- Take down the cute pair of “goal” jeans that have been hanging on my closet door for the past 9 months.
- Wash the dust off off them and donate them to Goodwill.
- Finally write that paper to expose the myth that “nothing tastes as good as being thin feels” hogwash. We all know that chocolate does.
- Bring in the decorative summer items from my front porch and other yard areas. Clean 6 inches of snow off of them and store them in the basement.

- Clean the basement.
- Resolve to not put out cute summer things on the porch and in the yard as it will only create future work outside in the snow.
- Have early spring garage sale to get rid of let others enjoy the cute summer things on their porch and yard.
- Realize that I will have to graduation parties this summer so I will probably want the cute summer things for one more season.
- Plan late summer/early fall alternative date for above-mentioned garage sale.
- Stock up on tissues for the two graduation dates that are fast approaching.
- Save money for two grad parties that are coming.
- Figure out how to make money volunteering. (Learn to say “no” is more like it.)
- Try not to think about depressing things as much.
- Eat chocolate.

Funny! Sounds a bit like my procrastination problem. I’m still planning to send out those Christmas cards….
Maybe I’ll make them Groundhog’s Day cards, and it’ll look like I’m on the ball, and have them out early!

Ha! I used to send out New Year’s cards. They are sitting on my counter. Perhaps I will steal your Groundhog’s Day idea – very nice!
