whatever it takes baby, whatever it takes...

Here is a list of the things I have so far treated myself to in order to bribe myself into participating in my end-of-semester work:

• lavender legal pads (so pretty, I almost hate to write on them...)
• pine-smelling candles
• mini shortbread Christmas cookies (yum)
• mini ornaments for my mini Christmas tree
• organic ketchup (don't laugh--I can now say that high fructose corn syrup is out of my life for good...)

Next on the list: Gingerbread tea. If Wal-mart would have had it this afternoon, it would already be on the list. Instead I'm planning to pick it up when I head out in just a bit, because I have decided it is necessary.

The good news is that my lovely landlord has been spending most of the weekend on my bathroom floor, fixing the drain. His presence has kept me in line, and I have been a busy little worker.

Busy busy busy. (Bribed, bribed, bribed...)
