These are my folder names:
- me me me ME (blogs, flickr, library thing, other bits of dirty laundry)
- shop (obvious)
- write (e-mails, documents, words)
- cook, clean (recipes and clean green tips)
- learn (libraries, books)
- cash out (bills)
Oh, and there's more: my first finished book of 2007 will be Kent Haruf's Plainsong. Loving it. Nursing the last few chapters slowly so it doesn't end...
I have decided to keep a sketchbook of my shopping lists, grocery receipts and new recipes to try. That's totally weird, I know, but it's so much fun to do. It's like the little black book that nobody would enjoy finding on the subway.
Since my New Year's Eve fiasco, I haven't had a drop of alcohol! This will end soon. I have an interest in the sparkling wine industry.
Not a proud moment: two nights ago, I bought an earwax removal kit from Walgreens. All was going well. Until the part where I had to flush the medicine out with water using a bulbous-looking thing. I used way too much pressure and ended up bruising my eardrum. I spent the entire night crying like a baby and shaking my body in strange ways to "distribute the pain evenly." I looked like horrific improv. Whatever. It felt like a good idea at the time. In the end (7 am), I finally fell asleep on my heating pad and had a healthy supply of aspirin tablets taking care of the hurt. I feel so bad for babies with ear infections. How do they tolerate that kind of pain? Ear pain SUCKS. For that kind of pain, you need something to show for it. And for the record, my earwax cleared (ewww), but I will never again use a Q-Tip. Cause I'm pretty sure that what's got me into this mess.
Words. I eat them from time to time.

Soooooooo jealous of the bookmark organization. My bookmarks are completely out of control (seriously, it takes, like, five minutes to scroll to the bottom) and I keep putting off organizing them.
Also, hooray for cleared ear wax and boo for bruised ear drum, but I'm pretty sure I will never be able to wean myself off of Q-Tips because I am addicted to the Q-Tip eargasm.
Additionally, if you are delving into the world of sparkling wines, please try Roederer Estates and Scharffenberger. Their vineyards are located next door to each other in the Anderson Valley in Northern CA and they make the two best bubblies in the US, IMHO.
In closing, words are delicious, as are you.
I have so much to organize I feel like I can't even put a dent in it. Been doing it all day, but I think it's turning out to be more like rearranging. Next step, Christmas decos. So. Not. Fun. I'm filing it all under crap at the moment.
Madge, I'm kinda' obsessed with all the talk of ear-wax. Candeling (dammit, I spelled it incorrectly, didn't I) really works! Huge advocate. Try it. No pain!!!
I can't get enough of the ear wax posts. ;)
Keep 'em coming in '07!
I have a hard time using q-tips. They make me gag. That is weird I know. But I am totally serious. I feel a tickle in my throat and it almosts makes me gag.
Tits, I have to thank you for a couple of things. The phrase "Q-Tip eargasm" and the sparkling wine recommendations.
Kat, Crap works as the most versatile category to file things under - I use it a lot myself.
LePetit, If you say so! Poop, earwax. It's all in the name of good times.
Earl, '07 is the year of the ear.
Lauren, Gagging is bad. It's worse than having plugged up ears. I aspire to be a non Q-Tipper like you.
I'm with Lauren.
Sadly, all non-cloth cotton makes me want to gag - not JUST the feeling of it in my ear. Ever seen those crazy people on Jerry Springer who are afraid of foil? I'm close to being that bad. I can touch it - it totally grosses me out.
Corley, the one thing that makes me gag are soap/lotion goobers that collect around plastic dispensers. Ewww. Just thinking about it. I have a friend who used to eat cotton balls to keep her ballerina figure. Apparently she got the fiber she needed with half the fat.
oh god, i am so feeling you right now. i hope your ear is feeling better! once i bought some... murine? ear drops to clean your ears. i swear, it must have been muratic acid. 3 drops later and one big POP, i thought blood would rush forth from my head. soooo painful!
try warm washcloth steam?
btw - i'd love to see your sketchbook. i really enjoy finding old receipts to see what we bought the year before. it can bring up fun memories. one might think it's laziness or just that i'm not a clean person, but sometimes i'll squirrel away grocery receipts where i know i won't find them till much much later.
please tell me you were kidding about the cotton balls.
