Oh Holy Sh*t!

You know that I am a massive list maker. And even bigger list-loser. I confess, I usually find lists I wrote for groceries, recipes to try, restaurants to visit, gifts to buy, replacement clothes to buy, music videos to see, movies I saw previews for and want to investigate, books to read, random things to look up on the internet, etc. I could list some more topics, but you get the point, lol. Well, I found a list... not where it belonged (aka, my coffee table or purse). It was one I had made months ago, in prep for my parents' 30th anniversary.  CRAP! Such amazing plans, such cute ideas for gifts and an amazing cake idea.
But with my need to make myself insanely busy, I have no time to make 98% of the stuff on the list. Ok, downsize time... I can run to the store and get stuff for recipes. Talked to Two, and made reservations for dinner... planned something to get us in the area for said dinner to avoid being late. Got Three on board, and told her to bring cash.
Ok... now I am covered for Friday... I think.
Oh {bleep, bleep, bleep}! That means if I want to do anything supremely amazing for my next birthday, I need to get to work now! At the rate I get projects done, I need to start now.
Where's my paper and pen?
Ah, here's some paper... "Things to get done before October:"... Oh crud!
Ok, I'll just flip it over... "Make plans with Febtober for his b-day Oct 29th".
Double crud! I have my clinicals that day. Ok, I'll do it early... which means another trip to the store for his usual birthday treat. I need to see if he wants to do any haunted houses... and keep from being grounded.
Maybe my quest to "be busy" is starting to have drawbacks...

On the positive side, and to give you some more randomness by numbers:
72: Days until vacation
11: more pounds and my total is 100 lost
8: months to fit into my bikini... Must stop doing OT and do exercise DVD!
6: people that have or will have random texts from me this week :)  (new mini-project)
4: months and I do research for a new apartment or consider houses
3: months to do as much on my list (on the right) as I can!
1: Seconds it took me to curse again at the amount of stuff to get done

I think I found a New Years resolution... stop with the lists!
