You mean because now that they've taken Wonderland away from Sydney, we don't have ANY amusement parks in Sydney at all ?

Count your blessings.

I recently replaced a night-light bulb. It was very exciting. It was almost as exciting as putting a 9V battery in an alarm clock.

A few years ago my watches all died for one reason or another. A battery died on one, a SOLAR battery died on another, and the strap broke on yet another. I did without for a while until I got another watch. I really should have that first one fixed, though. That's a nice DLR watch. It never occurred to me to put all these broken watches in a jar. I may put that on my to-do list.

This thread totally inspired me the other day. Upon reading it, I decided to kill my don't list. I wrote out my don't list of things I have been putting off around the house and did several of them this weekend.
I planned out my Saturday and Sunday and had one of the most productive weekends ever.
A little elf named Ralphie helped me, too.

Meanwhile, I've had a few fun, indulgent things added to my to-do list, which of course just continues to delay my to-don't list.

One I've decided to add to my to-don't list is re-learn to play the piano. As a kid, I was semi-proficient. No prodigy by a long shot, mind you, but I could reasonably read a sheet of music and produce the desired song. But I quit 'cause I didn't like my teacher, and now I regret it.

I started making my list, and it's scary long. (I'm leaving off the watches for now.)

One item does involve watching DVD's. I may start there.

Was it a Disney night light ?

Nope, it's a fish. With stylish seaweed behind it. I'll send you a photo of it if you think it'll inspire you.

Please Do !

A few steps forward, and a few steps back...

1. ~~New Watch Battery~~
1b. Send watch to manufacturer to replace the glass
2. Recover in-laws' computer data
3. ~~Paris~~ and Coachella photos online
4. ~~Clean spare bedroom/closet~~
5. ~~Backup music and photos onto external hard drive~~
6. Deal with perilous pile of board games in hall closet
7. Relearn piano

My to don't list was pretty much finished off today.

I...

went grocery shopping
did laundry and put laundry away
cleaned entire house
washed car
cleaned out car
put away random stuff

All that is left is buying photo frames for the Shag 50th stuff I bought on the 51st and frames for some other stuff.
