Today, a day of progress.

I actually did a spot of cleaning, and took back all of the returnables, and purchased lots of health/beauty supplies (toothpaste, shampoo, etc.). Of course, when I got to the register I promptly forgot to give the cashier my vouchers from the returnables. D'oh!

I rushed home, thinking [livejournal.com profile] bob_the_mighty might be here, but, alas, he was not.

So I put some things away, like receipts. I keep nearly every receipt. I don't know why. Perhaps I think that I'm going to make a giant spread sheet of doom one day with them. Not likely, honestly. But I can't just throw them out. The registers spent so much time lovingly itemizing everything.

Anyway, I did no writing at all for tLS, which bums me out.

I did get a healthy start on my one-year-anniversary entry! More than a start...I wrote something nice about everybody! Now I just need to keep adding to it.

Last time I did this, I remember people commenting, and then after I re-read it I realized that I should have said a lot more about everybody, damnit. So this time I'm going to keep it on the back burner for two days, even though I could technically present it today as "done". So on Weds, my actual LJ anniversary date, it should be pretty happy and even more full of complimentary feelings (in theory). So I feel very accomplished. It took a few hours (83 mutual friends...83 compliments!) and now I feel all glow-y. I'm on track for once. Too bad it isn't more fanfic, cleaning, or crafting, all of which I need to do. Heh.

Every time I see my new sub-name (Bring me your blah blah blah) I panic for a split second because I think I've accidentally pulled up someone else's journal.

Relax...the writing of the fanfic will come. Hoooommmmm *sits in lotus position and ring small bells*

I'm sure you will get to it soon and do a right brilliant job. :D

Wish I could say the same about this darn school portfolio...blech! I wanna be editing and scribbling...sigh.

Hee! I hope it'll all work out...I've really got to write before I leave on Sat.

;) Thanks for the lotus image...hee!

Bahahahahaha!! For some reason that comment had me rolling on the floor.

*wipes away tears*

Is it me?

Glad my befuddlement caused you such merriment. ;)

You know, if you want to say something nasty about me, you're quite free to do so. I won't mind, honset!

I think I will take a leaf out of your book and do the same thing when my 1-year anniversary comes. That's not until August, though.

Start now! You'll be glad you did. ;)

Heh, heh! I only keep receipts until they've shown up on my bank statement. I used to hoard absolutely everything but now each time I move house, the more things I chuck out! We were sorting out a few boxes the other day, getting the last of the junk out of what is now the baby's bedroom and I binned so much stuff. I hadn't looked at it or thought about it for years, so I thought 'not much point in keeping any of that!'

Looking forward to reading your anniversary entry :)

I have a Mountain of Boxes in the living room, consisting of Things I Need to Sell on EBay Oh Please Someone Buy Them. I just can't bear to toss the stuff...there's already enough stuff in landfills...

Been there, done that. It just gives me an excuse to go back and spend more money. :)

Yeah, I know. But then I don't remember to take the vouchers with me, so I spend more money. By the time I finally get around to using the vouchers I've spent more than I ever would have had I not brought the bottles back. *sigh*
