I want to see this stage adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, but of course I’m nowhere near said stage or the numerous U.S. venues featuring a live broadcast of the production.

Insert dramatic sigh.

Today’s regular blog post has been pre-empted by this awesome ride around Nashville in a police car with my brother, Officer Awesome.

Midterms. I totally forgot that I even HAD a blog until this very moment.

I totally skipped posting yesterday. I feel so irresponsible.

The day got away from me as I screwed up a batch of experimental cookies and worked on a midterm. At 4 p.m., I found myself with unexpected dinner plans in addition to a party invitation. Suddenly, an extra 2.5 hours were gone from my schedule.

My plans to leave the party by 11 p.m. and publish a post were foiled by interesting conversations with awesome friends.

Not the worst way, overall, to end a skip day.

And another Valentine’s Day passes without a Haggerty contribution to Hallmark or FTD. Because, seriously, isn’t it nicer to do something awesome for your significant other when they least expect it, rather than when the world tells them they should?

Grand gestures: They’re not controlled by the calendar. Little gestures also mean a lot.

How is it that I have never played charades until tonight?

I also never had a Sit ‘n’ Spin as a child. Coincidence?

Baking class.  Graduate seminar. Shakespeare production. All in one day.

There simply MUST be a name for my disorder.

The “Do One Thing” series chronicles my yearlong effort to tackle one project every day to organize my life and home.

Day 18: Put a blazer into the thrift store box. It’s a well-made wool blazer, but its cut is simply out of style and I don’t know when it’ll come back in style. I’m no fashionista, but in addition to being outdated, it’s also a little big for me.

Day 19: Manhandled my office bifold closet door to obtain the big Rubbermaid box filled with more photographs that I need to send to ScanCafe. Spent another 10 minutes trying to figure out how to repair the bifold closet doors so they both actually open and close. I hate those closet doors.

Day 20: Shredded documents like an Enron accountant, only with less desperation.

Day 21: Really started to dig into the photo box retrieved on Day 19. Remembered why every time I start to sort through this box, I quickly put the top back on and put it back in the closet. It contains everything from old photographs of family members I don’t remember to vacation photos from the late 1990s.

Day 22: I actually made headway on the box of photos, sorting out duplicates and choosing the best copies to send off for scanning.

Day 23: Finally bought the faucet, toilet paper holder and towel ring to go in the remodeled downstairs bathroom. This is why people buy new houses.

I worry that after my graduate seminar on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, there’s not a thought left in my head for the WordPress post-a-day challenge.

I obviously have to rework my writing schedule.
