I Didn't Finish the List (but I Came very close) and Now I'm Sleep Deprived

Last I wrote I was embarking on a list of like 37 items that I needed to finish over the weekend.  I know you're all sitting at the edge of your seat wondering, "Did she finish?  Maybe she's still working on it.  She's awfully quiet."  Well, no, I didn't finish.  But on the other hand, I got most of the important stuff out of the way. 

And I got to talk to one of my best friends on the phone on Friday night that I'd been playing phone tag with since before Christmas.  She may be able to make it to New Orleans this weekend as well, so it's turning into a party!

Last year, I didn't do much in the way of social events, but this year my calendar seems to be filling up quick.  So of course, that means I need something new to wear since all my going out clothes are from like 2002 and we can't have that, can we?  So that was actually one of the items on my list, "Buy some new party clothes", that I actually accomplished.  I got some new jeans, a couple of little shirts and a great crushed velvet blazer that I can wear in lieu of a coat (since it is winter and all).  And of course, shoes, a purse and jewelry.   Now I just need to add "Figure out how to pay for all of this" to my running list.

I've had so much to do the past few weeks that I haven't even turned on the tv since I got back from Christmas.  My workout plan fell apart after a week.  And my french diet has turned into the grilled cheese diet.  Perhaps if I just consume a little more caffeine I can skip that pesky sleep thing altogether.

Today has not started out particularly well.  I didn't sleep well at all last night and then I stupidly woke up and tried to tweeze my eyebrows (just a little!) and managed to pull out a hair or two that apparently are the cornerstone of my left eyebrow.  I had to fill in a little with an eyebrow definer.  I just hope they grow back.  Leave it to me to screw things up before I go on a trip where pictures will inevitably be taken in bulk.

And then a hit my lower jaw hard on my car door when I was getting in to go to work.  It still hurts.  I hope it doesn't leave a bruise.
