This is it; the big kahuna of shopping, faux pas! No, this is the weekend of possession reduction. I would like to make the guest bed and room hospitable, actually inhabitable, is the goal. I would also like to clear my desk space and send off my returns from past shopping sprees AND the pantry and regular old laundry.

This is what I will probably do instead:

1. Watch Arrested Development because Jason Bateman's NPR interview put me in the mood.
2. Read magazines like Self, Real Simple and ShopSmart!
3. Read an actual book of the fiction family, possibly Karin Slaughter, or wait I have a loaner book I need to get done ASAP.
4. Watch Library DVDs
5. Hold out for Netflix DVDs
6. Slink over to Hastings for DVDs
7. Sort through things that I have already sorted-it's becoming a habit.
8. Listen to music
9. Mail things!
10. Eat fast food because I don't want to have to keep doing dishes and break my streak of fabulous possession reduction (which needs a sassier title BTW).
11. Go to cine or multiplex for Wanted,
12. Go to gym and realize by Saturday it was all a dream of do gooding gone to seed.

I have at least started the return part by printing out a return address label. I have also started #2, 3 & 9 on the procrastination list, so you know who's winning.

I will enjoy this holiday regardless of my infernal listing, but wish me luck!
