To Do List Success!

At the beginning of the week I posted my to do list.  Here is what came of it:

• take my son to do something fun and out-of-the-ordinary
We had big plans, but due to the rain ALL WEEK, we ended up visiting the Art Lab at Washburn University on Tuesday morning.  If you've never done this, give it a try!  It's a blast and it's FREE!

• go on a date with my hubby :)
Wednesday night we went to my favorite restaurant in Lawrence - Encore!

• deep clean my car, inside and out
One good thing about the rain this week was that it made my need for a car wash obsolete.  I did clean the car out Thursday morning with the help of my husband.  We went to that car wash place across from Outback where they advertise the use of vacuums for free, so it didn't cost a cent!

• reread Unveiled by Francine Rivers
Done! You can read the review here.

• organize my closet
I did this first thing Monday morning and guess what?  It's still clean!

• do some menu planning
I didn't do quite as much of this as I was hoping for, but I got some done.

• deep clean the first floor of the house
I did this in pieces, but it did get done!
• make crock pot mac & cheese
Yup!  I'm not a huge fan of this recipe myself (I am very picky about macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes), but my husband and son loved it.
• make Chicken Fried Chicken using the family recipe (which I will post...amazing)
I did this, but it did not go as planned.  I forgot to take pictures, but it really wouldn't have mattered because, while the chicken was fine, the gravy ended up a messy clump not fit to eat. :(  I'll try again another time and post the recipe with pictures then.
• finish and publish my post about using whole chickens
