I’ll do what I want

Ugh. It’s been a pretty wild couple of weeks. I have been careful not to complain too much, it seems like everyone I know has a superbusy life. But here’s what I’ve been up to:

• My car starter died. Two people, five jobs and only one car doesn’t work out so hot.
• After I got the starter repaired, it died again. The tech guys didn’t screw a bolt on tight enough to hold the starter in place so I got to call AllState and take advantage of their roadside assistance two times in one week.
• Finally I think the car is back on track.
• I’ve been doing some political volunteering in addition to my jobs. It’s been nice to be involved, and I’m remaining very positive about the direction of the election.
• Also, if you haven’t already, for the love of God and all things holy, REGISTER TO VOTE.
• I ordered a pair of Chaco sandals on closeout at REI and I am stressing out because I really want them to arrive NOW. They should arrive today, and the UPS tracking site says they will arrive tomorrow. The same UPS tracking site that says they are in a warehouse somewhere in Washington state. Hmmm.
• I have been doing that Couch 2 5K plan you read about all over the Internetz. A couple of years back I was running pretty regularily, and then somehow I stopped. I’m choosing health and working on a campaign I’m calling “Healthy Jenn 2010.” I am a dork. And, just so you know, you have to say “Healthy Jenn TwentyTen.” There should be no confusion now.
• My parents are coming for Thanksgiving. I already bought tickets for the big football game that weekend.
• I am working on travel plans for Christmas.
• I really want an iPhone. But not as much as I want to pay down some debt.
• I really want a Sony Alpha series digital SLR camera, because my Minolta lenses are compatible.
• My MIL sewed some draped for my living room and I am really anxious to see them.
• I like lists.

That’s it for now. Hope to be blogging more regularily again soon, but whatever. It’s my blog and I’ll do what I want.
