Update on my to-do list

Months have passed since I originally posted this, so let's see where I stand...

1. Complete wedding scrapbook - even though I am not a fan of scrapbooks. What else am I supposed to do with all of this wedding stuff?
Update: I've got it all organized and the page components set, now I am waiting on Hobby Lobby to have another half-off sale.

2. Learn to use a Holga camera, and my Canon while I am at it. - Completed!

3. Visit thrift stores - we are in search of a few key vintage items for our house.
Update: We've scored a few awesome finds and are working on them now. Transformation photos coming soon.

4. Find something we lost - Yes, we lost something really important. No, I am not going to tell you what it is, that's for us to know and you to find out when we find it.
Update: Despite organizing the entire house, we have not found it. One more month and we'll be in trouble. I hate losing things.

5. Read more.
Update: Do magazines count?

6. Glue a bowl back together. I broke a precious bowl a few years ago. It is so sentimental to me, that I have moved it from house to house hoping to repair it one day.
Update: Completed, but now I realize that this bowl is no longer a bowl, but a mess of glue and glass. I'll package it up and store it in my "memories box" for now...or take a picture of it and chunk it. Simplifying life says photos only.

7. Some call us organized, I call us an organized mess. I am working to separate everything into three piles - keep, garage sale/donate and trash. I refuse to move anything that we are not going to use again. - Completed!

8. Have coffee on the patio of Will's, weekly.
Update: Does my patio count?

9. Have lunch with all of my fabulous friends who I do not see enough. - Ongoing.

10. Wrap up Ad2OKC items - my tenure is almost up and it's time to move into my position with Ad Club. (I'm a big kid now!) - Completed, the baton has been handed over.

New to-do list:
1. Finish scrapbook.
2. Re-charge my brain.
3. Write more hand-written letters.
4. Complete mood-boards for each room to simplify purchases.
5. Create a new definition for relaxing that does not include TV.

Hey lady! I am SO curious about what you've lost. At first I thought it was something more conceptual (like your mind, innocence, etc.) but now it's clearly more literal...

I hope things are going well for your family. Let's have lunch once things settle down for you a little.

I must say I am curious as well. If it makes you feel better I haven't been able to find our marriage license since we got married. So technically, it is lost. Hope you are well.

Way to go on your to do list! I wish I could say I have that many checked off. I will be marking off paint the house this weekend, though! WOO HOO!
