the repository of unfinished things

that is my iPod. my iPod touch, to be exact, which has become my favorite PDA.

it has long lists of to-do, to-buy, to-complete, to-whatever. things suspended in the future tense. evidence of my procrastination.

but i am chipping away at those lists now. today i:

- bought CD sleeves so i can finally organize my movie collection (and take that task off the list)
- bought various sizes of 3M hooks for fixing up the little details of my home yet un-fixed
- bought 3M heavy-duty mounting tape - i am a big fan of 3M especially after i watched their feature video on the Martha Stewart website
- bought my iMac a USB hub (after months of planning to do so)
- bought bread (after going without for almost a week)

i'm taking a leave on wednesday and will make it my errand day. my weekends are just too busy and i don't think i can bear sacrificing my jacob time to do errands.

yesterday i did a super-dooper cleaning up of my place : polished the floors, re-arranged my kitchen cabinets (since i'm acquiring more cooking and baking stuff i need to maximize my spaces while maintaining efficient movement during cooking and baking), re-arranged the storage part of my little walk-in closet (put away stuff into proper boxes), fixed my walk-in closet, changed the curtains, cleaned and polished all the furniture. i was pretty tired at the end of the evening. but seeing everything so clean felt good.

jacob messaged yesterday. i did my best not to be poke-y. i let him be at his own pace. no striving after outcomes and no acting needy are what the rune said.

i am seriously considering black vinyl wall decals for my plain white walls. i have a few good designs marked as favorites at etsy.com. hmm.

These look really nice. :) I wish I can do something with my walls too but I can't since I'm just renting. In any case, If I had my way, I'd probably fill up all my wallspace with bookshelves...

i've been wanting them for a while but i needed to see how the whole place will turn out once i moved in. now i think they just might work with the overall theme :)

if i had my way, i'll have a library ROOM. hehehe.
