This is Me Making an Effort to Blog More ...

I've decided that today, being the only day I don't have to work, is a day that calls for getting things accomplished. Woot! But if you know me (and if you're reading my blog, you probably should know me), you know that in order to get thing's done, I need a list. So a list there shall be!
  1. Get dressed
  2. Eat chocolate
  3. Remember that I have coffee sitting in a mug somewhere in this apartment that is probably cold, and replace it with hot coffee
  4. Call the HuHizzle for my W-2
  5. Call the HuHizzle for my W-2 at a more appropriate time ... Oops!
  6. Email Tara for my W-2
  7. Talk to Dad about Taxizzles
  8. Hang up lights in my closet
  9. Put Zoey's blankets in the dryer
  10. Make a list of possible Optometrists to call tomorrow so I can get new contacts
  11. Check the price of contacts on 1-800-contacts.com
  12. Take advantage of our sunny front room, and make a to-do list
  13. Put clean clothes away (BOO)
  14. Hang up the leash hook in the cubs room
  15. Empty the "stuff" box or at least move it to my room
  16. Finish putting the clutter from the Cubs room away
  17. Email Daniel about painting -- Yay!
  18. Let Kat know I still exist!
  19. Study. Study. Study. Boo.
  20. Make myself scarce
  21. K-nit a certain k-nitting project
  22. Watch the Oscars and eat yummy nachos!

Hmm ... I'm thinking that's about it for now! Yay for productivity.

25 Random Things ...

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)

  1. My biggest dream would be to star in a Broadway musical.
  2. Peanut m&m's are my favorite kind of m&m's (with dark chocolate m&m's coming in a close second!)
  3. When I meet people I always immediately look for the good in them, assume they are trustworthy, and want them to like me. I know this makes me a little bit naive ... but I'm ok with that!
  4. I can't pick a favorite anything -- color, movie, song, tv show -- in fact, I'm down right terrible at making a decision, period. There's just too many things to love! But the one favorite I can pick is my favorite book, which happens to be Pride & Prejudice. I read it at least once a year!
  5. I love trying new things! If I haven't eaten, drank, or done it before, chances are I probably want too!
  6. I've always known I want to get married and have kids some day. Just not today.
  7. Back in Iowa I thought I had my future all figured out and felt confident in where I wanted to be in a few years. Since moving to Chicago I can't look more than a week in advance without wondering what's next and freaking out just a little bit.
  8. Since working at Nick's Fishmarket I have a new found love for salads!
  9. I love to walk. In warm weather with good shoes and plenty of time, I'd be happy to walk almost anywhere.
  10. I really want to get a tattoo, but I can't think of anything I wouldn't eventually get sick of.
  11. I am definitely too much of a perfectionist. If something is spelled wrong, or letters aren't capitalized, I want to fix them. If things aren't straight, I want to straighten them. Why?? Because its just better that way!
  12. After taking classes in both German and Italian, I still wish I could actually speak both German and Italian! In fact ... sometimes even speaking English correctly is a bit of a stretch :-p
  13. I can't memorize to save my life!
  14. Since I've been unable to find a design job so far in Chicago, and since its been so long since I've sat down and actually designed anything of real quality, a small part of me is beginning to wonder if I'm losing my ability to design. Its been doing wonders for my self-esteem. :-p
  15. I constantly have a song running through my head. It takes tremendous amounts of will power not to sing it out loud sometimes!
  16. I'm a compulsive list maker.
  17. Fish and birds?? They creep me out! I think they can be beautiful ... but don't make me get too close!!!
  18. I have an impossible time falling asleep at night. No matter how tired I am, its a huge struggle to convince myself that going to bed is a better idea than doing something else. Its awesome. Except not really.
  19. I love dogs. I always want to have dogs. And I can't wait to get another one! (Despite the fact that I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to the one I already have! :-p)
  20. In addition to always wanting dogs in my life, one of my (silly) life long goals is to own a Great Dane (or another type of large breed dog) and then get some kind of tiny dog at the same time, purely for the purpose of cracking up whenever that small dog walks underneath the big dog! I guarantee you, I will laugh every time!
  21. I keep a journal.
  22. I usually write really small and in cursive.
  23. I don't like to dip my food in sauces, I don't like to add ketchup or butter. If I use condiments at all,  I use them sparingly. Because food just tastes better that way! ... However water always tastes better with a little bit of lemon.
  24. I watch far too many shows on ABC. Its my secret TV addiction!
  25. Guinness is my favorite beer, but I'm pretty much guaranteed to like anything with Bailey's in it!
The. End.
