Oh, let's stop here. To dos suck!

Serendipitously, however, quite another list comes to my mind. I'm listening to 80s and 90s hits via iTunes, and checking a thread about favorite quotes on my industry bulletin board, while I compile today's blog entry. The combination of activities (who says hypertasking is bad?) leads me to a newer, happier list called "Things I used to love, had temporarily forgotten, but am selectively reliving:"
* "Make it so, Number 1."
* country music
* OMD, erasure, Sugar and James
* A "run for the border" -- or Whataburger taquitos with sausage and cheese, oh my!
* accessorizing, especially in winter
* novels at night
* a cat in the house
* short hair (so far, not brave enough to go back)
* vodka martinis (OK, no good martinis on the horizon at the kind of restuarants I frequent, but I can recall, can't I?)

Gotta get to work. It's a bittersweet symphony, that's life. You try to make ends meet; you're a slave to the money then you die...
(I'm still listening to iTunes. Might better stop before I answer the phone with an inappropriate song playing. "I can give you what you want but you got to come home with me. I got some good old lovin' and I got some honest dough..." Yeah. No.)
