What's On My . . . Monday?


I found this meme on Ali Edwards's blog, though she credits her sister. I thought it made a nice variation for my Monday morning check-in. Today's photograph is of the apple tree which is finally starting to blossom

What's On My . . . 
VANITY:  Toothbrush and toothpaste; Decleor skin care products; Deva Curl hair care products; our wedding Budda.
PERENNIAL TO DO LIST: Clean up my art desk; Clean out the garage; Clean up my office at work; Edit the vacation pictures from last summer; Work on my heritage/genealogy scrapbook. 
REFRIGERATOR SHELVES: Lots of leftovers; milk; sparkling water; apple juice; cheese; cauliflower; asparagus.
ITINERARY:  A trip to Detroit at the end of week to do some work for the United Auto Workers; Gypsy gets a much-needed grooming on Thursday.
FANTASY ITINERARY: Australia; Greece; Hawaii.
PLAYLIST: The Avett Brothers new album; Rebel Beat by the Goo Goo Dolls; Aint Messin Round by Gary Clark; 93 Million Miles by Jason Mraz; Tightrope by Walk the Moon; San Francisco by the Mowglis; Modern Love by Matt Nathanson; Stubborn Love by The Lumineers; and Hero by Family of the Year
NIGHTSTAND:  A bottle of Smartwater (my favorite); my jewelry box; a heart shaped rock from Deb Turtle; a guardian angel shrine.
WORKOUT PLAN:  Strength and stretch class at my gym; power blast class at the gym; long run (10 miles) on the weekend; medium run (6 miles) on Wednesday.
IPHONE: MLB.com At Bat; Splice; Shazam; Fandango; Snapseed; Instagram; and Netflix.
TOP 5 (To Do) LIST1. Make sure Henry gets his homework done. 2. Write exams for my classes. 3. Fold the laundry. 4. Talk to Henry about a college decision. 5. Prepare for the last week of class.
BUCKET LIST: To see wildflowers bloom in the desert. . . and a few other things.
MIND: The value of spending time focusing on Clara, first-and-foremost as a parent, but occasionally as a friend. Planning for Henry's 18th birthday.
BLOGROLL: Most of you! 
WALLS OF YOUR FAVORITE ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE: Nothing but yellow paint on the walls of our bedroom; prints by Thomas Killian in our living room.
LIQUOR SHELF: Dark rum for Rum and Cokes; Stoli Vodka for martinis; and Sapphire Gin for Gin and Tonics. We're always short of the mixers, though!
LAST CREDIT CARD STATEMENT:  Dinner out way too often!
SCREENSAVER: An awesome baseball portrait of my son taken by the amazing Becky Ruppel is on my phone; a cute picture of Gypsy on my computer.  I change my phone screen saver all the time, but I rarely change the one on the computer.
TV EVERY NIGHT: San Francisco Giants baseball; we watch almost every game. And then, whenever I get a chance - Mad Men; Top of the Lake; Nashville; CSI; Body of Proof; Vegas; Project Runway; Grey's Anatomy; Chicago Fire. Yes, I'm a bit of an addict.

Love this Rinda! I saw it on Ali's blog and thought I'd have a go too. Another interesting peek into your life:)

beautiful photo and great list - been thinking of doing it too. I love Project runway too

Mary B said...

I like that photo the colouring is so unusual
I also like the idea of a list like that, no good at to do list but I fancy doing this one as it is more like thought processing than 'got to do'

That perennial to do list looks so familiar just change art desk to scrapbooking desk. :) Ok, I need to go check this out on Ali's blog. You're going to be so near me but still so far later in the week. (:

I love this Rinda, Your perennial to do list could be mine and your Liquor shelf, change the rum to white and it is mine. :)

Amy said...

I also saw this on Ali's blog - I think the prompts really give an insight to life of the blogger ... homework had to be on the agenda here tonight ... my fridge could tell a story all of its own!

Karen said...

Fascinating list! I've been too busy and am way behind on reading Ali's blog so I hadn't seen this one. I'm glad to see others have a perennial to do list! Have a great week!

Sian said...

I think I could probably combine at least a couple of these and say - what's on my perennial to do list? Clean my refrigerator shelves!

It's a great list

What fun to read your "what's on my" lists. :)

Melissa said...

What a neat look at What's On in your world! My perennial to-do list looks very similar except that my craft table is clean & I finally got all last year's photos processed!

Julia said...

Love this list - a great thing to read as a post.

Great list of things! Making sure the boys do their homework is always on the top of my to do list.

Looks like such a full and fun life!

Deb @ PaperTurtle said...

Oh, I love this list, Rinda. It made me smile to know that the heart rock I gave you is on your nightstand. ♥

You always have such a cool set of music going on - don't you just LOVE Jason's 93 Million Miles song? Fav!!!

Planning an 18th birthday party sounds like fun. I'm hoping my son will let me plan a party for his 16th birthday. He'd rather have a small group of family (much like me), but I enjoy seeing him with his friends.
