Tackle this to-do list

Tim told me yesterday that he was bored and that he needed something to do. He has been threatening to clean out my “junk” room – also known as my craft room. But if he is SO desperate to do something, I can give him a list.

·         Research wedding photographers and videographers.
·         Research wedding invitation and prices.
·         Look at the wedding budget I sent and figure out where to cut or if I’m missing anything that is essential.
·         Research tuxes for the wedding.
·         Look into wedding honeymoon ideas.
·         Research mini vacation options that are budget friendly. This includes dog friendly traveling (or dog sitting opportunities), accommodations, restaurants (you know I’m going to want at least one night out) and activities.
·         We have one very blank hallway. Look at photo options and frames for this wall.
·         Find new décor for the front door.
·         Research craft room storage options.
·         Read.
·         Rearrange Tupperware storage.
·         Go buy storage equipment and sort out the utility room.
·         Find somewhere to take the rugs to give them a good beating.
·         Look up dinner options – and go grocery shopping!
·         Reassess spending over the last 3-6 months and figure out a way to start saving more.
·         Start watching “Big Love” on HBOgo.com so you will stop asking me about what happens.
·         Find some more TV to watch.
·         Figure out what to do with the medicine at the top of the fridge. Should we just have them the way they are, or should we buy some kind of storage unit for them?
·         Clean out the closet where we store toilet paper. That doesn’t mean throw things out – that means arrange and rearrange. Unpackaged the toilet paper and stack them so they’re easy to get out. Refold the towels so they fit. Put all the left over “junk” or scraps into one or two boxes.
·         Go exercise.
·         Do syllabi for fall classes.

Can you figure all of these things out this week?
