The List

I have a tremendous amount of things to do in the next three weeks. I wrote it all down last night and I am now even more stressed out than I was before. Yikes! So here is the list, so that I know what I'm up against:

Baby Shower:

• Civil Disobedience (sometime next week)
• Billy Budd (by next wednesday)
• The House of Seven Gables (the week of the 15th)

Christmas:

• Find the perfect gift for my secret santa at work (next weekend)
• Tell my mom I'm not coming for Christmas (waiting until she calls me. i'm not initiating that conversation)

I'm exhausted just thinking about it. I need Hiro from Heroes to come and stop time for me for ahwile.
