10:54 pm - My butt hurts.
Woo.

Here was my day.

Went over to the local green grocer to buy Christmas Day fruit salad fruit. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE going there. Wheeling, West Virginia, once upon a time, used to be a pretty cool place but, as the Rust Belt rusted, it slowly but surely turned to shit. There's a lot of dilapidation there. BUT there are a few remnants of how nice it used to be still there. One is Centre Market. Another is Jebbia's (the green grocer). It's really cool and you can get produce for cheap-like-woah. I'm talking 5 bell peppers for 2 bucks. You can also get a lot of less common foods, like almost any kind of green you can think of. They also have a deli that has the cool shit like prosciutto and capicola and deviled crabs. The atmosphere's also usually very sweet, somehow. So I got apples, oranges, grapefruit, bananas, a mango, pears, and two pineapples. Fuck yes.

Then I went to Big Lots, where I bought some throw pillows for the couch and I forget what else, but the pillows look nice. I absolutely can't remember how they came to be couch pillows, but for years we've been using these really ridiculous things... You know how you can take two sides of fleece, snip the edges, and tie them together to make a blanket? I had two rectangular fleece remnants that I'd snipped, tied, and filled to make oblong pillows. One was green plaid. The other was RAINBOW WITH SOME KIND OF CHINESE CHARACTERS ON THEM. HOW RIDICULOUS. But yeah, they've been there for years, until this very night when they were conquered by two square faux doe suede maroon decorative pillows. The villagers rejoiced.

Also, I lost my list at about this point in my journey and was all crazy with rage. Luckily, I usually make my lists in order of how stuff appears in the aisles in the store, so it wasn't too hard to remember everything. I only forgot the raisins. SO tomorrow I have to make a quick and early dash to the other grocery store for raisins, as well as brown sugar (because Kroger was out of stock) and a vegan-appropriate margarine, which Codie says is Smart Balance Light or Blue Bonnet Light.

Then the cooking journey can begin.

First, a ham needs to be cooked. I'll probably need to take care of this as early as possible to free up the oven. I'll also be making a bean salad while the ham is baking.

Then I'll be making a green bean casserole to take to Christmas Eve dinner at Gramma's. Then three cinnamon raisin breads to give to our neighbors.

Then a fruit salad for Christmas morning/afternoon and this breakfast casserole thing I make all the time for Christmas dinner. Uh oh. I just remembered, I forgot to buy the potatoes for that. D:

Then, probably mostly on Saturday, I'll be baking sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies, flourless vegan peanut butter blossoms, and vegan skor bars for the party on Sunday.

I kind of wish I had a fancy apron to wear for all of this. It'd make it more enjoyable or something, idk idk. I'll have to make myself one sometime.

FLASH! Ahh AAAH!

06:49 am - STATUS REPORT (because you care)
I'm more or less done "tidying up" my room, which actually turned into an all-out overhaul clean-up. I gutted my bookshelf, moved shit around, Resolved a big old soda stain that's been chilling in the carpet for what must have been at least half a year... that stuff's amazing btw. I plowed through all three Starkid productions while I was doing it too.

So.

It's 6:37 AM. I haven't slept.

FML.

I'm about to do the laundry part, or at least throw in my underpants. I'm not sure how today's going to go. I still feel pretty awake, but I'm sure that will fade. So laundry and making my shopping list for today, and maybe squeezing in a nap somewhere between then and whenever I'm heading out. It's also important to mention that this is December 23rd. It's going to be fucking NUTS out there, I'm sure. At least we won't be going anywhere near a toy store. On what are sure to be crazier days to go shopping, like a Saturday afternoon or the Saturday before the Super Bowl or 2 days before Christmas, I always figure "Eh how bad could it be, really? So there'll be a lot of people, big deal." But that always changes when I get there and two ladies are standing in the middle of the fucking aisle obliviously gabbing away or some old lady teeters in front of me when I'm frantic to get to the such-and-such section and there's no cool way to pass her. Or I step into an aisle that's vacant to recharge for a few seconds and take my time picking out something and, almost as if they were waiting for me, people swarm. Yes, the world revolves around me, why do you ask?

Anyway. This is all going to be so much more fun with a drastic lack of sleep. BUT it will be good to get shit done FINALLY.

Also, I got to watch The Princess & the Frog last night via The Interweb. It was pretty sweet and exciting in a few parts and I liked the animation style just fine. The style wasn't as consistent, but there were a few gumby moments that I appreciated. The songs were cool, but nothing to sing along to IMO. I also felt like it all went by too fast. But still, I liked it. It'd be cool if they'd revive a full-process animation department again, but I really doubt they will.

OH and also BONUS! I found my steel E-hook! I don't have to buy another one. Score.

I am one procrastinating little bitch. I still have grocery shopping to do AND a lot of cleaning. WRYYY don't I realize available time before it's too late?

Okay, me.

Step 1: Take a shower.

Step 2: Get dressed.

Step 3: Tidy room

Step 4: Have dinner.

Step 5: Clean bathroom.

Step 6: Do a little dusting, tidy up living room and kitchen.

Step 7: Haul the shop vac up from the basement.

Step 8: Vacuum the shit out of the place.

Step 9: SLEEP

God I hope I get my room cleaned at least somewhat. It's a dump. I've cleaned the entire house better than it has in months (maybe years) somewhat recently, and didn't lay a finger on my own room. It's pretty gross.

Also, somewhere in all of this, there will be friends coming into town. I hope I can get something done and still hang out with them. Usually Meg comes over and we watch tv in my room, catch up, and smoke (yaay I get to smoke again). So cleaning my room is related to that. It's pretty embarrassing in here right now.

Oh also

Step 10: Laundry and maybe sew those snaps onto new slippers.

Ok, I'm off to shower.

06:42 am - How CUTE is this?!
I don't collect figures or really own any (except for two, but they don't count). But HOLY CRAP. I really want this, but I probably shouldn't own it, because I'd never do anything with it. Still, it's friggin' GORGEOUS.
