I did some easy cleaning in the bedroom today, since I've been keeping it clean and neat for a while now. I decorated it before my family company in the spring so it still looks great. The closet is fine, I go thru there each change of season and get rid of stuff each time. I won't be changing out the summer clothes for another 2 months so I'll do that when it starts to get chilly here.
I have my list of gift wrap items needed (curling ribbon! I use it for everything.). I cleaned out the gift wrap last year when I put it away so it is ready to go. I don't want to buy new until I use this up, but I always find something new and cute to use each year.
Card list is on the computer and updated, have 1 new address to get from my nephew. Return labels are done. I won't get cards until they are in the one store I shop at in October.
My hair appointment will get done in December, won't need to schedule until my appt. in November. I do my own nails each week. I like to have black toes for the month of October, then head into festive red for the holiday season. And I do have to plan to make sure I get that done! It's the little details that make life fun!
I also like to plan a few outings with DS. We always go to the train store open house, a few early morning shopping trips at the mall, and a trip to Starbucks to get a holiday drink. I don't know what DD's schedule will be like but she likes to come over to bake cookies with me.
I was checking last year's schedule/calendar notes again and I saw that there was a motorcycle toy run on the same day as the train store open house and I remembered how we sat in traffic for an hour. I quickly looked it up for this year and noted it on my calendar to avoid that part of town this year, and luckily, it is a different weekend than the train party.
Last year DH and I went to a little town by the beach and had a wonderful dinner and Christmas shopping at the little shops afterwards. Probably the best night of the whole season for me last year so that is definitely on the calendar for this year. It was the first year we went shopping together so it was kinda special. He is the variety of husband who shops on Christmas Eve!
The gift closet is usually the corner behind my dresser. I have one Christmas present ordered that DS wanted so that will be coming any day. Not sure if I am giving it to him ahead of time or not as he needs it for his art that he is planning on selling online. This year I WILL put tags on my gifts as I wrap them and break that habit.
Okay - I think that is everything on the list this week! Yay!
