2. Go tanning
3. Kids pictures done at the studio
4. Vacuum
5. Dishes
6. Knit on dishcloths
7. Clean bathroom
8. Get and cash paycheck
9. Sweep entry stairs
10. Sweep kitchen floor
11. Sweep bathroom floor
12. Hang curtain in boys room

That should keep me busy today!

I am frightened by the number in the thread title. There are only 52 weeks in a year, how can we be at 49 already?! I hope this doesn't mean that it's almost Christmas, because I am not even close to being ready.


Tonight we are going to a party, so I'm just going to tidy and try to find something to wear, do something with my hair, etc.

Tomorrow my stupid report is due, the one I worked on all last week and still haven't finished.

I will come back on Monday with a real list.

Getting there and it's not even noon yet! Probably won't make it tanning today since I was going to do it while DS was at baseball...we got all the way to practice and he is missing his glove...we think it was stolen out of our car, so we drove right home . I did start a little knitting on my dishcloths but will check that off tonight when I get more done. How is everyone else doing in their pyramid this week?

I'm just getting back into Frugal Village. Can you define the Pyramid Challenge to me briefly. Thanks

 

[mauimagic]

You bet and welcome back Kaebuzz!!

The original version worked like this:
The first day - list 12 small, manageable things that you want to accomplish. Each day after, decrease your list by 2 - so you'll be crerating a pyramid list with 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2 things to do.

Over the year or so, the original list has been modified to fit individual needs. I set mine up so I can build on it as the week goes and I'll have an overview of my week - works for me.

Hope it works for you!!

Have a great day everyone!
