Incessant Navel-Gazing

Because I know everyone cares, this is my current list of things I can check off my list of "to-do's" while on vacation...which doesn't really officially start until the 26th since that would be when I'm suppose to report back to work. So, like, I'm WAY ahead of myself already:

Watched:
Another Gay Movie
The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green
Pieces of April
LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Version)
LOTR: Two Towers (Disc 1 of Extended Version)
Various HGTV and FoodNetwork shows

Cooked:
Nigella's Mughlai Chicken

Bought:
Enough baking supplies to make several cheesecakes and at least four other unspecified cakes ala "The Cake Mix Doctor".
Two large fennel bulbs to make Ina's Potato Fennel Gratin (but forgot the Gruyeres cheese so I'm fucked right now)
Scallions for something I saw on Nigella Feasts but for which now I can't remember what.
Four books on creating altered books and art journals plus two other novels.
Three pairs of shoes I found at 80% off on Amazon.com while sitting up surfing the internet because I couldn't sleep.

Cleaned:
Both my spice cupboard and the cabinet next to it. I have WAY too many wok oils and wok-related stuff along with several boxes of light brown sugar, 11 packs of taco seasoning, two bottles of fajitas marinade, and a tin of loose Russian black tea.
Clutter on the kitchen table, twice. Still cluttered, tho.

Photographed:
The outside of the house to start sketching the kitchen addition remodeling project that I think we'll be able to afford in seven years.

Read:
Various sections of Schott's Almanac 2007
World War Z (M.Jones recommendation)
Sunday NYTimes, Sullivan Co. Record, and NYPost
Country Living, Jan 2007
Better Homes and Gardens, Jan 2007
The Earthly Treasure of Charles and Louisa - Family compendium of addresses and contact info, for accuracy.

Planned:
To clean and organize the rest of the kitchen cabinets as well as the pantry, including refolding all the bath towels.
Finish watching the LOTR trilogy
Ride the bike every day while watching TV or movies. (Jeff believes this is folly and wants to bet money it won't happen)
Unplanned calligraphy project (need to check out all my pens and ink supplies)
