Things I Should be Doing

Do you want a list of things I should be doing? It starts with cleaning my house and ends with bringing peace to the world, however I won't bore you with everything between.
I have just spent the last hour and a half puttering. I have just been shuffling around my basement looking at all the things that should get my attention and blatantly ignoring the things upstairs that I REALLY have to deal with (anyone want to clean my floors? there is a weeks worth of visitors, food, and cat vomit residue up there and I can't deal with it on any grander scale than a Clorox wipe).
Abby is at a friend's house and I think that is the best place for her today. I have been feeling bad that I have kept her cooped up for the past week and a half, but I know that next week starts the onset of ballet, swimming, me going back to "work" and the routine of school starting again. While all these things are fun, it is still quite a pace to keep up and we should enjoy the downtime. Even if the downtime makes my house look like squalor.
So while I am avoiding the things I should be doing, I am going to cross off something off the to do list. A few weeks ago my cousin who lives overseas came to visit. It had been 15 years since I had last seen her, and I think our reunion went well. I do look forward to getting to know her more now in our adult lives than we did as children. She and I keep in touch via blogs and she has called my sister and I out on listing 5 things about ourselves that others might not know. So here are 5 things you might not know about me:
1. I have never lived anywhere outside the state of Illinois. I have visited many places, but I have never called anyplace without an Illinois zip code home. This does not bother me in the slightest.
2. I met my husband in a men's room
3.I have kept almost every piece of mail that my mom, dad, and sister have sent me form letters to me at camp to birthday cards.
4. I am completely and totally a TV junkie and I am not in the slightest bit ashamed of this.
5. I do not support the Salvation Army based on their monetary support of anti homosexual groups. I also avoid Cracker Barrel for the same reason.
Although I don't think these are 5 earth shattering things about me that most people wouldn't know they were the first 5 I could come up with. I keep meaning to fill out one of those 100 Things About Me things, just to see if I could come up with 100 things about me, but I just don't have the time. I have to go clean my kitchen floor.
