• Things I’ve done while unemployed

  Date: 2008.03.30 | Category: List | Response: 5

  In no particular order:

  • Almost knit a sock
  • Found my desk under a pile of clutter
  • Started eating on a fairly regular schedule
  • Slept
  • Slept some more
  • Watched more of the Food Network than a sane person should
  • Slept some more
  • Bought books that I said I shouldn’t buy
  •  Ate a lot of Jelly Bellies (hmmm should I have some now?)
  • Disassembled much of my office
  • Joined the building gym (although I haven’t gone yet…just got the key on Friday)
  • Watched some more Food Network
  • Found dust bunnies the size of jackalopes hiding under furniture
  • Did not read nearly as many books as I thought I would

  But that last one is ok because I still have lots of time to read.

  I haven’t done this in a few months so here we go.

  The big thing – the BIG BIG thing that I put on this list never thinking I’d actually do it.

  17. Go to Paris

  DONE!!!!

  See here I am top of the Arc de Triomphe.

  

  Far less exciting -

  63. Eat breakfast every day for a week x5 (3)

  77. Get up when my alarm goes off every day for a week x10 7

  80. Geek out for a day and watch all of the LOTR movies in one day – Completed Jan 2008

  92. Go to a museum x3 (Montreal Museum of Fine Arts for Emily Carr exhibit, July 2007, The Louvre January 2008, Musee D’Orsay January 2008 and a bunch more in Europe Jan 2008 including the Vatican Museum)

• Goals for the week

  Date: 2007.11.18 | Category: List | Response: 4

  Because time seems to be flying by at supersonic speed. I swear there is some sort of space/time distortion between weekdays and weekends. The weeks last forever and I blink and the weekend is over. Blarg.

  1. Join the Y. Yeah, yeah. I know. I join a gym, I don’t go. But I need to try because I’m a lazy lump and my lower back is getting bitchy again. As I’ve mentioned before, I have gym anxiety. And in the words of Joshilyn Jackson, “I have co-ordination of a dead drunk sloth in a wind machine.” I’ll just uh stay away from step classes (trust me, it’s a very painful scene).
  2. Get caught up on my book blogging at Sassymonkey Reads. I’m so shamefully behind and I have no excuse other than laziness. But before I can blog I need to figure out what the heck I’ve read.
  3. Plan out some BlogHer posts and try to post before 10pm on post days. And hey, keep an eye out over there. You may see me posting about some non-bookish stuff.
  4. Clean apartment and do laundry. See part above about me being a lazy lump.
  5. Email people that I owe emails.
  6. Try to get through the week without having a breakdown. Believe it or not, this is possibly the most challenging thing on this list.

  Also, a sidenote…

  If you call me and when I answer you ask who is speaking expect me to very bitchily reply with “Who’s calling? You called me.” Or something along those lines. My momma told me not to talk to strangers or tell them my name. That applies when strange people call me and then ask who they are talking to.

  Man I hate wrong numbers.
