be unapologetically listy

1. Exercise somehow – either go on a bike ride or use the gym in K’s building.
2. Backup music files on external drive.
3. Go back on diet! (I was bad bad bad the last few days…oops.)
4. Catch up on writing the NaNoWriMo novel (should be somewhere around 27,000 by Wednesday).
5. Go through and unpack remaining boxes in living room.
6. Grocery shopping at Whole Foods – make list before going.
7. Design a simple business card and find out about getting them printed.
8. Take out compost and recycling.
9. Set up a filing system.
10. Clean the floors in the bathroom and kitchen.
11. Fix shower curtain.
12. Organize the kitchen cabinet where I just threw in all the random stuff that didn’t have a home.
13. Go through bedside drawer and re-organize.
14. Go through CDs again (sell, sell, sell!) and set up stereo.

Oh, is that all?

I don’t own a television due to the fact that it ends up being a total time-sucker for me, but I’m not entirely opposed to the idea of following a few specific shows, which I can stream off various websites.

1. True Blood
2. Californication
3. Weeds
4. Sons of Anarchy
5. Dexter
6. Intervention (which I catch up on when I’m house sitting, usually)

I think that’s it, actually. It’s not very much, and I like it that way.

• A black work dress. Swishy, but fitted.
• Scented burning wax for my oil burner. Spicy apple, lime and lemongrass.
• A really nifty little gadget that takes off pilling on jerseys.
• A wall hanging for my bedroom.
• A slouchy, comfy hoodie that still manages to be pretty.
• An electronic skipping rope.
• Much stationery. Pens galore, a wall-planner for next year, and highlighter/pen duos that I can tell will be an appreciated tool for reading cases.
• Best of all: a sense of peace and perspective.

• purchase hair dye (shade: nougat) and dye hair (Friday morning/night?). (fantastic shade – lovely tinges of red)
• double check bus times. (12pm, platform 9)
• return library books.
• arrange for someone to collect us from Rotorua.
• purchase Property Law Act.
• pay disastrous fines at library, and then get out shorthand and lucid dreaming books!

1. 43 Things (Obviously.)
2. Goodreads (Perfect place for a book-obsessive like me.)
3. Facebook (A guilty pleasure.)
4. SOCIALNOTWORKING (A lovely site full of intelligent conversation. I love all the people who hang out here. We need to recruit more users for it in the near future…so check it out, if you feel so inclined.)
5. Gmail (Need I explain?)
6. Google Reader (I have wayyyyy too many subscriptions on this thing.)
7. Current (News that you can vote on. Some good user-created content on here too.)

• email boss with details of the paper I’m taking over summer.
• purchase items (toe socks, squishy pads) to comfortify shoes.
• put grip pads on the bottom of those amazing heels I have, so that I can actually wear them.
• list all clothes on trademe (I might actually consider having a separate goal for this).
• group all notes together (this is more of a reminder – it’ll probably end up under a “survive the exam period” kind of goal).

The last few nights (actually, admittedly not last night, as I was out like a light the moment my head touched the pillow), I’ve found myself lazily compiling lists in my head of lots of little things I could do to make life better.

I’ve seen this goal on other people’s pages, and thought “why not”? So, I think I’ll use it as an online storage cupboard for the ideas that would otherwise float away before I can snatch at them.
