Weekend Roundup

Still reeling from having a whole weekend to myself. I got a lot accomplished yesterday, but there's still more to do. I feel like if I don't do a bazillion things in my time off, I'm just wasting my time. I'm not sure when this attitude cropped up, and man, I don't know if I could go back to doing nothing all the time. It's probably just out of necessity considering I don't have much of a life outside of work and am still figuring out where to put everything in my house/accumulating essentials as I go along. (I got more baking items and casserole dishes at Target yesterday. Kind of excited about that!) Given the chance, I'd be lazy probably (and not that I don't have my bad moments, especially concerning the internet). I just have too much I want to do. Whatever. I'm cool with it.

Woke up with my left eye in pain, though I can't figure out why. It looks slightly swollen? Other than that, I don't know. It hurts to blink. Awesome!

Oh right, it's May now. In thirty days, I posted twenty-four poems. (And I haven't worked the kinks out of one yet.) Stats? Nineteen new, three old, and two from other poets. Not too bad. I think that's about my average, come to think of it. Shrug.

I tried jogging again last night, and it went okay until I got home and realized that my ankle was really sore. It's better this morning, but not by much. What's messed up is this isn't the ankle I fell on years ago. You're supposed to be the good ankle, damn it! Maybe I'm just not meant to jog.

All right, if I don't get stuck on the internet, here's the bare minimum list of things I want to do today:
-Laundry *
-Vacuum (since I still haven't pulled it out of the box) *
-Sew (Baby blanket for a friend who had her baby like a month and a half ago, oops) *
-Bake cookies to take to work (Everyday cookies! They have butterscotch chips, coconut, and Rice Crispies in them. They're going to rule.) *

Alternately, if I find energy:
-Clean bathrooms *
-Make these *
-Play sims?

(*=Done! Final score? Everything but playing sims. Pretty damn good, I must say.)

Yep, I'm awesome like that. Ready? Go!

EDIT: And yep, I got stuck on the internet. Got to fix that shortly. BUT here's a debate on ebooks v. print I'm finding really interesting.

Bin Laden is Dead

Yes, this gets its own post. My brother texted me to watch his channel because of the breaking news. I didn't really believe it (even though he works for the media) until I went to my home page and saw it was breaking there too, so I watched until the president confirmed. I guess I just really wanted to hear him say it, even if it was in the vaguest terms possible.

Sent my mom this text: "Wow"
What she sent back: "Amazing news finally. Got the focus off the big wedding."
Hahaha, I love my mom.

I don't know how much this changes things, if at all; and there's already a lot of talk about this being the eight-year anniversary of that "Mission Accomplished" debacle; but it's still pretty amazing. <3
