My To Do List

Okay how many of you do to do list?  Come on admit it?  

Where do you write these list?  

For me I write them almost everywhere.... on a post it, on my iphone, on my tablet, on a blank piece of paper in the kitchen, and then they get written on the real list in a spiral notebook.

I have to admit the list thing has become more of a necessity as I have gotten older cause well I forget things.... now what was I saying?

Also the other reason is there are so many things I need to do before we go that it occupies my thoughts and unless I put it down on paper I will obsess (yeah obsess, just ask my husband) until I write it down.  Cause I will forget it.... now what was I saying?

So since I am pretty sure some of you go thru this too, here is my list so you can obsess along with me.

• pay cities utility taxes (cause they are due while we are away - this involves calling City Hall to find out how much they are cause the bill doesn't even come out till late Feb).
• pay all bills in advance
• program PVR for shows we just can't miss - Yes I need to find out who Juan gives his final rose too (don't judge me)
• clean house (I can't leave a messy house)
• put together list of things for house sitter
• inform Strata that we are away, and let neighbours know too 
• wash car (don't know why but the car needs to be clean for when we come back)
• buy chocolates for crew as little treats
• do up business cards (cause so many people we meet on board ask) with my info on it with, Youtube channel, my blog (you are reading it right now) and facebook page --- WHAT you don't know about my cruising facebook fan page, well here it is.  Cruising Princess Cruise Line with Vickie
• Hair cut
• Pedicure/manicure
• Pull out clothes and try everything on to make sure it fits and it is practical and so I don't bring five black tshirts.
• Iron all the above - I know how weird is that, I never iron, but for some reason things need to be ironed before I throw it in a suitcase and squish it and make it wrinkled.
• Update Ipod with songs, playlists etc
• Add books onto Kindle so I will not run out of books while away, heck I can never have enough books
• Charge all batteries, camera, fitbit, ipods, laptop
• Add movies to laptop to watch while at sea relaxing in the cabin.
• Send out birthday cards to those whose birthday falls while we are away.
• Get US money
• Confirm all the tours
• Clean out fridge
• Print out cruise documents and luggage tags

oh and a few other things to do with work but our job has it's own terminology and no one except us understands it

So am I forgetting something?  Help cause I will obsess unless I write it down.

All kidding aside, this is a list I usually do for every voyage.  And so far we haven't forgotten anything - so far, now watch me forget something this time.  

Thanks for reading.... now off to bed
