apple_pathwaysMy little brother is getting married in LESS THAN A WEEK! With finishing school and the holidays, the event has just sorta creeped up on me.
Wedding to dos:
♥ Mani/pedi. (Whoever this task falls to will have their work cut out for them!)
♥ Purchase stockings to wear.
♥ Make an appointment to have my hair done. (The bride is doing her own hair! Don't I feel precious???)
♥ Make a wedding present. I'm thinking of fancying-up some photos of them and putting them into frames.
♥ Decide if I want to write them a poem/give a wedding toast. I don't have to, since I'm not the Maid of Honor, but...I dunno how self-conscious I'll feel on the day, and if my mom gets wind of the idea, not only will she make SO NERVOUS about it I spend the entire day dreading it, but she'll also make it impossible to back out at the last minute. Ugh.
General to dos:
* Job hunting, job hunting, job hunting. (Despite not knowing where to begin!)
* Finish my laundry/make more laundry detergent.
* Write my Baubles to It entry for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
pulped_fictions.
* MAKE AN EFFORT to call and catch up with friends, see how their holidays went.
Oh, 2011...you're gonna be a pain in the ass, aren't you?

I keep forgetting that I owe you a counter-challenge in our holiday music battle, and I was going to write my challenge on a postcard and send it but it's New Year-related and, well, it's getting a little late for that so I'll send you a challenge via post sometime random and until then:
SURPRISE MUSIC BATTLE: COUNTER-CHALLENGE
New Year's resolutions, the musical! At least three songs you yourself would be willing to sing in response to "What is your resolution this year?" ^_^

You basically need three ingredients: a bar of soap, borax, and washing soda (different from baking soda, but also made by Arm & Hammer). I would have made the detergent today, but the store I went out to didn't carry washing soda, and I didn't feel like driving out to the Big Grocery Store to buy it.
That is an excellent counter-challenge! Oh man, I am excite!!!
