So.  The list.

Umm…okay, so I didn’t actually do ANYTHING that was on the list.  I finished Minerva Wakes by Holly Lisle, the first book I’ve read in forever.  It was great fun at points, well-written everywhere, but it didn’t wow me.  That could easily be the fact it took me months to finish it, and my attention was rarely on it alone.  (some images, though, will remain with me forever.  Grin 4)

I did clean the bathroom some.  Bly and I went to the realty company and pointed out that most of the stuff we asked them to fix when we moved in hasn’t been fixed.  We ate lunch at TGI Fridays and worked on Hope’s in-public manners.  We stopped at the library and got the books she’d requested.

Later I made Hope work on her bookcase (since we also stopped at Barnes & Noble, oops) and I started On Basilisk Station by David Weber.  I’ve read it before, but as every fiction novel I picked up today was NOT the first in its series, I was kind of stuck with it.

But hey.  I loved it the first time I read it!

My room is very…white.  I really don’t care to paint, especially when I have to get it back to cottage white before moving out.  I think this would be a better idea, hanging on my closet door.

Especially with this on my bed.  (or maybe I should stay with red?  I don’t know.)

When is payday again?

Check this out!  Happy news!

After thirty years together–my friends got to make it official.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oy.  Is Friday night over already?

Tonight I chatted for hours with friends.  That’s about all I did.  No, wait–that IS all I did.  *sigh*

Oh, and I made a list of stuff I want done before I take up writing again.

  1. I want to give the bathroom a good cleaning.  (don’t ask)
  2. I want to finish my room, including the stuff I shoved in the hall.
  3. I want to wipe down the kitchen cabinets as I promised my roommate I would do a month ago.
  4. I need to get my kid’s room in order.
  5. I want my desk cleared off (again.)  (a system to keep it that way might be helpful.)
  6. I need to visit my friends.
  7. I need to visit my grandparents.
  8. I need to visit my brother and family.

Bleh.  That list looks awfully time-consuming.  I wanna write!! headdesk

So. Today I cleaned out my WORK email inbox. THAT is an accomplishment! I got a few other things done (including storming into my daughter’s school to have a conference NOW–long story, but I’ve been trying to nail down the principal to a date and time, and today the situation came to a head and I wasn’t being put off again, and–(takes deep breath) and it’s dealt with. (It had damn well better be.) (deep breath again.) )

uhh…what was I saying? Oh, yeah. I got my bedroom done! (okay, so I shoved a lot of stuff out in the hall to deal with later. My ROOM looks great!) I put my lamp together, and got rid of the nightstand I hate, and swept out a lot of dustbunnies, and rearranged the closet…

Yay for not-writing time!! (god, I hope it’s over soon!)
