This list of course doesn't include the ongoing things, like cleaning house, school, laundry, exercise, cooking, card making, writing, geocaching and others (many others). I only included the things that actually have end dates and that once they are done, I feel like I accomplished something that doesn't have to be worried about again for at least several months.

Just reading your list makes me feel sleepy. :)
Ouch.
That's quite the list.
I agree that you shouldn't sign up for the library thing :)
I think your list of things that you have to do may actually be longer than mine. Good luck with all that!
You never cease to amaze me with all the things you have going on. If I made a list like that, I would curl up in the fetal position and not move for a month from depression! ACK!!!
I think I just did curl up into a fetal position.
It's really not that big of a deal...the old projects just sort of hang there until I get the current ones under control, and if I have free time, I hit one of the old ones. I have to say though, that it is the old ones that really make me feel like I got something done. The everyday stuff is well...everyday, so I guess I am just used to it.
What has happened in the last few weeks (since our friends moved to town) is that I am getting more done at their house than at mine (but she is 8 months pregnant and her husband is not here yet and they really need stuff done around their house to make it easier on her).
So like today, I have been trying to tackle a project here before heading over to help them out. My leather couches are enjoying the protectant I just spent an hour putting on them....haha.
I'm a fairly organized person but the list above amazed me--positively, of course.
