A very long "to do" list

Ever have one of those nights where you're able to come up with a million and one things that you'd rather be doing?

Home:
Dig flower beds below the terrace/steps
Mulch
Not kill this most recent hydrangea or basil plant
Paint the living room
Paint the kitchen
Paint the hallway
Paint the guest room
Paint our room
Paint my craft room
Paint laundry room
Get into a system of housekeeping so it doesn't look like Hurricane Heidi came through
Buy furniture that I actually like ...
Declutter to only what I need or love

Personal:
be a better wife
be more diligent
be effective in my use of time
be generous with my time but not to the expense of my family
have confidence but not arrogance
have a kinder tongue
have a gentler spirit
be reliable to those I tell something to
be someone who can put anyone at ease
be able to share truth kindly but firmly
be more well-read and better educated
be less dependent on others to determine my mood

watch less TV/waste less time on the internet
