Stuff

[mugglechump]

I am currently missing an office potluck because I forgot about it and didn't bring anything to contribute. My hope is that there is so much food that some will be leftover, and I can sneak up and snack on it a little later. >.> I like potlucks. However, I will not starve in any case because I brought lunch today. Yay me.

After a week or so of forgetting to do it, I've made reservations for my trek down to the Richmond area. I'm not staying where I had planned to stay because they charge by the week, and will not prorate, and I'm only staying a few days. However, according to Mapquest, I'm still within ten or fifteen minutes of the folks I'm planning to see, so it's all ok. I'm still very excited, and a little nervous, as is usual when I'm going to meet people for the first time. Oh my God, what if they hate me?! Yeah, I'm a little neurotic like that. Hardly a surprise.

I ought to get my car checked out before I go, huh? Maybe I'll drop it off Monday. It's not like Richmond is all that far from me, only about two hours, but I know I need an oil change and when I got my inspection done they mentioned that I have some belts that could stand to be replaced. Probably better to do that before going out of town.

Other things I need to do:

Turn in smuttakah fic that was due last weekend. *cough*
Clean the trash out of my car.
Finish Christmas shopping.
Wrap presents.
Mail Christmas cards/gifts to family and non-LJ friends.
Get a tree.
Get ornaments from storage.
Decorate tree.
Clean house.
Get mom a birthday gift because it is next Monday. Crap.
Order Mer's yearbook. Keep confirmation of order somewhere I can find it, as last year we got screwed.
Call bank to see if check to Verizon cleared. If it did, call Verizon and tell them that yes, they did receive payment. If not, mail another check to Verizon.
Pay car insurance. TODAY.
Figure out why I am so damned forgetful lately. Buy some Gingko Biloba or St. John's Wart or whatever you're supposed to take for forgetfulness (I don't remember - ha!).
Oh, and get some work done. @.@

okay, this is the plan: I'll steal the car and drive out to Richmond. You call my parents with your voice disguised from a random pay phone (do they even exist anymore?) and tell them you're holding me for ransome. Then, we have a fun trip together, AND you get money out of the deal. What do you think?

That sounds great - except for the part where I get caught and go to jail. ;P

Hey, how about you tell Joey that if he really loved you, he'd let you borrow his car for a few days? Assuming he has a car, of course.

You won't get caught, I'll get my sister in on this!

I would steal his car, but it's brand spanking new and he'd have kittens. If I loved him enough I wouldn't steal it, more like.

Don't worry I'll think of more ideas...

Baby, why couldn't you go to the pot-luck anyway?? They didn't tell you you couldn't come...did they? O.o

*huggles*

Oh, they wouldn't have thrown me out or anything, but it's sort of an honor code. I may go up a little later and scavange the leftovers, but I don't want to take food away from those that did contribute.

*squishes*

aaaww honey! *huggles* You're so sweet! Most folks would have gone anyway... ♥

*hug tackles* Oh thank GOD! I wasn't the last on the smutmukkah!!

I stayed up all night Sunday (the day before starting a new, thankfully low-brain-power-needed job) to finish mine because the darn thing spiralled out of control!

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Hee! No, I am notoriously late for pretty much everything. Kate rhymes with late - there is good reason for this.

I miss low-brain-power-required jobs. Not that my job is super cerebral, but once in awhile monotony is good.

How could anyone hate the Kate? *hugs*

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

*glomps* I love you! Seriously.

[crazy-lil-loud1.livejournal.com]

I love you too! I don't know why anyone would hate you, or possibly even how they could! MADNESS I say!
