Monday, December 15

To Do

  • Get my tags renewed (I already paid the ticket online)
  • Deposit a refund check from my dentist (he made me pay upfront, then reimbursed me the insurance money)
  • Print some pictures for Mom and Dad's Christmas gift (or maybe this can wait, since we won't see them until after Christmas)
  • Write the in-class portion of my ethno class final exam
  • Administer and grade said final, then submit grades
  • Submit the grade for my piano class student
  • Finish grading the ethno class papers
  • Get down to Bowling Green to pick up my parents' gift to Sam
  • Do my Christmas cards (cutting it close? Me?)
  • Laundry (as always)
  • Add the ruffles to Eric's aunt's scarf
  • Finish wrapping the gifts (except for the ones for Sam that I plan to leave upwrapped and open under the tree)
  • Get the house in such condition, after packing, that the realtor can show it in our absence over the holidays
  • Alert the realtor to the fact that we'll be out of town until early January (Duh!)
  • Return library books
  • Pay mortgage
  • Obtain a dress (^%$%$#$#@!!!)
And all before leaving town on Thursday.

Go ahead and send your MIL's address to me. I'll get it to your GG, and she'll send your gift there. :)

I hate to say this because you already paid it, but always ALWAYS contest a ticket, even though you were at fault. Chances are, if your excuses are reasonable and valid (your family issues with a close family member with terminal illness/selling a house/moving out of state/etc) a judge will take some $ off the ticket. It's in my second bible, known as the Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn. (Dawn of bizzarogirl is reading the same book in her sidebar list).

I, too, hope you have a better year in 2004. Continuing to pray for your family and keep you in my thoughts.

Hey Carrie,
I've done the same procrastination thing about all things MVA related. Don't beat yourself up about it! I know $100 is a lot, especially at this time of year.. but it could always be worse right? You guys have had a tough year.. I hope 2004 is better.

Just a word of advice in case you don't already know...HIDE ALL YOUR VALUABLES!

A good friend of mine had an open house in her Pburg home when selling it she was pregnant so she had her wedding rings in her jewlery box and someone stole them! She wasn't sure if it was during a showing or open house. Protect the xmas presents too!
