What will I do with my Sundays now?

The ice has melted (days and days ago), the sun is out, the temps are perfect and yet I still feel that something is just not right. I know what it is. Football is officially over. Sigh. What will I do with my Sundays now? I can look around the house and answer that question with ease. But these are things I have been putting off for a reason, or reasons rather.

1) I don’t want to do them.
2) I don’t think that by completing them that it will alter my mood in any fashion.
3) There are other things I would much rather be doing.

Football was one of them. But now that it is over until next season, I have no more excuses. Although, if I put it off just a bit longer, then my excuse will be, “It is simply too nice outside to be cooped up doing house projects”. I think the best time to do in house projects is during the coldest months of the year. But that poses a problem for me. I know, I can take my Saturdays and do these things, but who wants to add projects to a day of cleaning and errand running. Not me. So, that just leaves Sundays. No other day during the week will do. And yes, I am making this much more complicated that it needs to be because there are 7 days in a week but I am simply fixated on Sundays being project day. So here is the list of little things that I personally would like to do.

1) Create a spot in the closet with multiple hooks on a pretty piece of wood in which to hang all my necklaces. Right now, they are all stacked on top of one another in shoe box size rubber maid container which makes it difficult to pick out the ones I want to wear.
2) Finish sanding down, smoothing out and painting the laundry room table that Hunter built for me months ago. I use it, but it has a very large towel on it so the clothes do not get snagged by the rough wood.
3) Help Hunter build the speaker boxes for the speakers that will go up in the media room.
4) Paint the canvases to be hung in the media room.
5) Cover the game room chairs with the material I bought early last year.
6) Put up chair rail in the living/dining area and paint the bottom portion red. (not bright red, but more of a brick red)
7) If I decide not to do #6 , then I will use the paint I originally bought for that room and paint the half bath instead.

All in all, this list is not that bad. Guess I should stop typing and start doing.
