I have so much to do this weekend. Our vacation was wonderful, but now there's a lot that needs to be done around the house to get it back into some semblance of a place that people can actually live in.

My weekend to-do list:
- Clean house
- Do laundry (seriously, our room is filled with dirty clothes that were dumped unceremoniously from two large suitcases)
- Clean showers (I did this fairly recently, but I think we have hard water or something that leaves a lot of iron in the bottom near the drains)
- Print pictures from our trip to put into a photo album (I have already been asked by several relatives to bring pictures to show them. Because it's not like I have to go to work and catch up or anything)
- Find the dishes I bought and took with me to undergrad so I can give them to my sister, who wants to use them when she goes to school (I know they're somewhere in the attic, but there's a lot of stuff up there and the thought of going up there when it's been 100 degrees the past few days is pretty uninviting)
- Go to the at&t store to get my SIM card moved to Keegan's old iPhone (If it will fit -- this is actually very good timing because my phone has taken to cutting off randomly and it loses battery power extremely rapidly. One 10-minute conversation and it's got no bars left and beeps at me incessantly, I'm not exaggerating)
- General errands (groceries, etc)

We are also planning to hang out with some of Keegan's friends from undergrad, but I'm not sure when that is going to be. I'd also like to be able to go to a girls' night with some of the BME ladies, but I guess I'll have to see when the other social activities are taking place.

I received feedback on my paper, so I'm making the revisions for resubmission. I'll almost finished because there wasn't a lot that was suggested for changing (yay!). Also, I was able to successfully image my capsules (which are indeed capsules!) so now I can progress to altering the protocol to fit my needs. I'm also looking at branching off in another direction, so we'll see how that goes. The post doc in chemistry I've been working with seems genuinely excited by my idea and says he gives it his "enthusiastic endorsement", so that makes me feel good.

I want to begin making lists of the meals I plan to make each week. I used to do this the first few months we lived together, but I've since stopped planning. I think it will help us to eat healthier and more cheaply because we'll be less likely to just get Subway or pick something random up at the store if we've already got a schedule of the dinners I'm going to make in a given week. That will help with making the grocery list too, so it's better all around! Tonight we'll be having Zatarain's yellow rice with grilled chicken and green beans. Mmmm, I can taste it already! I guess I'll need to pick out a few new recipes also. I plan to restart P90x this weekend too, since we'll be around for a while now and I won't have any excuses not to stay on track :-)
