The targets just left the building and will be picked up in five minutes. Going to start decorating tomorrow. I’ll keep you up to date!



Mission: Back from holiday Christmas surprise - Deadline Nov 28 (read all 2 entries…)
This is gonna be awesome!!! 3 days ago

Starting on Saturday, my mom and her husband are going on holidays for a week – to Egypt. So I’m gonna be all alone, watching the house… Now, I just had the most brilliant idea! I’m going to surprise them by decorating the rooms/windows, baking cookies (I know, it’s “biscuit” in BE, but I prefer the word “cookie” :P) and cook lunch for them on the day they come home.

The list in detail:

  • Baking cookies
  • Display cookies on dishes with Christmas napkins on the table in the living room and the kitchen
  • Hang up chain of lights on the window in the living room, my mom’s and my room
  • Hang up a wreath on the front door
  • Look through the Christmas decoration box and see what else I can use
  • Decide on a lunch to cook on their day of arrival
  • Make a “welcome-home sign” and hang it on the front door
  • Candles?

My mom didn’t want any Christmas tree this year, so I’m not going to put one up either.

Anything else I’ve forgotten? – I appreciate any suggestions, btw ^^

Aspiration 3 days ago

To anyone, who thinks this goal is too big/difficult to achieve, just remember what Anita Koddick said:

“If you think you’re too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room.”
