I want to join the Weekly Wonders - need something to help me stay on track (and not get lost in the black hole that is Netflix!). Is it Sunday through Saturday? So this week would be June 28-July 4? I'm off to make a list now.

What ever works for you. I tend to pop in every day or two to see where I am up to and cross things off. I may also add items if needed.

I like to come on here a few times a week to check in to see where I am.

Did you see the strike through strikethrough for our lists? It's right next to the Underline symbol. It makes me giddy now. LOL!

Giddy.....I love that this makes you giddy. Sometimes it is the simple things that make us smile.

I love it and I feel very festive giving it a green strikethrough!

OMG, I didn't!! I love to use that feature in other places. Now i'm going to have to use that instead of the boxes I usually make that I check off with an X. Woohoo!! It's the smallest things that bring the greatest joy. haha

I like the boxes or ( ) - I'm still using them but using the strike through as well. Otherwise, I'd have to have a line item for each daily task...that list would be TOO long.

I am getting used to the new site. There are some lovely new features.
