Man, what a weekend. It was all kinds of self-inflicted busy, but it was great. To recap:
- I wrote another new song and it’s one of my favorites so far. Once I get my voice back, I’m going to videotape (except no actual tape will be involved) myself playing it and I’ll put it up on the internets.
- I went to the Farmer’s Market
- I went grocery shopping
- I finished painting my office
- I did some cleanup on the Open Book Audio Website
- I launched a new podcast of Open Book Audio’s O, Pioneers by Willa Cather
- I started playing a new video game (Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction–it’s pretty sweet)
- I read half of The Candy Shop Wars by Brandon Mull, author of the amazing Fablehaven series. (Seriously, if you’re a Harry Potter fan, you have to read Fablehaven.)
- I baked a blueberry pie from scratch
- I threw away the blueberry pie because it turned out more like Blueberry soup with a slimy crust.
- I baked another blueberry pie from scratch
- I made my world-famous black bean and avacado salsa
- I made a pizza
- I made Lime Sorbet
- I bought a piano (This one requires an entirely separate blog post…stay tuned)
- I did five loads of laundry
- I did four loads of dishes (as a result of all of the cooking)
- I started learning Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata
- I watched two episodes of Bones, three of The Simpsons, two of Holmes on Homes
- I watched half of the documentary Young @ Heart
- Went to the dog park with the dog twice
- I paid my bills
- Balanced the Open Book Audio Accounts
- I took four naps
If this weekend has taught me anything, it’s that my true calling in life (other than to be Lillias White) it’s that I need to marry a rich businessman and spend the rest of my days as a doting housewife. (The rich thing is really important, because we all know how I am with money.) I need to see if I can’t make that happen. Despite that I was busy all weekend, I just feel so energized and ready for the work…which is good since I’m covering for one of my co-workers all work, and I’ll basically have a double-load of work this week.
I love the weekend!
