So here we go:
#1
I shaved my legs. [Small successes, right?] Seriously, this hasn't been done in a long time. I was pregnant, we moved, the shower in our bathroom is small, winter happened (and who really needs to shave in winter, #amiright?), and then we planned a trip to the zoo and it's gotten hot. So yeah, I finally broke down and used the tub in the other bathroom. It felt so good!!
#2
A small success at work: I finally cataloged a music score that had been sitting on a shelf by my desk for *coughcough* almost 4 years *coughcough*. Don't know why I left this particular one for so long. Just one of those things that gets forgotten. But it felt great to get it done and pass it on and see an empty space on a shelf. An empty space that I expect will get filled up pretty quickly again.

Last night I turned the TV off at 8:00 PM. This is a big deal. I often feed the baby around 7 PM and turn on the TV to watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Once the TV is on, it tends to stay on, which means I don't get a whole lot done the rest of the evening. Last night I turned it off once Jeopardy ended [have you been watching it, I've been cheering on the champion now for weeks, love it!]. The boys went to bed a little after 8 PM and I was able to get the dishes finished, clean off the kitchen table, vacuum under it, get Silas' bottles ready for the next day, switch the laundry to the drier, and feed the baby one last time and get him to bed, all by 10:30 PM. I then was able to sit back and read from A Well-Built Faith and write up a short blog post on chapter 1. It felt great to get all that stuff done early in the evening and then have some time to myself rather than what I've been doing, which is the reverse and is very stressful.
Those are mine for this week. How about you? Join in on the fun over at CatholicMom.com.
It's hilarious you mentioned shaving your legs, because I rarely do that. I was just thinking today that I need to shave tomorrow if I intend to even dare entertain the thought of wearing shorts! I am so curious, too, as to what the musical score was that sat uncatalogued for 4 years?! Do tell!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found it hilarious. I wondered if people would find it gross that I would put shaving my legs on this list. :D The score I cataloged was called Bicinia by Anthony Iannaccone. It is for flute and also saxophone. When I originally looked it up I couldn't find a record in OCLC (world-wide database), but when I finally looked at it again this past week I found one that had been added to the database in November 2013. I guess I wasn't the only procrastinator. So I didn't have to create a record myself, I just got to copy it from someone else. :)
