Things I want to do tonight or one night this week:

• Work more on bau_bigbang fic
  
• Finish cleaning my drinks cabinet
  
• Change sheets
  
• Exercise would be good
  
• Make a new list of userpics and tags for my reference when doing email entries from work (I hate extraneous tags)
  
• Go back and tag some entries that haven't been tagged
  
• Find a home for those books currently stacked on my trunk/coffee table
  
• Deal with that pile of things that needs to be stuck in a scrapbook
  
• Find the website for that guy in Linden who does eBay consignment
--need to get rid of guitar, library science books, Dell docking station, and the Blackjack

In other news, my best friend has scored two VIP tickets to the New Kids on the Block concert Sunday night. Yes, folks, I am finally going to see NKOTB, only 20 years after I was the only girl I knew who hadn't been to a NKOTB concert. VIP BATHROOMS, YO! VIP PARKING PASS! I'm all about the VIP experience. Now if only I could score the same deal to a U2 concert.

I think that's all, which means I'll probably remember something else I wanted to post about or add to my to-do list just as soon as I hit "send". (Or actually CTRL+ENTER, but yanno.)

So of the things I wanted to do over the weekend...

• Litterbox
  
• Merlin's room cleanup in general - not at all
  
• Clothes weeding - sort of
  
• More book weeding - sort of
  
• Reread novel - halfway through
  
• Next chapter of H/Rossi
  
• Mom's present (note to self: check required DPI before you do all that damn graphic work. crap.)
  
• Laundry
  
• iTunes crap - mostly done
  
• Christmas music
  
• Genesis of Shannara
  
• Edit/post R/R Thanksgiving fic
  
• Mom's job for me: Christmas tree


• Dad's job for me: Help him pick up the antenna tower - taken off the list because of the weather
  
• Get plastic on the bedroom window (Oh, shit, it came off. Stupid plastic.)
  

I ended up playing rather more WoW than I had planned on, of course. But I was fairly productive as well as spending time relaxing, and I made Mom happy by spending some quality time with her sisters, so it all worked out. Of course, right now I'm wishing I'd taken the entire week off, but I know next year I'll be happy to have carried over four vacation days extra.

• Update the CDs in my car. Seriously, I don't need Christmas
  music.
  
• LAUNDRY. Fo real, yo.
  
• Get tires repaired (tomorrow).
  
• Put together research notebook.
  
• Read the AAA book for destination.
  
• Modify and print out Triptych.
  
• Find car charger and extra phone battery.
  
• Pack, of course.
  
• 
  

I'm sure I'll think of more before the day's over.....

One good thing about coming in to work at 7, I get to listen to music
until 8. I wish the VP of Finance would let us listen to music. It
would drown out all the people who chit-chat all the time. Not to
mention music makes me more productive.

For my own reference:

• Computer registration
  
• Computer rebate
  
• Office depot extended plan registration
  
• Make doctor appointment (hooray for insurance!)
  
• Put away all the laundry I washed and folded last night
  
• Record and watch Criminal Minds (W00t!!!)
  
• Make an MP3 CD with all my LotR music on it
  
• Make an iTunes playlist with the music from all three films in order
  (I already have separate playlists, but I want one masterlist)
  
• Find out if the vet has evening hours because Merlin is due for his
  shots (oh joy)
  
• Find out when training starts for the second job (I know it's next
  week, but when?)
  
• Clean bathroom
  

I'll probably think of more things later, but I'll just email those to
myself. This not having access to the LJ server from work is a bummer.
Thank God for email posting.

To do tonight

• Muster up some energy.
  
• Gather upstairs trash
  
• Prepare submission to Weird Tales
  
• Work on Snupin Santa fic
  
• Finish revisions and send Pervy Werewolf fic out for beta.
  
• Measure Room of Doom closet for shelves
  
• Work on map of Teronn
  
• Work on map of The World
  
• Wash reds?
  
• Post Redemption installment
  
• Go to bed by 11. hahahahaha
  

Monday I had a doctor's visit to find out about the heart issues.

( Testing, testing, 1, 2... )

Oh man, I can't stop yawning this morning. And it's the sort of yawning that's constant, almost painful, and makes your eyes water and nose run. I want desperately to crawl back into bed and sleep for several more hours. This is, of course, made even worse by the fact that I have almost nothing to do until the mail arrives around 11:30. And on top of that, the construction guys are running some sort of medium-high-pitched power tool. Not a saw, but perhaps a belt sander or something. I could listen to my iPod some more, but yesterday K-- gave me a heart attack when she came up behind me, and I haven't quite got over that yet.

I think I've nearly finished my first draft of my Resurrection Fest fic for lupin_snape, which is a good feeling. After that I just have the pervy_werewolf one and then Snupin Santa. And I have sworn, no more fests, challenges, or deadlines for me, until I finish Bound Souls and my collaboration with severity_softly, and maybe even Redemption. Which reminds me, I need to get an installment of that finished this week. I've had one started for over a month...

Things I Have To Do This Weekend:

• Sleep
  
• Clean
  
• Laundry
  
• Pay bills
  
• Find some markets for three original stories
  
• Hopefully go hiking with thesnapelyone
  
• Continue refusing to really get sick
  

At this moment, I'd really rather just sleep all weekend.
