Came back from vacation to tons of work. I can't complain. New listings are always fun. It will be tough to accomplish all I want to this week, but let's see what the list looks like.

• Daily Bible reading - I am so far behind, but I am trying to stick with it and read a little each morning.
• Back to school shopping (Ugh, I hate shopping) - DONE
• Phone interview - Thursday (being interviewed by the state association)
• Meet with the elder care attorney - Today
• Meet with real estate partners - Wednesday and Thursday (need to thank those that help me)
• Pictures and paperwork for three new listings
• Exercise - Wed, Thur, Fri, and Sat

That's my crazy list. What does yours look like?

Mailbox Monday - Aug 19

Mailbox Monday is a meme started by Marcia of To Be Continued. Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. It now has a permanent home at the Mailbox Monday blog.

We arrived home from the Outer Banks on Saturday, but the post office appears to be holding my mail hostage. I don't think I am expecting any books, but who knows.

Right before we left, this book I had on pre-order arrived. I'm so excited. Can't wait to read it.

What was in your mailbox?

Guess what? I'm cheating. It's late Thursday night and I am posting this as if it were Tuesday. LOL! Where does the time go lately?

Here is what my week looks like:

• Read Bible daily - I'm still behind, but I'm still reading. Printed off my list of chapters to read so I can have it with me wherever I go.
• Edit three chapters - Two done and working on the last one. Only five more to go!!!
• Exercise - Two days down and hope to get a little exercise in on Friday
• Prepare Book Promotion Workshop - this will probably move to next week, but I volunteered to hold a workshop on promoting your book for our local library
• Clean the bonus room - This is slowly becoming the junk room. I won't finish this week, but I need to get started.

How is your to-do list looking this week?

Somehow we ended up back at Monday again. I didn't blog much last week because I was dealing with last minute closing issues. Thankfully, everything worked out fine. Two closings last week, updating marketing for another listing, getting three lots under contract, and two open houses kept me tied up.

This week will be a bit hectic because animals and people have doctor visits, we are getting ready for the girls to head back to school, and I'm working on this great project for one of my publishers that I am totally excited about.

My mailbox has been busy too! These two arrived.

My virtual mailbox also picked up these ones.

What presents did your mailbox hold this past week?

Well, last week was the typical week after vacation chaos. Not as much done as I would like, but still made progress:

• Read Bible daily - Still in Proverbs
• Blog - Blogged at all but one blog last week
• Edit three chapters - Finished two out of three
• Listings - One made it online. Still waiting for the other two to be ready.
• Make car appointment for next week - DONE
• Pay bills - Ha! Ha!
• Exercise Wed and Thurs - Did it Wed, so that's progress. 

What does this week look like? 

• Read Bible daily - I'm still behind, but I'm still reading
• Blog - If I post once this week at each of them, I will be happy
• Edit three chapters - Probably optimistic, but should get two done
• Pay bills - Must do
• Exercise  Mon, Tues, Thurs - The doctor said four days a week, but probably can't do that (Monday is done)

What does your to-do list look like? Are you accomplishing what you've wanted to? What are some obstacles that stand in your way?

Here we are at Monday again. This past week was filled with catching up at work, a minor real estate dilemma, a writing webinar, and dinner with friends.

In my book world, two new ones arrived, which I need to review in September.

The first is a ghost story and the second an alternative history novel. Not my typical reading fare, but I like to delve into other genres when I get the chance.

What was in your mailbox this week? What genres are your favorites and what is a genre that you need to step outside your comfort zone to read?

Welcome back to the real world. The task list was so much more fun from the beach. Back in MA, it's time to get to work.

• Read Bible daily - I'm spending a lot of time in Proverbs right now. It's helping me deal with a few issues that have cropped up. So, I might not keep up with the daily chapters.
• Blog - trying to keep all the blogs fresh at least two days a week
• Edit three chapters - Finishing the first one today
• Listings - Two might be delayed, but one new one is happening tomorrow. I'm almost all set for that one. 
• Make car appointment for next week - DONE
• Pay bills 
• Exercise Wed and Thurs - Did it Wed

I think that's it for right now. 

What does your to-do list look like right now? Is there anything special you're hoping to accomplish?
