It has been a very productive weekend around here. I wasn't able to get everything done that I wanted, but I'm still happy with the results. Saturday was jam-packed full of productivity and today I was able to get some projects out of the way that I have been procrastinating on completing. So, without further ado, here's the weekend's To-Do List with end results:

I would have been alot more productive today had I not woke up at 3 this morning. But, when I got up, I went to the office and spent some time reconciling our three savings accounts. Which, by the way, I hadn't done in two years. Once I found all the paperwork (which was a stack at least 4 inches high), I had to sort it by the three different accounts we have. Then, I had to sort it by date. THEN, I could start reconciling. It took me forever to get everything sorted, but once I had it in order, it maybe took me 20 minutes to do two (Vacation/Christmas Fund, House Fund) of my three accounts and another 20 minutes to do my Emergency Fund account. I was so disgusted with myself. It is a very easy job, much easier than balancing the checkbook (which I also hate doing), but I still procrastinate doing it. I venture to guess that if I just put 5 minutes every month towards those three accounts, it wouldn't take me but another 5 minutes to reconcile every three months when the statements come in. Ugh! Why do I do this to myself? I spent more time looking for the paperwork and then sorting it, than if I just took care of the task as soon as it arose. Anyways, once I got the headache of reconciling the savings accounts out of the way, it was 8 AM. I played a bit on the computer and then laid down for a "nap" at 9:30...and woke up at 3:30. I then got ready and Frank and I went to my parents house to help them set up their new TV and we ate supper over there. We got home at 9 and I have been working on upcoming blog posts ever since.
Since it is Sunday, I have a new task assigned to myself. I loathe, nay--HATE, scooping the litterbox. Why can't my cat go do her business out in the yard like the dogs? Anyways, I hate doing it...so I usually don't. Frank will eventually get around to it. When it's full. Or stinks. Anyways, I have decided that if we just scoop it everyday, it will never get too gross.
Overall, I'm pleased with how the weekend turned out. I hope that the coming week will turn out to be just as productive!
