When In Rome...

You know the saying... When in Rome, do as the Romans?

Well, I don't live in Rome, nor am I visiting it.

I AM however in the BEEHIVE state....

And TODAY I worked like a bee.

These are the things I got accomplished today and most of it is in order.

• I slept in until about 11
  
• Ran to the bank to deposit a check/withdraw money ( I was hoping for a garage sale with something really cool. I didn't see ANY. Does the cold weather keep people from putting those on? I guess so.)
• I paid ALL of my bills
  
• I cleaned out all the shoes, papers, water bottles, and overall crap from my car
• I detailed the inside of my car
• I went through a stack of mail 12 inches high
• I cleaned out my wallet
• Found my jiffy lube coupons and got ready to have my oil changed.
  
• I organized my new health care information now that I am a big girl and cover myself (sad are the days now that it comes out of MY paycheck instead of my parents'!!! :( )
• Took a shower
  
• I went to the corner store and bought two packs of candy. One for me and one for Dave.
  
• Went to the movies with Dave to see Marley & Me. He almost ate his whole box of candy before the movies even started. I still have half of mine. I am learning quickly if I don't protect myself he eats all the candy!
  
• I washed my car (well, I ran it through a car wash but ol' blue is SPARKLING right now)
  
• I did 6 loads of laundry including linens and towels and even my bath rug.
  
• Blew my nose about 700 times throughout all of this
  
• I PUT AWAY 6 loads of laundry
  
• Organized all the paper/letters/wedding invitations into their designated box
  
• Threw out TONS of old school papers and assignments
• Took two garbage bags full of stuff from my room and car to the dumpster
• Vacuumed my room
• Did the dishes
• Swept the bathroom and kitchen
  
• Went to the grocery store to buy more laundry detergent, four boxes of kleenex (actually they are PUFFS with lotion because a nose in need deserves puffs indeed!!!) and groceries for the next week where I saved about thirty dollars with my Albertsons card and coupons! (that is a first!)
  
• Made tea and took Nyquil
• Blogged.

Aren't you proud? I think the only thing I did NOT do was get my oil changed. Going to the movies with Dave took up my time and they were closed by that time but I will go on Monday!! I know this has to be the most incredibly boring blog I have ever written and I know you don't really care but I have worked SO hard for the past 12 hours (well 10 if you don't count the movie) and I NEVER get anything I want done on a Saturday! Anyway, I am sure the nyquil is going to kick in here pretty quickly so this is coming to an end.

I hope all of you have been having as great a start to the new year as I have had and that you are getting things done as well.
