Thursday To Do List-The Last One Before Thanksgiving!

Thursday To Do List-Thanksgiving Style!  Wow, I cannot believe that a week from today is Thanksgiving!  Are you all ready?  Do you shop on the day after Thanksgiving?  We used to get up super early and head out to the stores, as a matter of fact when I lived in California my mom and I would both shop in our respective time zones and we would call each other during our expeditions!  I don’t go out and battle the crowds anymore but I usually had a good time when I did!  What will you be cooking for Thanksgiving?  Next Tuesday on Try It Out Tuesday would be a great place to link up your great recipes!  Have something this week you think the rest of us should try out?  Link it up HERE.

Blogging

1. Blog at least 5 days a week. Done!
2. Continue Linky Party on Tuesdays, Try It Out Tuesday, please link up! Please link up with us, you can link up anything that you post about and think is so fantastic the rest of us need to try it out, it can be a recipe, a book, some music, anything goes!
3. Comment on at least 3 new blogs.  Done!  This one has been so easy, you all have some fantastic blogs out there!

Personal

1. Try two new recipes. Fail, only got one new one in this week.

3. Outfit Plan  Did it.
4. I will get all the Christmas Gifts for children in my family. done!  As are my kids!!
5. Keep walking!  My step goal is 10,000/day, I want to make that at least 5 days. I am sad to say that my steps have suffered, we have been having quite a bit of rain and when I am stuck inside my steps definitely suffer.
6. Continue closet clean out. Thred UP bag is in my closet, but this is still a work in progress.
7. November spending freeze, I am giving myself permission to shop ONLY the Sephora VIB sale.  What will YOU be buying? I have passed up on a few things during this spending freeze, although I fell off the wagon a big when my mom and I hit TJ Maxx after my colonoscopy!  Have you tried a spending freeze?  How did you do?  If you slipped up did you get back on track?
8. Find an at home meditative yoga video to use. This one totally slipped my mind.
9. Start a new “fun” book. Moonlight On Linoleum.
10. GOT TO get my cleaning back on schedule.  I need to take a day to get caught up and then get back on track! It’s getting better!
11. Continue utilizing my Essential Oils for everything, including cleaning!  Questions about this?  Go HERE. I continue to diffuse my oils at home and work and have been using my Thieves oil for cleaning!

Blogging:

1. Pixelmator I will learn you THIS week!
2. I will create at least two new pins.
3. Improve photo quality on the blog, get some photos taken in advance.  This is tough because I really try to make sure that the outfits I post on the blog are actual outfits I wear and not just put together to photograph and then never see the light of day.  Because of this I am usually running out the door to work and not taking the quality of photos that I want to take!  I NEED to make this better.
4. Comment on at least 3 blogs.
