Things to do

Things I am not doing right now though I'd really like to:

Buying these boots (black) online or in person, even though they're reduced and I waaant them like zombies waaaant braaains, but I tried them on and they're too narrow for me and I'm not sure I want to gamble that much on the possibility that they might stretch to fit my freaky feet.

Buying these other boots (brown) which are clearly too expensive as they're the same price the first ones were before they were reduced, but these are also beautiful and I don't know yet that they don't fit me.

Rushing off to the mall where I saw it two weeks ago and buying a down jacket that was more reduced in real life than it is online, because it's too far to go and it wouldn't still be there and I'm not sure about the colour and I don't really need a down jacket except it would be nice to have something warm that was light and had a hood.

Booking tickets to go to a family wedding in Italy this summer, because the prices are just insanely crazy, and we're already going to Ireland in March because we didn't go at Christmas. But this is good, because we might finally get to have a beach holiday at the Outer Banks, which is something I've wanted to do ever since I saw the Outer Banks on a map. I imagine us looking like one of those beautiful families in one of those beachside houses in a Land's End catalogue. The truth may be sandier and more sunburned, but I'm willing to risk it.

Making oatmeal raisin cookies.

Things I am not doing right now even though I should, because I have no desire to:

Cleaning any part of my filthy house.

Sorting and filing all the papers that are ranged on the shelf where I keep my computer.

Finding the hole punch so I can file the notes from last night's committee meeting.



Most of these things are beyond my control, or my budget, but I suppose I could get cracking on the cookies.
