The best laid plans give way to better plans

I have a really busy week ahead and needed to have a very productive weekend in advance of it. Things to do included:

• Buy plates at Target.
• Grocery shop for life.
• Grocery shop for book club potluck.
• Read my stack of magazines.
• Sort mail.
• Switch out summer and fall clothes.
• Clean bathroom.
• Clean room.
• Clean kitchen.
• Clean living/dining room.
• Make a skirt.
• Make a bracelet.
• Buy other stuff for book club potluck.
• Prepare for brother's visit this weekend.

Of all the items on that list, exactly zero got done. Zero. While I don't often get all my to do items done, I damn well get at least one done. But nope, just the zero this weekend. Instead I:

• Hung out, shopped, and ate Bojangles with Gloria.

Thumbs up for her first taste of Bojangles

• Slept late on Saturday morning.
• Ate a candy bar for breakfast.
• Pulled out my fall clothes and went through them but didn't unpack or put them away.
• Went to a concert with Shana.

Avett Brothers. I am now a fan for life.

• Slept late on Sunday morning.
• Stayed trapped in my bedroom due to a suicidal mouse in my living room. (More on this later.)
• Ate a cup of hash browns for lunch.
• Took a two-hour nap on couch.
• Started to make the skirt but stopped.
• Ordered pizza.
• Watched the Emmys.
• Painted nails with gray and glitter to usher in fall.
• Wrote this blog post and realized just how completely insane this week is going to be.
• Had no regrets because sometimes a girl just needs her friends, some sleep, and candy for breakfast.
