People often ask "what have you been doing lately?" and I find myself saying, "not much, but I've been really busy!" which always makes me wonder what in the world I'm wasting all my time on. So I decided to actually make a list of what I DID do today...
Wake up at 4am when Nick's alarm went off. (Apparently he thought he might do some last minute studying for finals...*sigh*)
Get up and have coffee with Stan, get dressed to let Nick drive to school. (Driving practice. Though he decided to take the bus to study more.)
Filled out additional financial aid paperwork for MHCC. Spent 45 minutes on hold to find out which on-line form they wanted me to use.
Breakfast (cereal)
Yoga class
Reschedule a bank appointment as I am double-booked for this evening (oops)
Process a return of defective shoes to Zappos, including repacking defective item.
Take package to UPS Store
Return a purse (grandma purchase) to JC Penney
Fill out an online survey to get airline miles
Eat lunch (cottage cheese & pineapple, not too time consuming)
Answer a number of text messages from my mom
Water new plants and spread bark dust
Look into international phone card options so I can call Heather on her cell phone in Namibia (more time on hold to call for the details...)
Check Facebook a few times. Wish my niece Ashley a Happy Birthday. Check to see if Heather has a new blog post. Several times. (HINT HINT HEATHER!!!!! YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BEAT THIS BLOG FOR "NOTHING EXCITING" SO THERE! JUST DO IT!)
Pay a couple bills (Wheaton's bookstore, PGE)
Chase off a guy at the front door very determined to sell us steaks
Return a pile of Claire's junk mail
Clean off the mailbox 'cause a bird pooped on it. A big bird.
Play phone tag with Natalie throughout the day (we're supposed to go for a walk, but it's now 2:30...)
Check Colleen's Blog to see if there's a new entry (no, but she just posted on Sunday.)
Notice that AAAAAACK! I have another follower on my blog! Oh! Hi Naida! :-)
Load and run dishwasher (including redoing the "clean" party dishes that Sophie wallowed on this morning...)
Take the party dishes out to the shed and pack in the bin they belong in
Talk to my mom on the phone
Do a couple loads of laundry
Walk up Mt Tabor with Natalie. (We finally connected)
Make dinner for Stan
Shower, change clothes, etc.
Go to meeting at church for upcoming Los Embajadores mission trip I'm chaperoning. THAT took up 3 hours...
Stop at Fred Meyer to buy birthday card for Nora Nordmark (a belated one by now... Can't just send her an internet greeting while she's off becoming a nun!)
Highlights of Tomorrow's List:
Water Aerobics class
Read with the 2nd graders at Holy Family School
Drive down to Eugene to move Maria back from U of O for the summer
Dragonboat Practice! (last one before Rose Fest this weekend!)
Darn! No lounging about watching tv and eating bonbons...
