....then why in the hell do I always end up with licorice?
I think my brain has finally, officially fried. This morning, in an effort to be "productive", I made out a 'to do' list for the week. Within ten minutes, the whole damn thing was nullified. Let me give you a sample:
*Celina's To Do List*
1. Finish anthology story. (I then promptly scrapped another 6k from it and started all over. Glutton for punishment)
2. Work on website. (I then realized that I now need TWO websites--one for me, one for the porn hack)
3. Finish edits. (Still waiting....)
4. Clean house. (what? this cesspool that is nothing but a huge cat toy? Ha! As if....)
5. Get Darkshifters finished. (looks around for muse, kicks her in the rear, and watches her scurry away to the closet)
6. Get all critiques done. (yeah, like I'm going to be able to do that before I finish my own anthology story. Why is the word count going BACKWARDS on it anyway?)
7. Create promotional plan for GR. (uh, okay....how do I spell that again? p - r - o - m -...)
8. Get football plans set at bar. (wait a second....I have to work too?)
9. Impy to vet. (fucking cat....how many felines do you know that get allergy shots because they're allergic to cats?)
10. Dentist appointment on Thursday. (great. another 300 bucks so he can hurt me. geesch.)
11. Get landscaper to --
*phone rings*
Celina: Hello?
Dana: hey! What are you doing?
Celina: Don't even think about it, Dana.
Dana: What?
Celina: I'm too busy. Whatever you're going to ask me, I'm too busy to do it.
Dana: What makes you think I'm going to ask you to do something?
Celina: You always ask me to do something.
Dana: *laughs uncomfortably*
--long pause--
Celina: Well?
Dana: Well what?
Celina: *sighs* What do you want?
Dana: Well, you know that the festival is this week.....
Celina: NO. Absolutely not.
Dana: You don't even know what I'm going to ask!
Celina: I am NOT working extra shifts this week. I have too many deadlines.
Dana: But I fired a bartender...
Celina: I don't give a rat's patootey. Tend bar yourself.
*click*
11. Get landscaper to --
*phone rings*
Celina: Leave me alone, Dana! Goddamnit, I said NO.
Attorney: Uh, Celina ...
Celina: Whoops! Sorry, Andy!
*fifteen minutes later*
11. Get landscaper to --
*phone rings*
*....and rings.....*
*....and rings....*
Get the picture? I forgot what I wanted the landscaper FOR. I think it's something to do with the green stuff that is knee-high in my front yard.
12. Get new erotica book finished and off to Vikky...
It was at this point that I collapsed in helpless laughter. Suuuuuuure, I'll be able to get all of this done, right? If nothing else, I'll chronicle my list of failures in this blog this week. let's see where ambition and reality actually meet.
