10 things on the 10th (October)

Ten things I wish I could do all in one day -- today! (Today is Thanksgiving, a stat holiday.)

1. Clean our house from top to bottom
2. Fix the drainage problem on the east side of the house
3. Get a new faucet for the kitchen sink (it's leaking)
4. Create Blurb books of my blog posts, Jan-Aug 2011
5. Take care of September photos (monthly photo tasks)
6. Complete the layouts I started at Crop & Create
7. Complete a few other layouts started months ago
8. Photograph layouts for the BSS Flickr gallery
9. Do 1st couple assignments for The Art of Composition
10. Take a photo for Picture Inspiration week 33

Hmmm, what will I actually be able to do today? Just a small fraction of this list, and right now I'm leaning toward some items on the second half of my list. Decisions, decisions.
