Weekend To Do List

This list is normally in my PDA but Tink's Friday blog prompt made me think I should share it with y'all so you can see us city folks are no slouchers. I wonder what the suburban folks in the blogosphere are doing this weekend?

TO DO Saturday!!!
• Measure ALL living room windows
• Hardware store – buy vise grip wrench, adjustable wrench, socket wrench, mini-blinds, and foam caulking to seal window gaps.
• Fix leak under bathroom sink
• Replace all old blinds in living room
• Staightening out & dusting the living room
• Do my Banking (get money order, deposit checks, get roll of quarters, get info on life insurance)
• Go to post office
• Visit Optometrist to get Pumpkin's eyeglasses repaired
• Office Depot – buy filing cabinet
• Visit Fishmonger – get swordfish, sea bass and mussels
• Supermarket – buy groceries for next 2 weeks
• Go to Drug Store – buy sundries
• Take my son to the park and play softball/catch
• While watching College Football do the following:
  - Plan/prep dinners for Saturday, Monday & Tuesday
  - Go online & schedule Milk/Fruit/Veggie delivery
  - Move old files into new file cabinet
  - Put together exercise equipment
  
• While watching Tigers devour Cardinals
  - reconcile checkbook
  - write checks for bils
  - review EOB's against billls submitted to insurer
  - plan for the week ahead
  

  UPDATE: Office Depot didn't have any filing cabinets in the store (huh?). Per salesperson I must order them online. As for fixing the leak and putting together the exercise equipment, I must say that I'm very proud of myself and did both very easily and well, needing only 3 bandaids in the process!
  

  TO DO Sunday!!!
  

• Start 3 loads of laundry
  
• Get Large Coffee & Breakfast treats
  
• Pick up samples for Tammi's visit
  
• Transfer 3 loads into dryers
  
• Return Library books & videos [which I didn't get to watch]
  
• Drop off Dry cleaning
  
• While watching NFL games do the following:
  - Fold tons of clothes
  - Plan/Prep dinners for Wednesday, Thursday & Friday
  - Make pumpkin pie for dinner
  - Continue quarterly filing in new file cabinet
  - Prep clothes for next week
  
• Go to the park – teach Pumpkin tag football
  
• While watching Tigers kill the Cardinals
  - Iron dress shirts (for my son & I = 14)
  - Schedule appointments for next week
  - Dowload Nirvana's "Teen Spirit" into pc & MP3 player
  
• Go to evening service at church
  
• Collapse in bed and finish reading briefing books!

Now if you'll excuse me I've got a bit of work to do. [Oh, to be hanging out with Richmond while she drives through South Dakota. Sigh!]

UPDATE: I was unable to do laundry because I had to help my son with his midterm paper & project: "All about Sharks" Which included making a diorama. It was great fun, although there were some challenging moments, (he wanted to watch football as opposed to working on the project) and it turned out really great. Of course, I might get in trouble with the teacher because I covered the box in blue paper (to represent the ocean), but he did everything else. I swear! We modeled a picture that we found on the web.
