I began writing my Thanksgiving “Honey Do” list about a month ago.  You know the lists.  Those, I’ll-get-it-done-on-my-next-vacation lists.  My list, not surprisingly, is exceptionally long:

• paint the bathrooms
• clean the closets
• paint the garage
• shampoo the carpets & scrub the floors
• trim the trees & take the rubbish to the dump
• send out the New Year’s cards (from last year)
• send out the Christmas cards (for this year)
• work on photog lessons

And the list goes on from there.

One item I don’t see on the list?

Sleeping in 😉

My reality?  If I manage to clear 4 items off the list above, it’ll be a week of time well spent.

On another note:

I have yet to walk past the house that burned the other day.  It’s too close to home and I can’t stop the “What Ifs” that steamroll through my brain in the moments when I least expect it.  I’ll start walking down there in the next day or so.  I have to.  I need to shed the monkey:  The Barky Boys are safe.  We don’t burn candles in the house (the rumored start of the fire) anymore.  Haven’t done that in years.

Will I ever take pictures of the burned out house?  I don’t know.  I’ve been thinking about it, but …

Hub & I are going to the Festival of Lights tonight.  He asked if I was taking my tripod.  MY tripod.  I smiled.  🙂
