What to do?

Since this is what it looks like out my front door this morning,

and since my morning duties of getting Lexee, Bill and Shilo fed and out the door are complete (believe me, it's a long, busy process that starts at 5:30 and concludes around 7), I am considering my options for what to do with my day... until 2:45, after which it is all spoken for.

I would like to go climb back in bed and sleep for a couple of hours.  If I'm really quiet, off-track Mauri may sleep that long too.  It could be a nice, uninterrupted session of shut-eye catch-up.  Hmmmm....

I should go put on my workout clothes and get down on that treadmill.  Then, as I am huffing and sweating away I could see the need to take care of this little area of my life:

This is our catch-all table in the basement.  I usually clear it off about once a month... I think this stuff has been accumulating for a tad longer than that, though.  And the table is all sanded and ready for a new coat of black paint (I purchased the primer and paint about a year ago).  I keep thinking that if I just get the paintbrush and primer out and start, it will probably take less time than I think and I will spend the next year asking myself, "Why didn't I do that sooner?"  My goal is to make this table beautiful and replace my sad, worn-out table in the kitchen with it.  (Yes, they are actually the same table -- some friends of ours gave us theirs in exchange for a Chaparral card -- what a bargain!)  Then I want to take my table that is currently in the kitchen, sand it down, and paint it some crazy color like red.  Just for fun.

Maybe if I go back to bed, I will wake up with renewed energy to tackle the treadmill AND the table.  Hmmm... still thinking.  Tune in tomorrow to find out what I actually did with my day (motivation for me to be able to say I did something rather than nothing).
