This Week

It's been an eventful week, so I thought rather than try to re-cap all of it, I would simply write down my to-do list for this week:

*Complete budget. Contemplate highway robbery in order to finance Christmas.

*Happen upon a steal of a deal for a new (old) freezer on Craigslist. Rationalize purchase, make pick-up arrangements, and gleefully patronize the frozen food aisle at Kroger.

*Damage phone, this time with an unfortunate (and accidental, obviously) dip in the toilet. Curse profusely.

* Encase phone in rice for 14 hours. When it shows no sign of life, commence slightly frantic search through various Internet venues to buy new phone.

*Find a steal of a phone on Craigslit, meet gentleman selling it that evening. Briefly contemplate his attractiveness, then become thwarted by the gleaming silver ring on his finger. Dang it.

*Learn to efficiently text on new (old) Blackberry. Not as easy as I thought it would be.

*Strenuously consider changing wireless and Internet providers. Make many phone calls in this vein. Remain undecided.

*Visit pediatrician. For the third time. Find another (0r same) ear infection. Ingest more antibiotics. (Not me, the baby)

*Sing. With friends. Enjoy it.

*Play new sheet music, gleefully printed from Sally Deford's free website.

*Have a missionary moment.

*Tell actual missionaries about missionary moment over Stephen's and popcorn.

*Attend class. Wash, rinse, repeat. Again.

*While you're at it, wash several other things.

*Melt down at preschool, in front of Kadon's teacher. This is fun, repeat again on Friday.

*Drive for 3.5 hours to attend a 2.5 hour New Moon Premiere party. Eat cake, enjoy.

*Attend New Moon with friends Saturday afternoon. Enjoy.

*Exercise. Wash, rinse, repeat. Several times.

*Manage general crankiness, fussiness, and fighting.

*Wipe things profusely. Including: Noses, butts, counters, and feet.
