1. Build a dining room table (not a "dinning" room table, because that isn't a thing, Internet.)
2. Spend the weekend in Seattle but not have to drive there.
3. Take my kids to see a movie in the middle of the day just because.
4. No, but seriously, plant the seeds in the starter pots or that trip to the greenhouse was just a lost afternoon.
5. Volunteer in EG's classroom.
6. Reorganize my downstairs desk.
7. Organize my upstairs desk.
8. Clean the bathrooms, like, really clean them.
9. Not do anything.
10. Do everything!
11. Nap.
12. Celebrate my birthday!
13. Scrub poop off the play set slide (cross fingers!)
14. Start a painting.
15. Find bags full of money so I can just buy one of his paintings.
16. Would I really buy art with bags of money should I happen to stumble across them? Uh, yes. So again, find bags of money.
17. Be nice and smile at the neighborhood kids even when I know they've been mean to my kid.
18. Sew drapes!
19. Put away the sewing machine.
20. Finish re-fashioning those shirts I bought at Savers into a dress and then put away the sewing machine.
21. Re-do entire front yard. I'll need to wait on this one (foreshadowing bullet point!)
22. Keep doing Pilates even though I feel like I've been kicked by hobos.
23. Use the word "hobos" more!
24. Turn off the buzzer setting on the dryer because it freaks me out late at night.
25. Make fetch happen.
Oh, I didn't tell you I got a new job? Well I did. I gotta job.

New job and a birthday, what more does this week need?
Score!
Wow-That's a big list Mama!
Good luck with that. I'd start with the poo scraping, personally and work your way up.
yahoo for the job! i knew someone would snatch you up.
Suh-weet! Congratulations on the job!
Sorry I can't make it to the birthday thing. I hope you have a fabulous time.
BTW, I just linked to your fundraiser post. I hope that's okay.
Congrats on the new job! Wonderful news! And a very happy birthday to you! I haven't planted my seeds yet either and kinda thought it was too late- I'm glad it isn't yet!
On behalf of all former editors in America I want to thank you for #1.
(Happy Barthday, you fancy thing.)
Totally with you on the whole hobos thing. Hobos!
HEY!!!
Atta Girl!
i'll jump on the fetch train. i've needed something lately to focus on, i've been so bored...
Whutcho' job gotta do wit me?
Very worthy goals, Azucar. And p.s., I know "I Got a Man" word for word. Congrats on the new job - I knew it wouldn't be long.
I really love this list, especially number 9. Congrats on the job!
whoopity woop!!!! way to go!
I say kick the pilates to the curb, don your orange leotard and jog around the city and let guys hit on and rap to you.
"your man's a headache, I'll be your aspirin" -- I forgot how hilarious that song is. early nineties rap/hip hop is fo' real.
hopping back to say that I plugged in I Got a Man as a new station into Pandora because it was so fun to hear again. It popped out Jump - Kris Kross, Tennessee, Cool like dat, Come Baby Come --- awesome. I have my yellow leotard on.
Love the list! Yay for the job!
Glad you got a job. Hated that video though....
make fetch happen! i'm moving that to the top of my own list.
Is this a congratulations? Because if it is, CONGRATULATIONS!
Also, my college girl's favorite word is hobos. I thought that word disappeared around the 70's, but clearly with you and my girl spreading the word, hobos will be all the rage. I like it better than some of the PC words. It speaks of railroad cars and patchy clothes. Do people patch anymore? Instead of slumped on the sidewalk, oozing of cheap booze with a hand splayed open. I mean, why not glamorize the homeless? Everyone likes to be gussied up a bit.
(Man, I hope you don't have the haters like your friend does. Otherwise, I'm in BIG trouble.
By the way, my word verification was the oddest word I have ever heard in my life. Pupersit. That just reeks of gross.
Joann, that really does reek of gross. So does the unidentifiable yellow-ish liquid I found this morning ON TOP of the garbage bag. What was it??
(And I actually do patch, my 6YO tears the knees out of every pair of his pants.)
Oh Kelly! That was a 90s kiss just for you. The 90s are sad you rejected them.
Likely, You know it. Also on the playlist: No Diggity and I Wish.
Thanks for the congratulations, kids, it means a lot coming from the Internets like that.
And for all of you who are joining me in this quixotic desire to make fetch happen, I thank you.
Britty, why am I not surprised?
Layla, don't tell, but it's my favorite, too.
Is your job as a weathergirl? Because I know your breasts can tell when it is raining 90% of the time...
ahhhh hahahahahaha, make fetch happen. That took me a second to get that, but it's GOLD! Great blog.
Oh my goodness... Marry me. The "dinning table" thing makes me want to stab someone.
And I'm not really that much of a spelling snob. Dinning just completely sends me over the edge.
Okay, I know I already posted, and I already even proposed, but I'm back and I want you to have my babies.
The Nutella commercials?! Seriously, what the heck?
ALSO, Two and a Half men is the stupidest thing I've ever seen, and Charlie Sheen makes me want to scrub myself till I bleed.
Signed,
Your new frightening blog stalker
I heard you can catch the clap just from watching Charlie Sheen on the TV.
A job? So soon? At least you get your birthday off?
My kids say hobo all the time. I kept trying to tell them the pc term was homeless person. But if you are okay with it...I'll encourage the hoboisms
Hobos!
Congrats on the job.
But how the heck is there poop on your slide? Or is it bird poop? That would make sense.
Here's how:
1. Start potty training your 3YO.
2. At some point, that 3YO will go into the backyard, remove his pants, poop a little, and when sliding down the slide, will schmear a straight line of poop all the way down.
So that's how.
Happy Birthday and congratulations! Hoping you steer clear of hobos this week.
That is so fetch! Happy Birthday and congrats on the new job!
read your post over at cjane and guffawed loudly-thanks, I totally needed that today
congrats on your new job. I like your post over at Cjane but I like this one more. As a SAHM I am all for not being a SAHM.
Hobos! umm...good luck with your list...it sounds a lot like mine...I should probably get going on that...
I am totally with you and Mary. I think that if you make a living off your blog, you should be required to know how to spell "dining".
You are very funny...thanks!
Gretchen, it's not going to happen.
I think my subconscious knows you want to come to Seattle, because last night I had a dream that you came over to my house.
I spent the whole dream looking for ingredients to make hot chocolate for you, while you sat in my front room.
I went through every cupboard and closet in my house.
It took hours.
(I need to clean out my dream cupboards, btw. They're very messy. Is that symbolic, or what?)
Finally, I found a very old, cutesy snowman made out of a lollipop and sandwich bags that had hot chocolate mix and sprinkles as his body.
So then I wondered if I should just give up looking and make you hot chocolate with sprinkles, but I didn't know if you would like it.
So now I'm wondering, do you like hot chocolate with sprinkles?
You know, in case you ever come over and want some.
De-lurking to say "Congratulations" and you rock! I love your writing.
Hobos! Congrats on the job....congrats on the list (best wishes) and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Live it up!
