The Self-Inflicted Frenzy Continues...

Status of the year-end to-do list? Not going well. In fact, I think I've ADDED more things than I've crossed off today.

Which is making me in a very. bad. mood.

Year-End Frenzy

My list of All the Things I Still Need to Get Done Before the New Year so I Can Start Fresh:

1. Clean out the basement
2. Organize all my files
3. Program all my contacts into my new phone
4. Figure out how to use my new camera
5. Get my 2008 calendar all set up
6. Clean out my mail bin
7. Send out all my/my children's thank-you notes
8. Rewrite/reprint all my FlyLady routines
9. Pick up and organize the whole house including the front porch and closets
   
10. Take a load of Everything We Don't Need to donate to ARC
11. Get caught up on all my magazines so I can recycle them
12. Clean out both my email in-boxes
13. Find and return all overdue library books
14. Return extra Christmas gifts
15. Map out some structure for my weight loss and workout goals
    

And only two days to go...

Frost

Last night when I was blogging, checking email, and just generally minding my own business, I got an email from my mother-in-law. She offered to come over and defrost my freezer this weekend.

Seriously.

Since my relationship with my mother-in-law is too complicated to cover in one post, suffice it to say that I was panic-stricken/suspicious/pissed all at once.

And so, after taking a brief poll of a few unfortunate souls, I feverishly defrosted my freezer this afternoon with my hair dryer and a hammer so that I could email back:

"Actually, I've recently defrosted my freezer--thanks for the offer though!"

And my dignity is still somewhat intact.
