Plans for the day.....a meme

I saw on another blog, a post about doing 101 things in 1001 days. Things like sewing, learning a language, getting out of debt.... I thought, "wow, what a great idea! Set some goals, get some things done, motivation time!" Then I thought, not happening in my life at this time! I don't have time to make the list! My to-do list for today has too many things going on! So it is with great pleasure that I unveil my 1,000,001 things to do in 1 day. MUCH more realistic!
1. Dishes
2. 2 loads of laundry (counts as 2 items, right?)
4. Pay insurance
5. Pay last of tuition
6. Work 2 hours on paper
7. Wrap Christmas gifts
8. Figure out Christmas card design
9. Order materials for card
10. Clean up area where tree is going
11. Find Christmas decorations
12. Vacumn
13. Sweep
14. Dust
15. Bake cookies
16. Clean out fridge
17. Print pics for December album
18. Journal for album
19. Fold laundry from yesterday
20. Learn enough HTML to cross out things on my list

OK, OK, I exagerated a little but this is just the things I can think of! I will certainly do things not on the list which I will add and I will come back and cross off those I have accomplished!
Hopefully, all will be done by tonight!!!!


********It's now about 5 pm and I am done for the day, things can wait until tomorrow!****************

Housing update.

Looked at 2 more houses today. 1st one, no way in heck. Had evidence of spider infestations and in one room, the floor sloped noticably. The outside looked nice also. The second was pristine inside and out. Beautiful! Loved it on every point except one. Very small.
Then we drove by 9 or so more for sale. Some had no curb appeal. The inside could have been spectacular and I would not have cared because the owners did not take the time to make the outside look decent. You can't judge a book by its cover but..........you can judge a house by its yard.
We went and spoke to the base housing people this afternoon and we are definitely going to get a brand-spaken new house if we want one. They also gave us a floor plan, and boy! did it look nice. It had one particular feature that I totally, like high 5, loved, loved, loved..... It had the washer and dryer hookups on the second floor where all the bedrooms were. How smart is that? Where is the majority of the dirty laundry? Where does the majority of the clean laundry need to go back to? No one changes clothes and takes showers in the kitchen so why would you put the washer and dryer there? I personally hate to gather all my laundry up, upstairs, to lug it down to the washer and dryer and then lug it back upstairs.
Let me know your thoughts on this. Especially you, Momster, as your washer and dryer are in the basement.
