I think and hope and pray I am done with my gift buying. Still have some wrapping pending.

Must get cards out to SQ-ee and MeCha exchange people and others this weekend.

We leave for what I hope will be a fabulous 1 week stay in the Bahamas next Friday, so lots of packing planning and actual packing to get done for that.

And . . . lots and lots to do for work still.

Also, long ongoing project to clean out my home office. I am getting there but unsure if I'll finish by the end of this year.

And a bunch of little errands this weekend -- picking up prescription refill, collecting packages from FedEx store and UPS store, dry cleaning, etc.

Sometimes life seems like a long to do list, doesn't it?

- get hair cut and face mowed, give end of year tip to the lady at SuperMegaNationalHaircut Chain that I like so well
- Pick up gifts for secret quonsar gift-ee, package them up, send them off
- Assemble what I need for three family gifts and get them ordered (they're all getting personalized wall calendars featuring their dogs...and I'll probably put one together for myself while I'm at it -- it's easy to shop for people when they're all dog-nuts like me)
- Study for Physics final (Chem II final can't affect my grade at all one way or the other, so I just have to go take it Monday evening)
- continue the long process of ripping music to my new laptop. This could take a few weeks before it's all said and done
- Find new work boots for, uh, work.

I think/hope that's about it for the immediate future.

The first two things on this list are the priority, but I'm not sure if I can safely drive, it's so icy in our little close. I'm hoping the car will start, it's been kept in the garage but not used since Sunday.

My to-do list is to make a to-do list, I guess.
I got a poinsettia as a christmas decoration, and I need to get presents for everyone.

OK here goes:

1) Clean out fridge (as in, wash the crisper and shelves and everything)
2) Put the registration sticker on my car.
3) Figure out how to turn a bunch of scanned photos into a present
4) Clean All The Things
5) Set up my address book on my computer, maybe.
6) Figure out what else to put on this list.
