A blog I visit occasionally is "A Beautiful Mess" by Elsie Flannigan. Elsie posted a challenge to list several things you realistically wish to accomplish before your next birthday. Since mine is in September, I don't have very long, but here goes:
1. Design and Publish our first firm brochure to give to clients; we have alot of experience in many areas of law, but we needed a way to let our clients know this. Tom has been after me to do a brochure we can give to clients to enhance our repeat business and referrals. I found a program I think will work for us, so it's now just a matter of DOING IT.
2. Get back on the FlyLady program; see http://www.flylady.com/ That pretty much says it all.
3. Get our yard completely ready for winter: prune bushes and trees, pull out dead plants, cut back perennials, put away yard furniture,etc. This is about a two-weekend job since I do this myself.
4. Begin work organizing the upstairs storage area. I really want to get this area in order so that if Chicago gets the 2016 Olympics, we can be in a position to finish the upstairs rooms for a "bed and breakfast" area I have been thinking about. I think we could pay for the renovations with what we would make over that 2 week period, if it does come to pass.
I think that's enough to realistically think I can get done in the next 51 days.

Denise, how many of your goals did you accomplish before your birthday? Inquiring Mind...
Well, I got the yard half done (I was supposed to do the other half this weekend, but the weather is not cooperating) I am back on FlyLady, my sink is very shiny right now. No progress at all on the brochure or the upstairs. Next weekend is my sorority's big fundraiser, of which I am the co-chair, so after then, I can get more focused on what I need to do around here....oh well, at least I did a few on the list!
