Eight Things on My Fall “To Do” List
September 21, 2009 by Kimberly · 5 Comments
I’m so excited that I was actually able to do all of the things on my Eight Things on My Summer “To Do” List. (I think that the trick is keeping the number of items small!) I was planning through the fall and there isn’t much that I really want to do. That’s probably good since it’s already filled with so many calendar events anyway.
1. Help Michael adjust to full day Kindergarten. (He does not really like it right now – too many kids and too many hours. We’re keeping an eye on it…)
2. Attend the Wedgwood brand’s 250th anniversary celebration at the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum in D.C. I was talking with a Jewish friend about the event and she said, “Wegwood, Daughters of the American Revolution…you wouldn’t normally associate a Black person with those two things.” That’s exactly why I want to go. Black people buy china just like everyone else! Also, since I was a history-sociology major in college, I’m intrigued by the Daughters of the American Revolution. I primarily associated DAR with the group’s refusal to let the Black singer Marian Anderson performs at Washington’s Constitution Hall. (It led to her famous concert at the Lincoln Memorial.) Times change though and I know that the DAR has had Black members since then. In any event, I think that it will be a special day.
3. Attend my church’s annual Women’s Day on 10/3. I love the timely theme – “The Missing Peace”.
4. Speak on the Blog-Life Balance panel at Blogalicous in Atlanta. (I have never been to Georgia before.)
5. Go apple or pumpkin picking.
6. Do something fun for Halloween. (I have no idea what. Normally, we go to the American Museum of Natural History’s Family party, but I think that we’re outgrowing it.)
7. Enjoy a nice, quiet Thanksgiving. (If I had my pick, we would just order in Chinese food!)
8. Get the Mom in the City site re-designed. (After hundreds of survey responses, I have a gist of what you look for when you come here.)
What’s on your fall “to do” list?
Well, as I’m expecting in just a few weeks I would be using the camera to film baby; we’ve got to document every ittle thing so we can share with the extended family!
I would love Chinese for Christmas but I love the turkey and all the fixings at Thanksgiving.
After reading your list I decided I need to make a list – haven’t quite decided what I want to do but I’m thinking now – I really would like to do something nearby, that I haven’t done before. Maybe go to a fall festival or a town activity where’s there are lots of food and booths to check out. Hummm…
Thanks for making me think ahead. : )
A chinese thanksgiving would be great! I’m not too big on the food we normally have. As for me, I’d like to write more and do well in all my classes this semester since I have a lot of things I don’t want to take, but I have too…that kind of thing.
Figure out really good gifts for everyone for christmas. It’s going well so far!!
Oh goodness I need to get a list! I really need to paint the porch, but shouldn’t I wait until Spring/? lol.
There’s so much to do!
I’ve to study, meet my love, work at dad’s restaurant – see, I’m young but so much work to do… I wish I was rich :p
