No Tasty Tuesday today...sorry! I have other fish to fry, per se. (ha...get it...tasty tuesday...fish to fry)
Anyway -- I have things that I need to get done. And, there just never seems to be enough time. Do you feel that way? Do you ever seem to have a time that you can just sit around and think, "Wow -- I don't have anything that needs to be done." I don't ever seem to have that. There is always laundry to fold, business things that I could tend to, cleaning that is calling out to me, books that I want to read whose library due dates are looming, appointments to be made, therapy to run off and do (yeah...I know...it doesn't help that I have two parttime businesses), crafts that are calling out to me, blah blah blah.
And, so I am going to attempt to mostly not use the computer over the next couple of days. This will be VERY difficult for me, and I will likely have to pray for the strength to do that.
What will I do with my time? Well -- I have managed to make a list on two sides of notebook paper of things "to do." Some are simple things that will take only a minute or two, others may take a few hours (or more). If I finish everything in the next few days...well...I will still probably not have time to sit around and think, "I simply have nothing to do." But -- it would be good anyway!
And, so -- I challenge anyone reading to make a list of things they have been putting off. Make as long or as short of a list as you want. Try to be honest -- put on some of those things that you have REALLY been putting off. Try to get at least half the things done by Wednesday night (July 11th). And, why not post about it. What were some of your challenges? What are some of the things you finally did? How long was your list? How much of it did you get done? Or any other thoughts on it. Post about it by Thursday night (July 12th) and come leave me a comment with the link to your posting. (I'll put up a posting to comment to on Thursday afternoon.) Anybody who leaves me a link to their post about this "Get Some Things Done" challenge by Thursday night will be included in a Carnival type posting on Friday.
Oh...and one more thing! I'll randomly draw someone's name to be able to pick out one item of their choosing from the Autumn Daisy Studio that is $20 or less.
Good luck -- and I'll pray that we all get some things done!!!

I need to clean too, working everyday the house work tends to get away from me.
Oh, what a challenging challenge! I know there have been weeks I should step away from the computer, but I honestly think I am too addicted! I'll "reflect" on this and see if I have what it takes. ;) Over a full 24 hours away, huh? You are a strong one! lol Or waot, is it just Wednesday off? I could do that. (the ENITRE internet? Including e-mail?) I'm pathetic. You can tell!
Sharon -- No, I'm not totally away, just mostly. :) For instance, today, I was awake for about seven hours before I finally turned on the computer (yep, so no email until then either!). Some of the things on my "to do" list are using the computer, so now that Molly went down for a nap, I figured it was finally time to bring it back out (it's a laptop) a little while ago. Trust me though -- I was thinking about checking it a lot this morning and afternoon. LOL
We're having a graduation party for my son this weekend and boy are we getting stuff done. Big projcts, little ones we've been putting off, indoors and out. For me, having a deadline really hellps a lot.
I didn't see this post when you posted it the other day. But now I'm thinking that I'm going to do it starting today. I've got TONS of things that need to get done. I'm a list person too but just haven't written anything down. I think I'm off to write a list now and see what I can get accomplished by tomorrow night!
