to dos

darn, i thought Dec is a quiet month, but it has always turned out to be the opposite. apart from the packed lunch/dinner get-together schedule, my ever-running to do list has just hit a record length:

- x'mas cards (good that this is almost done) - done 12/9
- catch up 5 weeks of B&S and those movies that i've taped
- plan where to eat in macau - booked x'mas dinner 12/16
- check + file away bank/credit card statements
- tidy up drawers: head table - done 1/18, desk, skincare
- tidy up bookshelf (should also do an inventory (!) check)
- tidy up CDs (ditto)
- tidy up DVDs (ditto)
- tidy up, caption and back up photos (need to develop any?)
- back up other files, mp3s
- clean out emails (i have 1000s old emails that i should probably just purge)
- tidy up magazines
- tidy up stamps (yes, i still collect stamps)
- tidy up coins and notes (they are scattered in different drawers or corners of the bookshelf)
- clear up my dinner blog backlog done 12/29
- finish up the travelogues (OMG)
- plan where to eat/go in tpe
- sleep?!?!?!

and most urgently i should at least make one of those piles disappear before Thursday (ok, i'll try the very small one to the left of my lappie):
