Weekend To Do List

Yesterday morning, I made an exhaustive to do list of everything that I ideally wanted to get done this weekend.  Here's what got done:

1. Fill out phone rebate paperwork
2. Find microwave manual (door is broken)
3. Find refrigerator manual (water thing is still broken)
4. Clean out drawer of manuals (so 2 & 3 won't happen again)
5. Clean out junk drawer
6. Clean out small appliance cabinets
7. Deposit at bank
8. Upload photos for a friend
9. Place all baking ingredients into pretty new labeled jars (since I have 6 kinds of flour and arrowroot to deal with now)
10. Dust downstairs
11. Pay bills
12. Massage
13. Eyebrows
14. Pedi (this was a bad idea because I really shouldn't have soaked the new tattoo)
15. Blog updates
16. Clean powder room
17. Clean cable box (if you had a greasy hairless cat, you'd understand why this is a separate task)
18. Order prints of photo of grandparents
19. Laundry
20. Find a boy to send B2's clothes to
21. Deal with stack of coupons
22. Deal with stack of old magazines
23. Get stuff off of bar so it can go upstairs
24. Get stuff from nursery
25. Put away crap on floor
26. Make sure all new shows scheduled to tape
27. Clean out purse (purse is big and is magnet for receipts)
28. Re-pot plants for work
29. Clean kitchen window and sill (another favorite perch for the cats)
30. Clean and organize stuff in laundry room
31. Switch out recycling bins in kitchen
32. Transfer money to ING
33. Clean armoire (this wouldn't be so bad if the wee petri dishes weren't nursing future hoarding disorders)
34. Create place for baking pyrex to live
35. Clean out sample drawer (all gone and now home of baking pyrex)

These are the things I didn't get done:

1. Find art receipts for recent paintings sold
2. Find art authentication certificate for print sold
3. Vacuum downstairs (hopefully I can do this tomorrow after work)
4. Clean inside of car (I did technically throw everything into the back seat, so at least someone can sit in the car comfortably).
5. See if color printer still works
6. Mop kitchen floor (I scrubbed the biggest offending areas while doing other stuff)
7. Cat baths (they'll still be dirty all week, so meh)
8. Clean our bathroom (upstairs is probably going to be next week's project.  Our sitting room is also a huge mess.)
9. Dust all blinds (moving forward to next weekend
10. Change sheets (this will happen tomorrow since Brian went to bed before I could do it)
11. Organize clothes to send to Laura D and Robin C.
12. Move boxes upstairs

In addition, I completed the following items that were not on the list:

1. Bake one batch of health almond thins (none for Kellie)
2. Bake one batch health chocolate chip cookies
3. Make health three bean salad
4. Perform an unmentionable act on cat in distress (the post traumatic stress probably contributed to why I didn't finish more stuff)
5. Grocery shopping
6. Visit sunflower for one item and spend $50
7. Purchase Brita water filter since fridge will not dispense water and I am damn sick of buying gallons of water WHEN MY FRIDGE IS SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE WATER WITHOUT WASTEFUL PACKAGING
8. Selected fall/Halloween art piece for my office.  (Trading out one Seonna Hong for another.  The drawing of the Princess of Darkness will be nice for Halloween.)
9. Spent a lot of time thinking about how much I wanted to take a nap but couldn't because a list was ruining my life
10. Sent offensive emails to Robin to cheer self up after traumatic cat incident
11. Repeatedly assured husband that he does not have swine flu
12. Got scolded for not informing massage therapist that I got a new tattoo because I did not know it counted as something he "should know about"
13. Sent mind control thoughts to Kat because I showed her mine and she hasn't shown me hers
14. Tried to figure out a way to break up with threading lady that I keep getting stuck with because she doesn't get the whole super arched 50s housewife look that I'm going for
15. Realized that it was Ramadan and ate a cookie during daylight in Nudrat's honor
16. Remembered that I don't like football and don't get what all of the fuss is about
17. Got pissed that the supermarket was so crowded – shouldn't everyone have been watching football
18. Got pissed at supermarket when I didn't have enough bags with me and they put a watermelon in a plastic bag, which then blew away in the parking lot and I chased it for a bit, much to Brian's delight, but I couldn't catch it
19. Discovered that lidocaine patches are almost as awesome as having naturally blonde hair
20. Lamented that no one makes a laser that will remove blonde hair from yeti arms through laser hair removal (although it is okay because I can't afford laser hair removal)
21. Discovered that I still can't watch any specials on 9/11 because I will cry like a baby
22. Continued designing Tiffany Liu commission in my head (Yes, there is a rainbow AND a unicorn involved)
