I'm Making A List

Of things we need for the house. The problem with living in a house that's 100 years old is that there is no closet or cabinet space anywhere and the cost for remodeling is well, not something any of us can afford.

Things we need to buy this year if money ever shows up. (Giggle now, you know you want to)

1. Remnant carpet for the dining room and possibly the living room. A decent area rug for my bedroom
2. Pantry cabinet for the kitchen where we have NONE! Our kitchen is an evil mess.
3. Book shelves for the upstairs hallway.
4. Another recliner for the living room
5. New bedroom furniture for me, but only if I can find a buyer for gram's bedroom suite that would be too awkward to come into our house.
6. Kitty condo

Saturday To Do List

These are things I must do today, or else. I hate to do lists, by the way, because half the time I can't complete a damn thing on them.

1. Gym (I'm going in an hour)
2. Grocery shopping (The bane of my existence)
3. Find ear wipes or something for Mutchka's ear. I think he may have the beginnings of an infection and there's no way I can get him to the vet until next week. And truthfully I would prefer to not have to take him to the vet. The vet always gives me bad news.
4. Watch Who and Torchwood.
5. Charge camera batteries, and replace camera batteries in both Easyshares.

I think that's enough for one day.

Oh and fiddle with some of the tracks on my mp3 player. I've got duplicates and it's annoying.t

Another Weekend From Hell

Another busy one on the way for me...

~ Laundry

~ Grocery Shopping

~ Exercise

~ Cleaning

~ Drink beer. (drink lotsa beer)

~ Sleep

~ Photograph the winter storm that better be a good one!

Getting Nothing Done

Yesterday was a total wash and I'm not sure how much better today is going to be. I had an appointment at the salon for my rat's nest and that ran late. So it was about noon by the time I got home, so instead of doing the gym thing, I did the start on the 2nd Christmas tree thing.

So far the tree is up, but the lights aren't finished and we have no garland. ARGH! Plus the dollar store is about out of all good garland. This is so not fun right now.

So today this is what I have to do...

1. Go exercise before my fat butt gets any fatter.
2. Go to KMart and see if I can acquire the following
a. Hair dye for my rat's nest
b. Garland for the damn Christmas Tree.
c. Start burning the Christmas mixes etc.
3. I need to get through some of my old clothes for a donation to charity.
4. Figure out what to do with some old books (romances, cos I have that romantic streak)

The question is, can I actually accomplish any of this? I really hope I can or I'm just going to cry.

Busy Day

Today is going to be one of those days that I'll feel like my head's spinning when it's over. I've got a full plate and I'm awake far too early for a Sunday morning, but oh well. You've got to do what you've got to do, and today my list of things to do is long.

~ Thanksgiving dinner shopping. (Need a ham and a turkey, though I insist this house is full of turkeys, as well as a host of other nummy things)

~ Trip to Washington to spend some money I don't have at Bath & Body Works because I have 2 coupons.

~ Target to get that dress I didn't buy last weekend. (I want it for Avenue Q at the end of the month)

~ Waffle House for brunch.

~ Jack's this morning so that the scale remains down. We are oh so close to 130 again. I must fit into my cute brown and black striped pants. I miss them.

Now I need to start accomplishing these things, so I can get some sleep tonight.
