It’s the day after Christmas and I have a ton of stuff I want to get done.  I had planned on waking up at some point and picking up the house and go shopping.  For some reason I woke up right at 8 am which is about 4 hours early for me if you ask the wife. What’s funny though is how much time I waste in a day.

As it looks now I’m not going to finish all the stuff I need to do.  Which basically means the house is going to be messy still and when friends come over later I’ll have to say “sorry about the mess” to which they will tell me to “not worry about it.”

What was originally planned as me going to Best Buy to spend my $70 in gift cards quickly escalated.  I bought Angi a neck message thing for Christmas which turned out to = teh suxor so I have to take that back.  Which means I have to get all the pieces together, find the box, take the batteries out, and pack it all up.  Not to mention figure out what I did with the stupid receipt.  There is nothing to eat around here so I need to either go out for lunch or get some groceries, or both.  I had a Western Digital HDD go out on me the other day so they sent me a new one 2 day air.  That’s nice and all but now I have to pay out of pocket to ship the bad one back.  Which means I have to pack it all up and write the RMA number no less then 45 times on the box.  At least with Apple they have the prepaid easy return labels where you pop the bad part into the same box and tear off the label.  Then I get a text from the wife telling me I have to return her Lego Batman game to blockbuster.  That of course means I need to get on the website to print off my free game rental coupon.  But wait!  I don’t have printer drivers installed yet.  So now I have to find some and install them.  And since I’m frustrated and already on the computer I might as well spend 10 minutes writing a blog post where I just complain and annoy anyone who may read it.

Maybe I should make a list…
