To do

Well, the past week off has been a blur, really. And now, I am starting to realize that there are things I want/need to get done over the next few weeks, and that maybe I should plan out my vacation (urgh!)...hmmm, 'planning' was not an option two seconds ago:

1) Spend as little money as possible
2) Make 5 tourtières, buy wine+eggnog; think and make 'mou' gift for xmas party on the 17th
3) Buy 'not-so-secret' santa gift for sibling
4) Buy birthday gifts for siblings, and other thoughts (lots of 'buying' so far....not good with no.1)
5) Goodbye dinner for DC girly-friend before she leaveth
6) Spend time with family, baking and petting cats (and sister - see, told you your time would come!)
7) Take xmas tree wayyyy out of huge closet, install 11 series of lights, decorate with ornements, sit back and sigh at purtiness (that sounds like a good tomorrow plan...and is FREE)
8) Grrr...write essay no.3 for CW before the 15th... ack! Think 'Sidewalk'.
9) Find someone to help me out in my back-to-back AH dilemma, pronto!
10) Prepare Borromini presentation for the 6th of January; spend two days at Rare Books reading ze rare book (check library opening hours during Holidays)
11) Winterize my place: take out screens from windows, take down shade from balcony (should be done before tree/closet re-configuration - it's all falling into place)
12) [Am I really up to 12?] Spend time fruitfully (hee hee)
13) SELL SELL SELL MF ticket on EBay (and hope for a profit)
14) Take care of Dr. business
15) Go to Musée d'Art Contemporain
16) Christmas cards - am I sending some out this year? Minimum: send Christine's so that it gets there on time!!!
17) Futz around with new MovieMaker software and vlog my little heart out.
18) Write this out on huge Dayplanner in back of door, stop futzing around on the blog and go out and get things done!!!
