- Went to choir rehearsal for "Heritage Singers" (we have a way-talented guy in our ward who is getting a Ph.D. in choral conducting and who put together a sort-of-auditioned choir, many of whom are former members of BYU or BYU-I choirs. It's super awesome. He is going to conduct the MoTab someday, I bet. Actually, one of his arrangements is going to be sung in General Conference this time, I hear!)
- Made breakfast/lunch of scrambled eggs and toast
- Refilled handsoap container with "homemade" foaming soap (did you know you can just dilute bathwash or even regular liquid soap and put them in one of those foaming pump bottles and it works just as well as the twice-as-expensive-as-normal-soap stuff you usually have to buy for those?)
- Took a nap (should have exercised, but I was so tired!)
- Went grocery shopping
- Wrapped and mailed my sister's birthday present
- Cleaned out MOUNTAIN of water bottles and other trash that have been in a pile in the back of the Focus for months
- Took a shower (finally) and got dressed in a skirt
- Decorated for and prepared food for our Stake YW Mother/Daughter Dinner which we had yesterday in conjunction with the General YW broadcast
- Attended the aforementioned activity
- Cleaned up after the same
- Did 2 loads of laundry (still one down there waiting for tomorrow)
- Took out the trash and recycling
- Returned 6 library books
- Wrote my "weekly report" for my advisor
- Sorted through a week's worth of mail
- Tidied the living room and kitchen (mostly because my visiting teachers are coming Monday morning!)
Things I didn't get done yesterday (but wanted to):
- Exercise
- Turning over soil and composting our garden plot
- TAXES (eeks!)
- working on my book chapter which is due on the 31st (eeks again!)
- sewed that button that fell off my dress last week
- Finish putting away the laundry
- Wash my winter coat (been meaning to do it all winter..now it's spring!)
*Sigh* Saturdays always go so by so fast. But I feel better now that I made these lists, because the first one is longer. :)

Wow--you got a ton done! I'm way jealous!! I like that you count taking a shower 'cause that is one thing to accomplish that always seems like it's on my list--such a CHORE!
The choir sounds awesome! What a great outlet for you.
I didn't know you could just dilute bath wash (you mean body wash?) I tried just putting in regular hand soap hoping it was the bottle itself that made the soap foam but that didn't work. Good to know I just need to dilute it.
Definitely can't feel too bad about the things you didn't finish when you look at the huge list of things you DID. That's AWESOME. And I love this post--I keep wanting to do one similar so I can remind myself of what I have accomplished!
Wow! That's productive! Have I ever had a Saturday like that? My lists are always that long, but rarely work through it.
That choir sounds so fun! It sounds like you were plenty busy so the "chores" that didn't get done are totally understandable. (Also: I have the hardest time following through on laundry! Starting it is no problem but I consider it an accomplishment if I get the load put away by the end of the day. And I learned a few months ago not to attempt multiple loads on the same day unless necessary!)
