Winter 2016 Mini Bloggiesta

I am getting a late start this morning, but I have still decided to join in the Bloggiesta fun this weekend!  I have so much I want to get caught up on and because I have a three-day weekend, I'm going to see how much I truly can accomplish on the blog, for my class, and around the house.

For those that are not aware what Bloggiesta is, it is a weekend (in this mini case) to set aside some time to work on cleaning up our blogs.  For more information, check out the devoted blog for sample to-do lists, challenges, etc.

This will be the list that I am working from this weekend for the blog:
  • Back-up Blog 
  • Back-up Template 
  • Catch-up on Emails (currently at 14)
  • Update Books Read in 2016 
  • Update A-Z Review Index 
  • Update BBI Blog Index 
  • Update BBI Guest Post Index 
  • Clean Out TO READ Notebook & Facebook Saves (currently at 160)
  • Catch-up on Blog Reading (Feedly currently at 643)
  • Catch-up on Reviews (too many to count!)

I have many other things on my overall to-do list for the weekend:  reading for my class, watching a movie or two for my class, taking notes for my class, completing some projects for work, cleaning out my garage, helping my daughter finally organize her room, and getting in a bit of fun reading for myself.  Oh, and I can't forget to mention that my boy is having a little sleepover celebration for his birthday and we are heading to see the Star Wars movie again!  And, I'm hoping to finally replace my stolen phone this weekend because I can no longer live without one!

Phew!  

Despite my slow start this morning, I've still got some high hopes for this weekend!  I will be posting updates on Twitter and hopefully, Instagram, but a full wrap-up will be shared here on the blog at some point in time on Tuesday.

Are you participating in Bloggiesta this weekend?  If so, what are your goals for the weekend?  If not, what do you have planned?

    1. Candy @ So little time ... Thank you! I've been able to knock out a number of the items, but some I just didn't get to some of them. I will try a bit more tonight before officially wrapping it up for the weekend.
