lot of my list done, but arguably none of the important stuff - the job hunt tasks!  Also, paying my tuition is pretty important, and since class starts Monday, I'm pretty sure today is the last day to do so.  Off I go to do that, and I'll make sure to swing by the gym on the way home to cancel that membership.  As for the job hunt, let's be honest, that will always be on-going.

How about you?  Does your Monday must-do list look about the same as it did Monday, or did you make some progress?

High Five for... Saturday?

1. Last Saturday I did the Dirty Myrtle Mud Run. (I'm third from the right, in case you can't tell!)  It was the first time I've run since I did a 5k in February, and even though it was about the same length, the twenty-seven obstacles meant you never had to run for very long, which is always a plus!
2. The Boathouse is a locals' staple in Myrtle Beach on Sundays: they're directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, so you can bring your boat right up to the stage and listen to their free concerts.  I'm not lucky enough to have a boat, but watching Parmalee from the grass was still fun.
3. I've had this bikini top since high school and wear it exactly twice a year - Memorial Day and July 4th (duh).  This is me and the bf at a Memorial Day cookout with friends (not pictured, but I promise they exist).
4. Two o'clock beer while house hunting.  Hey, it's stressful!  I think we finally found a place in Wilmington though, so that is worth celebrating!
5. My youngest sibling David turned nineteen this week - insane! (This is a pic from his high school graduation last year, but I love it, so outdated or not, I'm using it.)

Linking up with Lauren for High Five for Friday... even if I am a day late!
