Doing stuff!

19 March 2009 in Life

I’m a fan of doing stuff.  But I don’t really do a whole lot of stuff.  Well, I make a lot of plans to do stuff, but then I never follow through with the stuff I was going to do.  For instance: when the creators of Ravlery.com came to a local yarn store – I was like “okay, I’m going to go this”.  Guess what?  I didn’t.  And when I found out there was a Danish Club in Austin – I  was so excited to get my invitation to their first event of the year, Fastelavn (a sort of Halloween-like holiday, in February).  I RSVP’d ‘Yes’,  but then changed it to ‘No’ at the last minute.

So, it’s SXSW week, and I’m making more plans to do things.  There are a number of Free, Wristband-not-required events on Friday and Saturday (I think I mentioned some already in my last post).  But I took a half day off of work tomorrow so that I could actually do these things!  So I tell you – I actually AM going to do some stuff.  I’m not going to just  say I’m going to go, and then not go.

Speaking of doing things, here are some things that I have done recently:

• Last night I had an amazing dinner at one of the many fine dining establishments in Austin: Z Tejas.  I still feel full from that meal.
• On Sunday, we got an awesome new bed.  It was a craigslist find – and a lot of people seem to give me  a look like “Ew”, when I tell them that.  But it’s nice, I swear, you guys.  It’s Teak, and it has built in tables & drawers!  We got it from a nice Indian family who had bought it at a Danish furniture store in Canada.
  
• This is more of something that I’m “doing” rather than “have done”.  I have a reading problem: I start books and then never finish them.  I started Sophie’s World some months back, and never finished it – but I’m really motivated to finally finish it finally.  So I’ve been reading it – that’s something that I’ve been doing.
• I knit a sweater! I think that was one of my 101 in 1001 things, so I’ll probably have to update that now.
