The First To Do List of 2008 :)

Today is going to be one busy day. There is lots to be done, and lots to clean too. Here is the plan for today:

  • Wash all the dishes in the kitchen
  • Clean the Dining Room
  • Put away 4 Loads of Laundry
  • Grocery Shop, and Buy New Shoes for Thade. After yesterday’s muddy mess, I think it is time to pick out a new pair of shoes 😉
  • Bake Oatmeal Cookies for hubby, I was supposed to do this a few days ago

I had better start on the kitchen first, it is such a mess. I was going to try and put off going to the store until tomorrow, but we seem to be out of everything! Lots to do, better get to it.

We are staying in this New Year’s Eve, and enjoying a big dinner. I’m making Rib-eye Steaks, Steak Fries, Hominy, and Chocolate Bundt Cake. We might even pop open a bottle of wine for a New Year’s Eve Toast at midnight 😉

I hope that everyone has a safe and very Happy New Year!
