I’ve had a few ideas for posts rattling around in my head.

video games, how some people are better off not commenting on a community that they really have no connection to or interest in in the long run
holidays in general
our vacation/ thanksgiving
lists
journals
gradschool (yeah i know i’ve mentioned it a million times)
work ( in theory, not specifically)
friends
weddings
small children

Some of them are still rattling and some have wandered away… today will be about lists, because those are nice and organized and don’t require a ton of thought to make them sound like anything more than just a list.

Things I did this past week:
Toured a the first penitentiary
Walked around Philadelphia and ate a cheese stake
Drove through Valley Forge
Ate tons of yummy food/beer
Met OtherJ’s friends M&M
Met OtherJ’s brother/sister-in-law/niece
Had yummy thanksgiving dinner
Took a picture of the Washington Monument from a moving vehicle
Only worried a little bit about work
Was told my degree was not recognized for the grad program I was considering.
Realized that eating out with friends and family all the time would make me all sorts of fat…
gained 7-10 lbs over vacation and should really start working out again.

It was a busy week, but the least busy vacation we’ve ever taken. We had a great time.

Things to get done by the end of the year:
Put up holiday decorations
Take Pictures of Bunnies for holiday cards
Get xmas presents
find/use the gym
Clean the house – for reals
rearrange living room/maybe a little maybe a lot
look for new bed and new couch.

Those are mostly just the practical bits… there are some personal artsy bits I want to get done by the end of the year, but those are a little more fluid and will need a little more will power:

get prints made of OtherJ’s photos, organize into note card sets (sell on etsy?)
Paint something pretty

Maybe I’ll do another this soon…those seem to work out pretty well.
