Things to do

for after I get my freedom. From the big house. *grins*

- hair cut and color - sweet JEEBUS that's a lot of silver in there! If I weren't treating myself I'd have already gone running for the bottle!

- still thinking about that hot stone massage, but I'm having trouble finding either a place that isn't way overpriced, or with someone that doesn't make me squicky. I have touch issues (Stranger! I need an adult!) clearly, I really wish I knew someone who did it, or had a recommend. Maybe I'll save that for after I've had the time to look completely, and after I've billed another client/made some cleaning progress

- see several movies I don't want to admit to wanting to see

- have dinner with poor C, who has been a saint. He avoids me LIKE THE PLAGUE during the season and I do not blame him one bit. I'm probably going to have to cancel on him Friday in favor of working. I'll arrainge for next week instead and drive out to him. Guilt abounds

- write some emails to SEVERAL PUSHY PEOPLE and get some business handled. I swear what people want for free these days.....

- Return my broken toy (Sparkling water maker, don't ask) for a new one

- Buy that DAMN Coffee maker. It makes me SAD that I don't have it, therefore I want it. I'm just not thrilled with my coffee making skillz. Part of me thinks I should just use the french press - that part is being taken out and shot. *grins*

- Clean my damn room - clothes all over the place, unacceptable. I might need one more storage box for the clothes I don't wear but am not ready to get rid of yet (to that also add laundry of everything in my room and SORTING AT THE LAUNDROMAT for donations. That might work swimmingly)

- start in on my storage unit. It's one of the expenses I really wonder WHY I need it. I need to dedicate one night a week for going over there, maybe on Sundays if I can do it. I just have to think about the money back in my pocket (which two months of more than pays for my massage or coffee maker) it totally has to go.

- lets not forget - SLEEP! I need some rest where I don't HAVE to get up and go the next day.

So I have permission, from me, to be selfish through the end of April. Then we'll start getting back on the work tip. I knwo the CPAs have some projects, I'm just not going to work every night from now on.

Ya know

I totally forgot to list WHY I started that list in the first place:

- I need to make a date with my boyfriend.
- making an appointment, schedules willing, for girly time with my favorite girly girl
- help out a dress hunt, or rather, use it as a flimsy excuse to see someone
- harassing a new friend despite the costs of gas and *gag* the wilds of New Hampshire
- finding a place that serves both good pasta AND meat so I can have dinner with two of my favorite people
- making sure I head out again, this time to wilds of Worcester so someone for once doesn't have to drive
- steaks and no BJs (sorry) with my best steak gentleman
(I'm seeing a food pattern, I promise it's not really like that)
- being home, awake and on Skype in time to chat up my favorite british girl
- peking raviolis of DOOM that have been long overdue (no seriously best raviolis ever)
- SHOES! (YOU know what I'm talking about! Moar Shoes Nao, plzkthnx - I need sneaks and new hot n sexhay sandals for the summer)

And then, finally, an afternoon of All Jack, All Day, just for me. I'm thinking my last gift to me is the accessories I want for the Ipod, so I can plug it into the TV and watch Torchwood all day long, all Season 2, all at once.

*sighs* that sounds heavenly.

ETA - OH - and Monster Mini Golf. Maybe I'll organize a tour, since I usually just tag along. Hrm.

a Dear John Letter

Dear *several companies who have my email due to helping people do taxes*

YES I KNOW I ONLY HAVE FIVE MORE DAYS TO FILE. I"M PAINFULLY AWARE.
STFU N00B!

no love,
Me

I swear, I'm starting to cry when I get these emails or see one of the damn commercials.....

Geek Question

CPA #1 has Netscape (*GAGS*) for surfing and mail. Netscape has ceased to be, and is not upgraded or supported. She NEEDS something that is similar so she won't have a huge re-learning curve.

Am I right in thinking the closest thing operations wise to Netscape Mail is Thunderbird?

I just HATE the idea of her using Outlook Express, or ponying up for Outlook, when she JUST needs a free mail thingy.

I'm thinking of taking her to Firefox as well. She's never liked IE. Ahead of her time, that one.

This is Windows, no grief please, I JUST got her off the DOS based financial program shew used. Yes, I said DOS. Don't Ask how I managed to make that happen!
