    2. Take off my chipped nail polish
    3. Pack lunch for tomorrow at work
    4. File at least 20 pieces of paper from the huge stack
    5. Clean walls
    6. Put a new table cloth on dining room table

    It seems as if I fall off the post every week!! Having trouble with this computer so shall do whatever I can.

    Sunday:

    WATCH SUPERBOWL - after that all is a bonus
    clean out under couch
    clean off square table
    add bowl of Japanese fishing balls
    organize crafting
    go through all stuff in MB
    Clean off window side of bed
    Call in sub for Wednesday
    Order pictures
    Plan breakfast and lunches for the week
    Finish FV valentine cards

    that's all I can think of for now

    Monday:
    Mail package
    Schedule massage
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    Quoted from my post in Week 4: ( )

    For those new to the challenge, it is an inverse pyramid. I start it on Saturday, because I have the weekend off, so can get the most done then, but start it whatever day you choose. You can do the full pyramid (start with 12 things on Sat, then 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1) or the abbreviated pyramid (7,6,5,4,3,2,1) or whatever geometric shape is your personal favourite.

    The goal is to knock out LITTLE things that you keep wanting to do, but they are so minor, you keep putting them off. Examples: change a lightbulb, refill a salt shaker, water a plant...

    Good luck and have fun!!
