So we're winding down August. Holy crap, where did the month go? Pre-camping was spent planning for camping, then post-camping was spent being sick. Throw the craft sale in there (which I WILL blog about) and August has just been used up.
I was thinking about September and how this month always felt like the beginning of a new year. As a kid, I always looked forward to September- a new grade in school, new cartoon lineup, new clothes, new supplies. January never felt like a new year- it was always September.
This September I have a lot to look forward to as well as a lot to be thankful for. Zombiegirl is going into the 5th grade. She's also starting on her Travel Soccer team. We're celebrating our 12th Wedding Anniversary. My favorite season starts. 9/9/09 occurs (I always love those dates...) In honor of this September, I wanted to start anew, too, and finish specific things I've started. So I label September Anti-Procrastination Month. At least in my little world.
The things I want to get done in September are:
- Finish St. Andrew's renovation. This takes all of two pieces of wood, but I've been putting it off then forgetting about it. 'K, this is also a good idea for a blog post- my renovation efforts of the church.
- Update St. Andrew's website. Will try to be a weekly thing, but I have to start it.
- Finish the upstairs hallway painting. I have a small piece left on the ceiling- what is my problem? Why can't I finish this??? Once I finish, I can start blaming MR for not finishing the balustrades, bathroom, etc! Throw the ball back into his court.
- Do three things on my 101 in 1001 days list, specifically #15, #40, and #46.
Seven things. That's not a big deal, right? Completing these seven things will clear the way for the rest of the things I have to do without feeling guilty. Such small things, but they weigh heavy on my soul.
If I can complete these the first week of September, I'll add more. Not making any promises to myself, though. We'll see. Procrastination IS my middle name.
