Anyone who's been to my house knows that I write my all-important daily To Do list on my bathroom mirror with a dry erase pen. The reason is simple -- it's the one place I look every morning, and the only place I won't miss a reminder.
It's definitely helpful, if not a bit...in-your-face. Pretty much kills the tranquility and decor of the bathroom when you read "Call doctor about Mark's prescriptions" or "Cub Scout meeting tonight" as you wash your hands. I pride myself on my home decorating skills, but this particular mirror is the downfall of the bathroom.
But not last week. Mark was away at camp, and I was away at work. My friend Edra stopped by to do some laundry, and she left me a message on the mirror before she left. It cracked her up, but I think it made me smile even more.
She'd left me a To Do list for the week Mark was away. Here's what it said:
Usually this is filled with chores, but not this time.
- Have fun with friends
- Relax
- Sleep in
- Read without interruption
- Watch a movie
- Take a long shower
- Eat junk for dinner
- Write
- Do the happy dance
- Live good
I am happy to report that not only did I accomplish all my tasks, I finished them all on the first day! And then, because it was such fun, I repeated most of them on each and every remaining day!
It was great to have a list of fun tasks to complete. But it's even better to have a friend who is kind and thoughtful enough to assign them to me.
