Things I intended to do this past weekend:

  • Write another chapter (or two) of my novel
  • Go to the gym or for a run around Green Lake (Sat)
  • Go to a yoga class (Sun)
  • Eat well (mostly salad greens and veggies)
  • Finish The Help
  • Make banana bread to bring in for my co-workers on Monday
  • Not drink any alcohol

Things I actually did this past weekend:

  • Snuggled with the dog we’re dog-sitting (Louie) for about 8 hours
  • Wiped Louie’s ass after he liquid pooped all over a neighbor’s front lawn 3 times (with the help of my bf)
  • Flipped through a copy of Entertainment Weekly, paying attention only to the photos
  • Watched the latest episodes of “Up All Night,” “Modern Family,” and “Parks & Rec.” Also managed to catch up on “The Daily Show” & “Bones”
  • Carried Louie around the house like a baby and alternated between cooing “hello, buddy” and “I love you, buddy” in his face
  • Made banana bread and then ate a pretty healthy (yeah, that’s what we’ll call it) portion of it last night in one sitting. Sorry, co-workers, maybe next time
  • Went to a Lowe’s store with Louie, who I carried around in a Louis Vuitton pet carrier. FYI, designer bags in a home improvement store will get ya a couple glances
  • Ate a total of six strips of bacon over the course of 21 hours (never ingested anything green)
  • Enjoyed an $11 drink on Friday night that included champagne and creme de cassis (it was worth it)
  • Procrastinated working on my novel by writing a post about why “Dirty Dancing” is a good family movie that no one besides Kate will ever see. I was trying to be funny…

Well, the good news is that I already have a to-do list ready & waiting for next weekend.
