Ft. W's AAR on the AT List

My husband will be home from AT tomorrow night. I remembered that I'd put together the impossible list of things to do and thought it might be fun to check our progress. Given that I haven't referred to it since he left, I can only imagine how far short we may have fallen. 

Let's look it over together, shall we?

I went one for two on my first to-do. I finished my book on John Adams (it was a great book) and I've started the Barefoot Executive, but not It Starts With Food. The Barefoot Executive will not be done prior to leaving for Convention, but I need something to read on the plane anyway, right?

Secondly, I wanted to be sure that I had the children where they needed to be when they needed to be there. I am happy to say that I had the children where they needed to be and even remembered to go pick them up when they were done. It was not the easiest given that there was a ton of running around midday the past three days, but we lived.

Thirdly, things have been slow with Scentsy this month, but I think the craziness that is my full-time job helped with that. This is truly one of the busiest times with my full-time job, so it's to be expected for things to be dicey. The good part is that one of my current customers referred a friend to me and the friend made her first purchase. Totally unexpected, large order that was a boost to my bottom line. 

Fourth, I was supposed to be running. Sad to say that not only did I rationalize myself from running on the super hot days, I also failed to run during the times when there were breaks in the weather. Not cool.

The unnumbered paragraphs mused about organizing my bedroom (didn't happen), figuring out what's up with my tomato plants (blight and it's not pretty) and learning more on my fancy dancy camera (I'm trying!). I did something completely NOT on the list and that was starting to quell the amount of stored girls' clothing. I am still not ready to part with the baby clothes, but I have rounded up sizes 4, 5, 6 and 7 as well as any 8's M2 can't/won't wear to be donated to a local non-profit that supplies such things for families in need. So, there's that.

I suppose I shouldn't be too shocked that more of the list was not finished when I was working nine to ten hour days and collapsing into bed by 8:30. Whatevs. It is what it is and the girls and I had a TON of fun.

Sounds to me like you got a heck of a lot done, taking working into account too! And the clothes sorting job is never a fun or quick job-well done.
I couldn't help but sit up at the mention of you reading The Barefoot executive. It was one of the books in the line up on yesterday's Book Report radio show. When they played a snippet out of the audiobook, I thought it sounded like a must (if anyone wants to take a listen, you can find the schedule and stations on their site- bookreportradio(dot)com). Will be honest, a couple of others also caught my attention, and with limited time on my hands, I need to be selective. So my question to you is, are you enjoying the book, and does it seem like it will be of practical help? Some feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Good luck with the jogging! :p

Hi, Marlene!
I am so sorry this comment didn't come into my hopper for me to know it was here--grrr. I don't like when that happens!

I hope, by now, that you've added the Barefoot Executive to your collection & read it. It was an amazingly thought provoking book for me as I contemplate ways to build income either through my direct marketing business or through my past experiences & talents.

It was especially exciting for me to use Twitter to communicate with the book's author which culminated in her giving me a shout out from the stage of our company's annual convention in Las Vegas. :) That was super cool!
