hear me roar

there’s nothing better than to spend an evening with two of your most favourite people on the planet, eating, talking, playing and laughing so hard your chest hurts and you’re gasping for air. thank god for m&m.
the rest of my weekend was spent in an apathetic stupor. i barely managed to get anything accomplished, or at least it felt that way at the time. maybe i should make a list of the things i got done so i don’t feel like such a useless tit.
– got up early saturday morning and went to ikea to fetch karen’s xmas present and drool over the desk i’m lusting after.
– did four loads of laundry.
– made a huge pot of turkey chili and a batch of rice so i shouldn’t have to cook much at all this week. yay.
– washed about a zillion plastic containers and utensils.
– made my art swap crafty items (i daren’t talk about in detail of in case they come peeking).
– started knitting a scarf with this lovely, soft grey wool i couldn’t say no to when i saw it at the craft store (don’t ever let me go to the craft store).
– burned a bunch of cds/installed a bunch of software/cleaned out my ftp directory.
– read a bunch.
okay, that’s a little better. not much, but at least i know i did something. tonight, i hope to have dinner with karen and tomorrow i need to either clean my bathroom or bake some cookies for our departmental xmas lunch wednesday. i also need to phone my papa and find out what night is good for my step-uncle and i to take him out for a birthday dinner.
this is going to be a very long day. i was utterly unsleepy last night and had to force myself to turn everything off and lie down at midnight else i would have been up all night long. of course, i’m now completely cranky and overtired because of it. be glad you don’t work with me today. it’s gonna be hessmonster madness hereabouts.
