A Week to Look Forward to.

Okay! It's a bit over half way into the weekend, and I am looking into the near future through rose-colored glasses. I'm choosing to stop fretting and stressing and BE POSITIVE! So here is a list of things I'm looking forward to in the next week:
1. I am looking forward to getting caught up with marking student work. I made a resolution to be better at marking and returning assignments and tests quickly, and so far, I am not doing great. This is the week to catch up.
2. I am looking forward to finishing (and starting -- eek!) my plan for my NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) project. If I plan to write 50,000 words in November, I'd better have a plan.
3. I am looking forward to having gates on my fences so my dog is finally contained. Not looking forward to the work, but the end project will be worth it.
4. I am looking forward to going to Edmonton next weekend, to hang out with family and friends.
5. I am looking forward to taking a PD course on Saturday -- all art all day! Two seminars: one on large-scale print-making and one on silk screening and stained glass. Sweet!
6. I am looking forward to finishing sorting through closets and rooms in my place, and picking out stuff to donate or sell. I've done 2 rooms so far and have 3 boxes to get rid of. I love minimizing! It is so freeing! (What I find hard and limiting is not buying anything. I'm trying really hard to buy only things for myself that I need, but the same does not hold true when it comes to my kids.)
It's going to be a big and busy week! And of course I am happy to follow my dossier as it makes it's way to Ethiopia!

Okay, first of all, you can not include on your list of things to look forward to over 1/2 of the items as "to do". That's just crazy talk! So here are my revisions of your list: 1) Grey's Anatomy (You know you love it) 2) Making a loaf of honey oatmeal bread (mmmm....) 3) Getting a letter in the mail 4) writing down 5 cute things Jonah says

Those are really things to look forward to! Now go do it girl!

Love your older and wiser sister! :P
