to-do list

as of about 25 minutes ago, i will never have to take another GRE again. in celebration, here is a list of things i want to accomplish between now and april when admission decisions come around.

-make curtains

i was given a sewing machine for christmas...which would have been quite useful about three months ago when i sewed, by hand, curtains for our living room. they turned out quite well, but were definitely a labor of love. now that i have a sewing machine, coupons for fabric stores, and time to spare, i can not only mend the crooked stitches my hand made, but dress all the remaining windows in the house!

-FINALLY get my shop up on etsy.

i've been talking about it for a year now. it's time to cut the crap and get it going. more to come. buy something.

-get effing organized

closets, drawers, shelves, painting, everything. i've got vision AND a gift certificate to the container store.

-run 3 miles/day

i did it in college. now, i don't have the excuse of hours of studying the library to hinder me from doing so anymore, so, honestly, there is no excuse. plus, all this cooking, and subsequent eating, is starting to show since my pants are just a teensy bit tighter than they used to be...

miscellaneous things i am potentially doing in 2010:

-getting a tattoo*

-getting into graduate school**

-becoming a full-blown vegetarian

-driving across the united states of america

*mom, please don't panic. it will be very small. and it will fall under the 7-year rule, so you actually won't get to see it until i am 29. and i probably will have gotten it removed by then.

**and stop changing my mind so damn much. the third time/school's a charm...
