Some of my best completed task have been ones that can be done in 5 minutes. It always seems that the little jobs are the ones we wait to the last minute to get to. ;)HIlton Jesus Freakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520356476815134617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236261894549057311.post-51472582217061435812010-09-02T08:44:34.444-07:002010-09-02T08:44:34.444-07:00I usually only go on short &quot;mini vacations&quot; but I always try to be prepared. Making a travel checklist helps also and your advice about planning meals ahead of time is right on! I&#39;m a vegetarian and between apps on my phone and the internet - we always find great places with plenty of meat free menu items.

I agree about what you said about not wanting to read websites that are too cluttered!Lisa Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07849218772701447919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236261894549057311.post-72994399371359007052009-07-15T11:59:16.728-07:002009-07-15T11:59:16.728-07:00Quick response - I like it to have color, pictures, and organization. I almost never read everything on a website, but a good picture will convince me to read something that I otherwise wouldn&#39;t. If I site is too cluttered, I will almost always leave it, even if the content looks potentially interesting. On the other hand, a too plain site will not keep me there long. I prefer pages or tabs.Like Fudgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09603668069018293986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236261894549057311.post-61628870972600990342009-05-14T02:23:00.000-07:002009-05-14T02:23:00.000-07:00You are very talented.!!

You're welcome to come over anytime to do more research on organizing crafts :) You're right....you have to just "dump everything first, then dive in"...so you're forced to get it organized! I like how I consolidate small items into one storage box - get rid of the odd-sized packaging! It saves soooo much space! <BR/><BR/>Keep the good tips coming!<BR/>alliAlli Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236261894549057311.post-76889699408369604122009-03-03T05:42:00.000-08:002009-03-03T05:42:00.000-08:00Alli and RW...Thanks so much for your comments/ideas!

I love them!<BR/>I have my Wegmans grocery list in an excel spreadsheet with my basics already listed by category AND by the layout of the store. Then I print out a dozen or so and place it near my coupons. The list is printed on the top half of an 8.5 x 11 sheet. So I fold it in half and stick my coupons inside the folded sheet. I like bringing the coupons that I'll be using for the shopping trip and I put a "*" next to the item that has a coupon so I know to look for it when I get to that item in the store. There are blank spots for me to add other foods and items that I need for that week. (Lisa, do I sound OCD too???)<BR/>Btw, Wegmans usually takes expired coupons (sometimes depends on the cashier) and Target takes coupons too!!Allinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236261894549057311.post-70358285507897169242009-02-28T07:48:00.000-08:002009-02-28T07:48:00.000-08:00Thanks Lisa. I used to hate cooking. It was so frustrating -- thinking of what to make, figuring out if I had the right ingredients, and having children underfoot. But after creating a meal plan for the week and making sure I had everything I needed (and only a few meal options to choose from), it's now a snap to get dinner on the table. Me and my family are much happier! I just slip my grocery list into a plastic page protector and use a vis-a-vis overhead marker to check off what I need. The marker comes off with water. Dry erase markers also work well.<BR/><BR/>Rebecca WolfR Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11735610219145445950noreply@blogger.com
