thoughtless and exhausted

Being the state that I'm in, it's probably not the best time to write, but... what the heck!

I just got done pulling back-to-back doubles at work + a regular 8 hour shift this morning, and I'm beyond tired. Emotionally and physically.

But there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I have 3 days off IN A ROW this week. And I am pumped.

So what's on my never ending to-do list this week?

#1. Get a Washington drivers license: This one is going to be hard for me to do. I'm really quite fond of my Wisconsin one. And sometimes part of me feels like I'm just on a very long vacation (while having a job and paying rent) and any day now I'll head back home. So getting a Washington drivers license sort of kills that fantasy.

#2. Get a Washington license plate: *see above*. And my tabs expire this month. I really don't have a choice on this one.

#3. Go to Greenbluff!: Greenbluff is a neat little farming community outside of Spokane. I've probably mentioned it before, but it doesn't hurt to repeat myself! Anyway, it is definitely apple picking season and I can't get enough of it. Last week I went there with one of the kiddos I work with and I happened upon the Empire Apple. And it is fantastic! And while I was there, I really super badly wanted a caramel apple, but by the time we had picked the apples and paid for them, the kiddo was DONE. So a caramel apple is a must this time. And cider. Mmm...

#4. Polka Dot Pottery: I painted pottery for the first time last winter with a bunch of really talented, swell gals. And ever since I've had the itch to go back. But this time I'm bringing TJ, and we're going to paint mugs. Fall and Winter are perfect seasons for drinking hot drinks out of mugs and we both loved the idea of custom painting our own. I'll post pictures of the finish products. Well... maybe.

#5. CRAFT SOMETHING: I haven't decided if I want to sew, scrapbook, or knit. (Geez...I never thought this would be a dilemma for me!) But something will get done. Or started.

I could add at least 25 more things to this list, but I learned in college (one of the 3 things I learned) that when it comes to making goals, it's best to ... Keep It Simple Stupid! And since over half of my list is pretty much stuff I want to do, I really shouldn't have a problem following through.
