my "to do" list

Well… I only got two things done yesterday, finding a costume and going grocery shopping. Last night, Cida came by unexpectedly with Vincent’s daughter and I was embarrassed by how messy my apartment was. So I guess I should have cleaned yesterday instead of working on my website. I don’t want people to see me as a messy person. I normally keep it tidy… I just haven’t had much energy for cleaning this past week. So now I’m motivated to…

This is proof that I should not be cooking! I am…
