Plans

It's Friday afternoon, and I don't want to do anything else today.  I'm simultaneously looking forward to and dreading the upcoming week.  Basically, I have something going down each and every day in the next week.  If I have a smile on my face come next Saturday, then it will be no small miracle.

What are all of these things you ask?  Well, I have a list, for next week and beyond.  When I got to town, I started keeping track of all of these things in a notepad window on my desktop at home.  Then my computer rebooted itself a few times, and I lost all of the information.  So then I moved it to a note in Facebook, which I'm now constantly updating, but I think I'm going to move it here.  I know you're going to ask - "Why don't you use a calendar, Chad?"  Believe me, I've tried, but they just don't work for me.  Messy lists are way more in line with my brain space.  Here is some stuff I will do, or might do, or just sounds cool.
