Leading a horse to water

Ok, after some pushing and shoving, I have finally taken the not-so-subtle hint from my sister and other friends that I needed to get a real blog, so here goes! It is the middle of summer already and I feel like I haven't accomplished anything on my length and constantly growing "to-do" list. Most of the items on this list were just waiting around for "decent weather" which has come and gone, and come again, so I guess its time to get down to business!
Let's start with a list:

1. Finish Ty's scrapbook
2. Stain 2 adirondack chairs and assemble
3. Strip and refinish dresser I've had in garage for 8 years (color: pea pod green)
4. Install gingerbread door in laundry room doorway and paint cobalt blue
5. Make 19 tin punched panels for door frames dad is making to cover cubby holes
6. Re-paint downstairs bathroom a nicer color
7. Plant asparagus
8. Plant iris bulbs this fall
9. Find new window covering and rugs for downsairs bathroom
10. Frame antique picture of our schoolhouse to hang
11. Mad Bluebird cross stitch for mom's birthday (9 years ago)
12. Make new christmas stockings
13. Log Cabin Quilt for our bed
14. Paint Interior doors
15. Finish trim and baseboard in house
16. New siding
17. Get a swingset for Ty
18. Matt - build Ty a sandbox
19. Paint ugly stained attic fan cover

How is that for a start? Let's see how much I can get done!
