Lists Are My Co-Pilot
May 21, 2010 at 6:20 am | Posted in list, my neurosis | 18 CommentsLet’s summarize with a thumbs up/thumbs down list.
Thumbs down:
- This week is kicking my ass. Too much work and plans and late nights and not nearly enough sleep. YAWN!
- I have another open apartment which means any free time I do have will be spent trying to rent it.
- My jaw is sore from clenching it. Thanks, stress!
- Due to crazy schedule, I’ve been eating out all week. I don’t really love it.
- Chin zit. I’ll leave it at that.
- There is still no free time in my life for spontaneity which makes me pouty.
Thumbs up:
- I’ve been coming up with some good work-related ideas (so maybe fatigue is good for me?!).
- The cats are pretty much over their colds and have become complacent when I have to administer the medicine via a dropper down their throat. Now if I could just train them to eat from their own plate and maybe, say, not wake me up before 6am we’d totally be golden.
- Despite my schedule, I managed to fit in a water aerobics class.
- Mr. Darcy and I are taking Finn to the zoo to see the Meerkats. You know how Finn & I love the Meerkats!
- The parentals meeting went very well last night. They got along famously and both sides agreed that there are some uncanny correlations between our family stories. I am pretty sure both moms are picking out their wedding outfits. (No, we are not engaged! Hush now.)
- Finally broke down and got a Costco card. It’s the first joint venture of Mr.Darcy and I. I see lots of toilet paper and bulk quinoa in our future.
- Feeling excited to show Mr. Darcy a slice of California next weekend and see a handful of dear old friends. Sunshine, please cooperate!
- Have I mentioned lately that I am madly in love with my boyfriend? Because I am.
- It’s finally Friday and despite having to work tomorrow for a couple hours, I’m grateful this work week is almost done.

I love that the thumbs up list is by far the longer. And that the parental meeting went so well. And that you and Mr. Darcy are so cute.

i love this idea. I might have to borrow it. I think that your thumbs up exceed your thumbs down…for sure. And I see Costco in MY future tonight…excited.

Another good thing to buy at Costco: agave nectar. And we pay for our membership in the $$ we save on coffee – if you’re a coffee drinker. I felt like we’d hit the jackpot when we found the quinoa there!
My mom gets along with and likes my mother in law much better than I do. What the hell?
Have a great time in CA! Envious!

The downside of that Costco card? You need all kinds of storage space to house your purchases. We’ve learned to use ours gingerly.
Have a great weekend, Sizz!!! xoxo

I haven’t slept well this week either. I’m like a Zombie today. Coffee isn’t even helping. Well, maybe I just haven’t drank enough of it yet. Hey, afternoon coffee for the win.

Hurrah! (For the second list, I mean.) I had forgotten that California is next! week. SO exciting. Also, I hereby declare you win for getting in a water aerobics class on a week that is attempting to eat your soul.
Vic-torious! <—You are reading that in your head to the tune of No-torious! right? OK, then.

Don’t you just love it when the thumbs up outweigh the thumbs down? :)

You had me at Meerkats! Don’t remember what you said after that but I’m sure it was all good ;)

What a great list.
PS: I may borrow the idea in the future myself. With a linkback, of course!

Wow, it seems like just yesterday you were trying out potential blog nicknames for Mr. Darcy, and now you’re planning your wedding. Or, well, your moms are. But mothers sometimes know best. :-) And I’m sure Costco offers excellent discounts on reception supplies.

I love this post!
I also am suffering from a chin zit. Enough said. I hope you do longer post about the parents meeting each other. I feel like parents on parents is always really awkward. (Um, that sounded unintentionally dirty but I’m going to leave it because now I just find it funny. Sorry.)

I like this post. Glad to hear things are going so well with Mr Darcy.
I could not live without Costco. Bought 1960′s Saturday Morning Cartoons Volume 1 & 2 there yesterday. Best part? On the outside is a warning that they’re for adult collectors and not suitable for children – LOL!!!

Ok, fine, but I think the engagement is coming soon. Am I allowed to think that out loud? I’m so glad you all had a nice time. And I hope CA is somehow restful in the middle of all that fun.

Yay, madly in love!
Boo, chin zits. :p

The thumbs down list could be mine, save for the apartment-showing troubles. Sigh.
