Santa isn't the only one with lists.

 Friday before I left work, I made up a weekend to-do list for myself.It was very enthusastic and positive thinking in my abilities to get work done over the weekend. It read:

- Pick up cards
-Pictures with Santa (Petsmart and Petco)
-Make Rockets' cards
-Bag up cookies
-Boxes for cookies
-Mail cookies
-Buy Stamps
-Buy Labels
-Go to Broskey and Alphagals to make labels
-Prep Cards to mail
-Mail Cards
-Rake leaves
-Clean livingroom
-Dress mantel

By Sunday evening I had accomplished:

- Pick up cards
-Pictures with Santa (Petsmart and Petco)
-Make Rockets' cards
-Bag up cookies
-Buy boxes for cookies
-Mail cookies
-Buy stamps
-Buy labels
-Go to Broskey and Alphagals to make labels
-Prep Cards to mail ( sign them, get labels on them, stamps etc.)
-Mail cards
-Rake leaves
-Clean livingroom
-Dress mantel

I should have mentioned somewhere on there about "review addresses to make sure they are up to date" and "Make sure labels are formatted to whatever printer I'm going to use this year", its always a bit of a surprise to me, there should also have been some mention of "print up ingredients list" because I have to include that with them before I mail too, I also should have added "buy shipping tape" because I can't find any in the house and I need it before I can ship anything to anywhere. I had really hoped to get this stuff done by early in the week but I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to make that happen. I still got a lot done over the weekend, including laundry, and I should feel good about the amount of work I did get done. I also got a lot of time spent watching TV with the dog under a blanket and admiring my Christmas tree. It was really cold and gross outside and I am still officially sick with bronchitis.  Now my list has a list.
