Thursday Thirteen

Things in my to-do box. I do accomplish things, really, I do!

1. Finish my a booklet or small book on Cloverdale. It's practically done, I just need to write a few more little pieces and then decide how I want to publish it.

2. Do the same thing with information I have on Blue Ridge.

3. Go through all of my old poems. Some of them I will then send out or submit to contests. Some I will throw away. Some I will refile.

4. Go through all my old journals. I strongly suspect I will throw away a lot of this. Some of it may be worth keeping, though.

5. Genealogy research on my husband's family and my family. I must purchase software for that, too. Any recommendations?

6. Do something with an "how to write effective emails" presentation that I created but haven't yet figured out how to market.

7. Write some keyword articles for a client.

8. Finish up an assigned article for The Fincastle Herald.

9. Tear down the wallpaper in the kitchen and paint the wall.



This wallpaper has been up for at 15 years. Some of it is peeling from the wall. I am ready for a new look.

10. Put up wallpaper on the back part of the built-in bookshelves in the living room.



These bookshelves are dark and I think they would look better if they were lighter. We don't paint woodwork so I have decided I could cover the back part with something light. I've had the wallpaper here for this project for oh, I dunno, seven years?

11. Paint the spare bathroom. It hasn't been painted since 1987. The paint has held up pretty well, but it's just the two of us so there is no reason for it not to.

12. Read those 56 books that are in my "to read" pile(s).



All of these book are awaiting my attention.


13. Write a novel, which has been on my to-do list ever since I knew what a novel was. I am starting to think it ain't never gonna happen.


Lots of people play Thursday Thirteen. You can read about it here. My other Thursday Thirteens are here. This is number 129!
