Goals and To-Do's

I would love it if life slowed down for a bit...........but that isn't going to happen anytime soon.....lol.   Well maybe once I'm on Vacation the end of the month, but I won't bet on that.

At any rate, for my sanity and to hopefully keep me focused I'm writing down my goals and to-do's for the next 6-8 wks or thereabouts so that I can make progress and hopefully not lose anything along the way.   Most of these are quilty in some way, but some aren't.  Here's hoping this helps keep me focused on what I need to do.
