Ten on Tuesday

The Ten on Tuesday topic for 5/29 is 10 Goals for this Summer.
 
1)  Read through some of the books in that pile above.  A lot of them were bought during Borders going out of business sale last summer.
2)  Lose about 10-20 lbs.
3)  Exercise at least 3 times a week.
4)  Knit all three segments of Camp Loopy.
5)  Finish watching Season 2 and 3 of True Blood (the DVD's are by the computer)  I watched Episodes 1 and 2 of Season 2 yesterday.  Pick up Season 4.  I would have watched a few more but my niece stopped by with her new puppy Wesley.  Such a cutie, worth not watching a few more episodes.
6)  Get some Dr appts made and taken care of.
7)  Make some progress on some old UFO's.  If I don't plan to finish them, rip them out.
8)  Get playing with my new computer (due to arrive the beginning of June) and newer laptop (about a year or so old) - updating my resume, organizing some files.
9)  Clean out the den - books and DVD's and CD's.  Get rid of books I didn't like or have but don't plan to read.
10)  Organize my knitting patterns and books.

Ten on Tuesday

I actually like to eat Turkey but these were some wild visitors at work.  We have had as many as 12 -14 or as few as 1 lonely one walking around.
The Ten on Tuesday topic for 5/22 is 10 Things You Wish You Liked.  This would have been much harder if it was 10 things I wished I didn't like.
1)  Yogurt - never liked the taste but have been trying to add it to smoothies.
2)  Exercise - need to get doing this whether I like it or not.
3)  Cleaning - I tend to wait till I can't take it and then I will clean out a room or part of a room.
4)  The Heat - I like summer but anything humid and over 90 keeps me in air-conditioning.
5)  Games - I'm not into playing games and would rather just do puzzles.
6)  Car shopping - just bought a used CRV - didn't enjoy the process and wish I was better at just walking away.  I go into it with that plan but never can pull it off.
7)  Crochet - wish I could do more than simple crochet.  Every year I say it will be the year I learn.
8)  Sewing - I would love to be able to make nice linings for felted bags.  So far, mine have been very plain.
9)  Partys - I avoid family gatherings and other gatherings if I can.  I just don't like to be in large groups. 
10)  Cooking - I wish I was better at it and have been trying.

Ten on Tuesday

1)  Put away all of my Woolgirl kits.  They are all still in their original packages and some have been sitting around for about 2 years.  I bought some report holders to file the information that comes with them and then plan to stash the yarn in one place so I can match them back up when I get around to knitting them.
 
2)  File away a bucket full of patterns weeding out ones I will never make.  Also have about 4 new binders plus the plastic sheets to help with this.
 
3)  Once as it arrives, set up my new computer and clean the desk it is going on.
 
4)  Finish my Spectra scarf/shawl- hoping to get it done before Camp Loopy starts later on this month.
 
5)  Finish Liesl - need to do the sleeves and then some more on the body to use up the yarn.
 
6)  Organize some books and donate the ones I will never read.  Need the bookshelf space for some knitting stuff.
 
7)  Start exercising - the bike is upstairs, the batteries to run it are in the house, just need to get it going.
 
8)  Make some Docter appt's - Dermatologist, Gastroenterlogist, Ear Nose Throat Doc (need to find one), Gyno (need to find a new one).  Need to get some issues checked out and can't put it off anymore.
 
9)  Buy a new bed - maybe a whole new bed, maybe just a mattress and box spring.
 
10)  Plant my flowers - this is my Memorial day plan every year.  I put flowers on the front porch.  I have a giraffe planter I bought at a tag sale and I love it and it gets to sit out by the door.  Lining the side of the small front porch are 3 diamond shape planters (they can be stacked one on the edges of the other two but the past few years I have just lined them up.  I haven't gone to MA Sheep and Wool the past few years and don't need anything this year so will probably do this on Saturday.
