My Fall & Winter To-Do List

 

It feels so weird.  For the first time ever in my life I don’t have a To-Do List written up with a pile of things needing to be done.  After a very productive spring and summer I am left with nothing pressing that needs to be taken care of.  Nothing.  It is a whole new experience for me.

 

With that in mind I decided to make a very different kind of list instead.  I made myself a list of fun things I could do during the Fall and Winter months.  On the list I’ve put down things that I may be interested in doing such as going out to lunch or going to happy hour at some of my favorite restaurants and watching a football game at one of the sports pubs we have.  I added going to a movie, visiting the library, the state capitol and/or a museum to my list.

 

This year I want to bundle up and take a nice long walk along one or two of the streets that are lined with historic homes and take in their holiday décor at Christmas.  I might take a winter drive to Idaho City just to enjoy the snow and have lunch at a restaurant there that I like and haven’t been to in ages.  I want to visit the local chocolate shops here in Boise and partake of some delicious truffles.

 

I hope to go to a town two cities over and visit their Winter Wonderland venue.  While I am there I will enjoy Chinese food at a small family owned restaurant and buy something from a local soap shop.  I may pop into a cute used bookstore while I’m there as well and make a day of it.  Visiting antique shops is also something I enjoy doing so I added that to my list.

 

With so many wonderful and fun options I should be adequately entertained and fulfilled.  No sitting around doing nothing while I wait for spring to arrive.  It is important to have things to look forward to, especially when the weather gets gloomy and cold.  I can hardly wait to get started!
