But I thought it was an interesting thing. See, I'm always making lists of things I have to do/want to do/should do. This? This asks me to think of things I won't be doing. Of course, some of them might seem compelling enough to me, now that I've forbidden myself to do them, that I'll rearrange other priorities so I can do them. (That's an old neurosis of mine, and we're friends.)

My list isn't quite as nifty as hers, but here goes...stolen from featherynscale:

Top Five Really Nifty Things I'm Not Going To Do, Because I'm Already Too Damned Busy. (You can do them, though, if you like.)

1. Learn how to do dimensional beaded embroidery. It's sexy stuff, but I should probably get a bit better at other yarn-geeking and lace-making methods first.

2. Engage ardgruntler in a conversation about the Seers Guild bylaws. I only need one set of bylaws in flux in my life at once, thankyouverymuch.

3. Pull up the kitchen floor, just to see what's underneath. (Okay, maybe only I think this would be a nifty thing to do, but it's my friggin' list.)

4. Get a puppy. Or two. Or just another dog. A scruffy one. (sigh)

5. Spend another ten minutes staring at this screen, trying to come up with one more clever thing just so I can finish the list. Ack. :)

you can come over anytime to play with Nico the Shaman dog if you need an puppy fix.

I almost sent an email on to you about someone who was looking for a home for 2 black labs, but I decided that would probably be a Poor Idea. They want these dogs to stay together, and I think that would be a whole lot of dog for your house.

Yeah. We shouldn't get another dog at all, but getting one before summertime (when somebody will be home to socialize and train it, even if it's an adult) would be a horrible mistake.

We also need to avoid dogs who are likely to be jumpers, since we only have a four-foot fence in the backyard. But thanks for thinking of us!
