Nature really abhors a vaccuum. Like, hates it bad.

No sooner have I completed a wedding and an exam than I have a monstrous to-do list and I didn’t even mean to! It just happened! And far, far too many are “wannas” not “gottas.”

Gottas:
* Wedding thank-you cards
* Visit my grandparents
* Decide on a new career
* Apply to new school
* A very serious spring-cleaning
* Alert the bank & credit cards to my new name (the other name-change items have been addressed)

Wannas:
* Negotiate the runs for not one but TWO Galloway running groups this season
* Revamp my workout routine to include _______ (insert any number of options I’ve been toying with)
* Learn how to use my “new” camera (a used but very decent 35mm SLR)
* Maybe even take a photography class
* Work on a garden this summer– already started with two tomato plants, a strawberry plant, a basil plant, a parsley plant, a cilantro plant, plus some seeds started in a little greenhouse kit, and a replacement begonia for the one my friend Erika gave me that I accidentally killed
* However, my gardening ambitions are all het up and we did some yard work last weekend, and now I’ll all hot and bothered about ripping up and weeding some sections of my front yard and planting bigger and better things, which can only end in heartbreak any way you slice it since the house I live in is rented
* Take husband and dog hiking every weekend husband is home
* Buy bicycles so as to spend more time with husband doing active things
* Take another drawing class, since I really enjoyed and did well with the first one
* Complete some half-finished knitting projects and start some new ones
* Journal daily (I’ve been doing it this week) to help with some Brain Renovations
* Finish up some of the Brain Renovation books I’ve been reading
* Organize bookshelves and donate books we don’t want to keep
* Reorganize kitchen cabinets
* Clean out the dining room desk
* Purge unwearable/unloved clothing and donate it
* Make a real and sensible list of the summer clothing basics I need

As you can see, the “Wanna” list is pretty out of control. Good thing I have a three-day weekend in which to procrastinate and accomplish little and end up feeling worser about myself at the end of it!
