planning fun times

Stuff I plan to get done before my holiday starts:

• Clean the house! - actually this is muchly done, since Lee went mad and cleaned the lounge and kitchen on Tuesday afternoon. I did the mopping and bathroom on Wednesday morning, picked up my clothes on Wednesday night as people arrived for movie night. I still have to do the dusting (all over house) and vacuum the bedroom.

• Finish my school assignment. I just have to write 1000-1500 words comparing two picture books on a similar theme and decide which is a better book. (I've chosen death for a theme and the books Haere, Farewell Jack, Farewell by Tim Tipene and All the Dear Little Animals by
  Ulf Nilsson.) - work wise this is an hour or so making notes and then an hour or so writing the damn thing. That's a pretty conservative estimate, it'll probably take longer.

• Buy a ceramic pie pan and 'blinds' so I can make crispy pie crust. This is happening tomorrow. Lee wants a silicon bake sheet. Our lives are this exciting.

• Bake apple pie from recipe in the Little House cookbook. I am such a Little House fangirl right now, I am considering buying a dress pattern and making myself an everyday dress that I will never be brave enough to wear in public.

• Go to Nick's 21st. Yay yay. Although, man. It's been six years since I last went to a 21st party. I wonder if I can remember how to act at one?

Stuff I intend to get done on my week and a half of nothingness.

• Nothing. I have a whole scheduled day of nothing. I may not even get out of bed.

• Save Mart. I want to go to Save Mart and buy tshirts to modify and then try and sell on trademe.

• Visit the art gallery and Te Papa. I love going to Te Papa by myself, but I like accompaniment to the gallery. Problematic.

• Go see a movie during the day? Something Lee doesn't want to see?

• Write the novel. Write write write.

• Visit Mum for scrapbooking.

• Practise walking to trademe so I know how long it will take me in the morning. This may coincide with 'visiting Te Papa' day.

• Patchwork. I have a bunch of squares that need making into a thing. Yes.
  

Aaah delicious weeks broken up by Public Holidays. How I love them.

PoF: same
CO: ate all of potato at lunch. Now I am stuffed and smelling of garlic.
