Friday I will be unemployed

I need a nice, new, fresh Dayrunner.
I think that would solve all my problems right now.
I love lists.
I love making them.
and lining through an accomplishment.
If i had a new dayrunner,
i could write my list out...
I mean who wants to have a big ole list,
with NOTHING crossed out?
Not me.
If i had a dayrunner (a NEW one - the old one no longer motivates me)
I might even do a few things.
For example:

Send Christmas Cards
Make Chocolate Chip Gingerbread cookies w/Jude
Buy Quantam Leap Boxset for Sean's Stepfather
Wrap Presents
Mail a sympathy card to an old friend.
Make TWO birthday tags
Make a wedding album for a special friend.
Brush my teeth...Just kidding.
Organize the hall closet.
Put pictures IN the frames.
Write a LIST for the grocery store
Buy Sean's mom a Christmas present..but WHAT?
Get a Job. (Nope not kidding on this one..Tomorrow's my last day at this place)
Put laundry away.
Do the laundry before I put it away.
Take my prenatal vitamins.
Ask for a dayrunner for Christmas.

i have the best INTENTIONS of anyone i know.
If you could see inside my thoughts you would see a Christmas banner on my blog, you would see me mailing out 30+ christmas cards, you would see me wrapping my presents, and sipping hot chocolate, and baking all kinds of wonderful cookies and desserts to mail off...
but alas...i have done none of it.

i need a damn dayrunner.

**ETA**
My three year job has come to an end due to our company being bought out by another company.
Dont cry for me Argentina.
Its a blessing.
but if i don't get a job within the next couple of weeks.
Its Farewell Viva Las Vegas.

Cheer up girl, cause I'm right there w/ you! Nothing is wrapped, I haven't purchsed presents for anyone except Jonathan, and I have a lovely pile of Chrstmas cards just taunting me.

I hope you're doing alright, and take those damn prenatal vitamins!

Just Me said...

if you're unemployed you'll have a lot more time to do those things!! i don't even bother making lists anymore...they only discourage me because i'm not getting things done...i end up doing things that arent' even on the list!

"brush my teeth" cracked me up.
You know that's the kind of stuff I write down in my planner every single day. It's usually never work related like "run monthly reports" or "submit my timesheet by 1pm" Then I get sick of reading what the hell I'm writing down (errands) that I quit using it for awhile. Actually, I just kinda of sit at work and pretend to be working really hard but really I'm not at all... just killing time organizing my life outside work. Work Sux

Just this Girl said...

so i guess a dayrunner is like a planner??
congrats on the baby!
prenatals shmenatals.
i never took one
and i drank coke
and i ate chocolate
and listened to loud music
i don't believe all that hoopla
christmas cards, eh. who needs 'em?
