So today I've got a meeting with a speech therapist to evaluate my son at the school (in about an hour) and then this afternoon I have to take my oldest to a podiatrist to have her ingrown toenails cut out. (ballet is tough on the feet)
Then I'm going to get to work on some Christmas sewing projects.
You?

Today I have class from now until after one, then I have to finish my Math Homework. I plan on working on an essay or studying for my physics prelim until about 12, when they have a midnight showing of the director's cut of donnie darko. Not that exciting of a day...

It's already 4:00 pm!
So far, I got up at 12:00 (no classes on fridays ), and took my sister to where she was picked up for a trip with the girl scouts. Then I came home, ate something, took the laundry off the line, folded it, and am now Hatracking until my grandfather and great aunt come over for dinner at 7:00.

another pointless work day
Then this evening I take my kids over to a church youth group function -- a party at the youth leader's home, in which each teen is supposed to bring something (game, food, etc.) that starts with the letter "P".
So my son bought a chili Pepper Pinãta, filled it with Peppermints, Paydays, Pixie Sticks, Peanut butter cups, and Peppermint Patties, and bought a Purple Pinãta Poker (bat) and a purple bandana to use as a blindfold. (we had fun shopping for that last night)

I also plan to stop coughing today. Wish me luck!

Well... let's see... *ponders*
...nothing. And then maybe some more nothing, yeah, that'd be nice. I think I'll read a bit, game a bit, eat a bit, and go visit some friends tonight. Yup, sounds like a productive day to me!

Ok, right now I'm gonna go up to town and look for a poster for a certain event this tuesday. I'll look around and see if there's anyone I know around. Then I'm gonna come back here and start writing a speech for said event. After writing the speech I'll start writing a letter to my girlfriend.
And then maybe I'll clean my room.
Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :
One last day of work before the weekend, woohoo! We're in the quiet period between month close and the finalisation of the ledger, so I am going to use the day to catch up on paperwork. I also am working on a special project in which I get to look up company information on the Internet.
During lunch I will read the latest issue of Discover. I love that magazine.
And then I shall go home and play Final Fantasy VIII, and possible order either real Chinese food, or a pizza. I also need to work on my NaNo novel a bit.

Oh, I forgot to mention - I have to send off a transcript request to the college I attended, because I had to fill out a new application for the spring semester. The discarded my old one, when I didn't start the semester I was originally planning.
A little frustrating, but my husband told me dealing with the hassles and bereaucracy is just part of the process, and part of what having a college degree means is that you can wade your way through all that kind of mess.
He then reminded me of how much seemingly useless paperwork and how manyhoops I'll have to jump through when I have a real job again, and I shut up. Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :
Got a meeting in half an hour to discuss a community service project. Then electrical networks class at 1:40. Tonight maybe I'll go do Aikido at the dojo, or I'll go see The Incredibles. Or both.

We're presenting our Annual Report concept to our CFO today. Hope he likes it. I don't feel like reworking the whole thing again. Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :
Be at work. Not much is going on here today, so I'm mostly surfing and playing games.
Maybe go grocery shopping on my way home.
Unpack the boxes of stuff that go in my desk. Maybe unpack the last of the kitchen stuff. Maybe hang up the new towel hooks in the bathroom.
Wake up my husband.
Go to dinner at my brother's house.
Go look at a stereo a guy has for sale.
After that, I don't know....be lonely while my husband is at work, I suppose....maybe I'll have my mom come over and watch more Firefly with me (I introduced her to it yesterday).

Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :
Well, I had a class that I almost absolutely had to go to at 9:30. I now *must* be there next week. And I've had an assignment sitting in front of me that I've been trying to start for about 12 hours that's due around 4:00. I worked for the prof last summer, I'm sure she won't mind if it's late. Then I'm supposed to spend a few hours in the lab today, but I think I'll just analyze my data from last night and check out early. Let's see, then I've got another assignment that I really need to finish early this weekend so I leave myself time to polish off my presentation for my thesis proposal.
So, basically, I'm going to sit around in my skivvies, play computer games and read books and stick my fingers in my ears shouting "la la la!" when someone points ought all that I ought to be doing.
I'm nothing if not consistent and years of practice have made me very good at what I do Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
- Print out first 25 references. - Pull up data on mono for Farmgirl, doublecheck to make sure they screened for Lupus - Check up on Thomas - Hang out at coffeehouse and start writing out analyses of references (thus doubling that section of paper, yay) - Eat lunch alone but with Cohen biography to nose through - Finish analyses - Join Dave for soup at next-door cafe - Make plan of attack together for the next few months - Home -> laundry -> work emails -> crash on couch with Beau, Gussie, Dave, and Mr Floppy

I'm going to spend the day praying that I'm pregnant. I've done that pretty much all day every day for the past 10 days.
I'm also going to celebrate my 4th wedding anniversary with Andrew. I am deciding between a purple Sigrid Olsen boucle sweater and a navy cashmere Ralph Lauren cowl neck.
Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
Fun thread, Belle!
Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
MrsM, I've been thinking of you. I will add my own version of prayers to you.
A good omen: This week I found a buttery soft gray cashmere Ralph Lauren sweater at a secondhand store for 5 bucks, perfect condition. (I wore it after the election for comfort. *grin)
All sorts of miracles in the wind!
Posted by Mrs.M (Member # 2943) on :
Thanks, Sara.
I am so happy for your good news - there's nothing like cashmere, unless it's deep discount cashmere. Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
I can spot cashmere at thirty paces. Over a life of combing thriftshops, I've gathered maybe half a dozen things. Makes for a lovely winter -- with every gentle washing, they just get softer and softer.
May you find your heart's desire, Mrs.M.
(This morning on Buffy reruns, I listened to a character sing "I'm his Mrs" -- you were very close in my thoughts then, too.)
Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
Mrs. M I hope you have a wonderful anniversary date with your husband!
And I continue to lift you up in my daily prayers.

How is the Mr. Floppy saga going anyway, Sara? Does your younger cat (can't remember which name is his) still drag him everywhere and get very upset about something every 12 hours?
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
It's 10:15am right now. I go to work at 11am, and stay there 'til 7 or 8pm. Then I come home and do schoolwork 'til 11pm and go to bed.

Convince children to put clothing on
Finish schoolwork ( just grammar and scince left) withh Matthew.
Throw laundry in washer
Do dishes
Leave for friend's house for playdate: stop at Trader Joe's on way because I am too lazy to make munchies
1. Writing...I'm hopelessly behind on NaNo, due to working at a polling place during the election and paying bills and other stuff that couldn't be put off.
2. Reading.
3. Shopping for blankets...it was cold here last night, and I could use at least a couple more blankets for my bed.
That's about it, I think. I've been so busy this week that I deserve a "down" day. Not that I really expect that I will get it, but one can always hope. Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Wake up. check. Check email and answering machine. check. Call back advisor. check. Set up internship interview. check. Go pick up the book for my stats class. Read chapters for stats class (no, I NEVER procrastinate). Load..oh wait, I HAVE SPSS on my computer (yeay for being a research assistant!). Find someone to take my student SPSS copy. Pack for class. Try not to be late for class. Pay attention in class. Try not to distract my classmates (they insist my ADHD is contagious). Come home. Check email. Do a load of laundry. I should wash my dishes. Go to bed at a decent hour.
...I'm SURE I forgot something. Dammit.
