List Update



It's 11:40 and I'm finally climbing into bed after a long day of packing.

Scratch that.

It's 11:40 and I'm finally climbing into bed after a long day of avoiding packing.

There we go.

I should probably be going to bed to get as much sleep as possible before 5:45 tomorrow morning (ouch) when I have to wake up to head to John Wayne, but I thought I wanted to do one last update to fill you in on how I did in regards to finishing all those lists that I've been rambling about lately.

But I gotta do this fast because I promised myself I'd be in bed before midnight.
Ok. Ready. Go.

Ok. The to-do list:

  • Unload dishwasher
  • Load dishes in sink into said dishwasher
  • Pick up last paycheck on Saturday (make it count)
  • Make bank deposit
  • Finish making white dress
  • Wear white dress to remind you what in the world you are going to school across the freaking country for. 
  • Start packing
  • Don't get distracted
  • Keep packing
  • Keep packing
  • Finish packing
  • Ship boxes by noon on Saturday
  • DMV
    • Figure out how to get a smog check. Specifically when the car is no longer in the state. 
    • Renew license before you get arrested.
  • Call car garage to schedule potential delivery in Atlanta. Don't take no for an answer. 
  • Fold laundry. 
  • Put laundry away before it inevitably ends up on the floor therefore drawing out packing process. 
...Alright... Pretty good, right? ...Right?! Ok, ok. Before you think to yourself, "What poor time management on her part. I could've done all of those things in no time!" allow me explain myself!!!!!!! 

  • The white dress is 95% done. Small problem. No zipper. A backless dress instead? 
  • I got distracted. Sue me. 
  • I may or may not still have a few things to pack. 
  • USPS closes before noon. So, technically, I had the boxes before noon, but due to unforseen circumstances, we ended up at UPS post noon. Close, though. 
  • Still working on the whole DMV thing. Driving on an expired license = no bueno. Maybe it'd be pretty BA to be arrested in Georgia!
See!? Everything is a process. 

OK, now for a list that I feel very proud of. The food list: 
  • Chipotle: Burrito Bowl
  • Del Taco: Combo Burrito
  • Ho Sum: Salad
  • The Cannery: Creme Brûlée and Sushi
  • Gulfstream: Salmon
  • El Matador: Arroz con Pollo
  • Bamboo Bistro: Chicken Curry
  • Eat Chow: ...pretty much anything on their breakfast menu...
  • Sue's Corn Dogs: Cheese Dog (don't knock it til you try it)
  • Sprinkles: Peanut Butter Chip Cupcake (only available on Tuesday and Sunday)
  • Caliente: Taquitos
  • Bear Flag: Fish Tacos
  • Bill's Burger's: Chili Cheese Fries
I can sum the remainder of this list up in two simple words: Winter Break. 
Whatever I didn't hit this time, I'll be back for (in a big way) in just 10 short weeks. I'm looking at you, Bamboo Bistro. 

And would ya look at that 11:55 and I'm all finished! Time to go to bed.

  2. You did good puj! And doesn't 10 weeks seem like nothing now? I was just realizing today as I was sitting in my newly furnished room that 10 weeks is really not long at all compared to some other lengths of time we were at school so I'm feeling positive about this whole school thing so far...hope you are too(:
