verbicideI just cleaned out my wallet!
No, no. Hold your applause. For this weekend I shall endeavor the Herculean task of cleaning out my
*dramatic pause*
DESK.
I know, I know. It's a terrifying thought. All those papercuts, just poised in the wings, eager to offer my blood as a sacrifice to the hungry gods of Papyrus.
Yes, I will in fact be filing the entire dead, sliced tree required to sell me a home. It's not entirely impossible that I will locate the body of Jimmy Hoffa underneath it all.
Other nerdy tasks I hope to accomplish this weekend:
- make a master address list to print for Christmas card labels
- buy supplies to make cards, hopefully with Emily who has mad art skillz
- take my sewing machine in for repairs, because she's-a not-a feelin so good-a
- take my damn black pants in to be hemmed
- tackle the monstrosity that is my trunk (I like to pretend this is possible, just humor me)
Oh, and then there is the sloth I plan to enjoy. Planning to go see Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang with a coworker and former classmate (Melissa) on Saturday afternoon. Having dinner with Judy's family on Saturday night. Sunday is the Seattle Marathon, in which my very studly friend Jeanne will be running, so I will be there to cheer her on. And then lunch with Jeanne's parents, which I'm very excited about. I love meeting the parents of my friends, is that weird? It's always so fascinating. Siblings, too. Finally, sofa shopping with Judy! Sale at the Bon! And they don't need to deliver for like a month or so! Perfect!!
Clearly I've stocked up on all the !!!s I'll be needing throughout the holidays. Because I freaking love the holidays! They make me very cheerful! Be! Very! Afeared!!
I got to work a bit late this morning because I really wanted to split up some of the day's work so as not to be overwhelmed tonight.
I finished off the mashed potatoes, did the dishes, and set the bread out to stale (for the stuffing, I like using potato bread as my base). I also finished sewing Ellie's sofa cushion. Since my machine is on the fritz, I did it by hand and was fairly pleased with the results. It's at least as good as it would have been by machine, if not better because doing it by hand gave me more flexibility.
I even dropped the cushion off this morning on my way to work. How's that for efficiency! Tonight, after Emily and I see Rent, I'm going to come home, finish the stuffing prep (onions, lots and lots of onions to be chopped, bleh) and make the carrot cake cheesecake. I'm positively giddy about using the 9.5 spring-form pan. I've never used one and they seem impossibly exciting.
Cleaning up never actually takes very long once I start, so I'm going to clean tonight so when I wake up tomorrow, I can just get to it without stumbling around half-asleep and annoyed. Mostly I need to get the turkey in the oven early enough so we're not sitting around dying of hunger at 6pm. I was excited they had a decent sized (11lb) fresh turkey. It's still pretty big, but at least it's not a 20lb-er.
It's going to take some creativity to figure out how to set up the food in my tiny little space. I'm thinking of using my sewing table as a buffet stand. We'll figure it out! God there is so much freaking food for just the three of us, but they've both promised to take heaps home. AND THEY BETTER OR FACE MY WRATH! I also want to set aside a little Thanksgiving dinner plate for Hobbsie, Brutus, and Buffy since Sarah's sitting them for Jeff.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I love Thanksgiving! *hop* *hop* *hop*
