Weekend of Progress

Cross post from MySpace. Because sometimes one blog a day isn't enough.

Progress of Sorts
Current mood: accomplished
Category: Life

So while I haven't done nearly everything I've been wanting to do for ages now, I do feel like I made a lot of progress and did a lot of good things this weekend.

Friday

- Company Christmas party. Kept my white shirt clean through tomato soup, ravioli sauce by intelligent napkin placement, and scored a $50 massage gift certificate.
- Caught the second half of Arthur Lee Land's show at Cafe P

Saturday
- Set up a table at the Indoor Farmer's Market, made somewhere in the neighborhood of $25
- Slept from about 2:30 - 5:30
- Went to a Christmas Party with a bunch of the MUM Latino's and understood a bunch of Spanish

Sunday

- Over the course of the day, G and I changed the sheets, cleaned up the clothes on the bedroom floor and vacuumed and did 4 loads of laundry
- We also throughout the day made tremendous progress on the dining room table: filing, sorting, recycling, shredding mail, magazines, receipts etc.
- Took the dryer exhaust tube off to discover it was ENTIRELY packed with bird nesting materials and lint. Cleaned it out. Our dryer now dries clothes in one cycle, and damp air doesn't exhaust out into the laundry room to keep all the line-dry clothes wet.
- Saw "The Skaters" ballet at the Civic Center, including the Generation NOW show choir opening. Talented kids! I so want to perform on that stage sometime!
- Watered the plants
- Paid bills
- Activated new credit card, cut up expired ones
- Talked to Sarah
- I've also managed to START thinking about Christmas. Which feels good because i was starting to freak out that I hadn't done anything about it AT ALL yet.

If I'm really lucky, I might even order some of my online presents before bed, and/or my plane tickets to Colombia.
