Checkmarks between the travel

Rototill the garden - check. Finally finish the taxes - check. Fly to California - check. GTD - filing of personal paperwork - check. Close out personal mailbox - check. Laundry - check. Take a red-eye to New York - check. Visit to garden center - check. Buy first plants of the year - check.

OK - I like this GTD system. It forces you to write down all of the little nagging stuff that you have to do but never remember or get around to doing. Plus about 90% of my annoying paperwork is off of my desk. I highly recommend the book and the system.

This weekend, W and I rented a tiller and tore up the garden plots around our house. We are also preparing a plot behind our back fence which has ambitions to be a vegetable garden. If all goes well, we'll be begging you to take tomatoes, onions, peppers and herbs off of our hands in a few months.

Saturday afternoon, we went out with our friend Sara and her two adorable kids in metropolitan downtown Mebane. We had sandwiches and sweet potatoe fries from our favorite local place, Strong's. Then we waked around downtown and visited the ever increasing number of antique / consignment / gift stores. So nice to just run around for two hours!

Tomorrow I take off for California, then on to New York and Connecticut and then back to RDU and home on Friday afternoon. (Hence the checkmarks between the travel and my photo from last week's trip to Connecticut). I'll arrive just in time to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! Green beer anyone?
