S - Shopping

P - Packing

L - Laundry

I need a few new things - shoes, maybe a couple shirts, a new iPod, makeup and this new bag I have been eyeing.

I am off to Las Vegas (again) for work and a couple of days of pleasure, so I have to drag out the big suitcase and start packing.

And last, laundry. At least two loads.

• Take Jersey to the vet (tomorrow)
• Wrap Christmas presents (tomorrow)
• Go to the psychic with Ashley and Makenzie’s (Mak’s Christmas present from Ash - Tuesday)
• Drink too much with Jessica and Lenora (Tuesday)
• Paint my bathroom (sometime)
• Matte and frame pictures; hang pictures (tomorrow)
• Clean (tomorrow)
• Do laundry (tomorrow and throughout the week)
• Eat and/or give away all the cookies I have (ongoing)
• Make a run to Sam Moon (tomorrow)
• (Lastly) Head up to my parents house for family Christmas festivities (Thursday - Saturday)

I had one of the best weekends I have had in a long time.

• Friday night - Went to the Gilda’s Club of North Texas Rock the Red Door event at The Loft. The Spazmatics played and they were awesome. I definitely need to catch them the next time they play. After the event, I went to the am/pm lounge with my friends Ashley and Makenzie. We were in the mood for a change of scenery from Uptown and trust me, downtown is definitely a change. We danced, probably a little too crazy, and had a really good time. We saw and attempted to take a picture (FAIL) with Mario Lopez! Who knew random celebrities hung out in downtown?!

• Saturday - Headed to Ikea, the Allen outlet mall and Home Goods with Ashley. We really made the rounds in the ‘burbs! I bought a shelf/pot rack for my kitchen and a muffin tin. After a long day of shopping, I headed back to the ‘burbs with Ashley to a Halloween party at her friends house and then we came back to Dallas to hit the Dervish Club Halloween party at Madison Ave. Saw some good costumes, which gave me the idea to be something more creative than a cat next year. I might attempt to come up with a way to be a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. Madison Ave. was packed and we left around midnight.

• Sunday - Grocery shopping. Six loads of laundry. Mopped the floors. Cleaned the bathrooms (cleaning 3 toilets sucks). Watched the Cowboys beat the Seahawks. Baked apple spice muffins. Got my car washed. Bought pre-sale tickets to see New Moon (shut up). Started re-reading New Moon (shut up again). Relaxed before another exhausting week of work.
