1. Calculate how much it would cost me in gas & food to spend Labor Day weekend at Bumbershoot, the big art festival in Seattle, with my best childhood friend, who offered me her spare bedroom for three whole days

2. Watch news coverage of the fabulous city of New Orleans: 80% underwater, tens of thousands of people without homes or a way to make a living, no food, no water, no power....leading me to the conclusion that spending my money going to an art festival that will still be there next year would be selfish and shallow

3. Donate total from #1 above to Northwest Medical Teams

4. Spend Labor Day weekend with my cats, eating take-out Chinese food and watching videos of movies that were cheesey even when I was in high school

5. Practice not rolling my eyes at the words "Burning Man", to be ready when boyfriend returns from you-know-where

watched girlie movies most of the weekend - my lord, do you know that tnt aired sleepless in seattle, forest gump and you've got mail? talk about a huge crying fest for me -

oh ya, and I worked - ate too much food - cleaned house and turned my panties inside out...(you can get a lot more wear out of them by doing this).
