To-Do List for Tuesday and other random words of wisdom

So, I heard on the news the other day that according to new studies, if it takes you more than 30 minutes to fall asleep, it doubles your risk of dying. Did I mention I didn't sleep at all that night? I feel like I'm turning into freaking New York City. Ambien, anyone?

Anyway, last night, after trying to NOT think of death and also trying to fall asleep within 30 minutes and then failing, I decided to make a to-do list for today.

Here is my to-do list:

• Call doctors office to get prescription refilled
• Check on churches for any openings in December for Wes and KaiLeigha's wedding
• Email music guy from church because I completely forgot to return his call last week
• Go online and look at savings/checking accounts
• Pay phone bill online
• Update blog
• Pick up RX from doctor's office and take to pharmacy
• Walk for at least 30 minutes
• Make a new workout mix for my iPod
• Talk about how awesome my aunt Sara is on my website because SO many people read it, that's why I have 3 followers!

Long story short, I lost a $5 bet with myself that I'd actually get ANYTHING on the above to-do list done today. So... am I actually being productive? More like being Punk'd. Where's Ashton Kutcher? Well played, Kelso. Well played.

FYI, the only things I've gotten accomplished from my to-do list are updating this website and giving a shout-out to my aunt. Hey Sara.....Holla!!!

As far as the other 9 items listed... Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?

I should have put "Watch American Idol" on my to-do list. I could have totally marked that off my list. Even though my girl, Paige, got voted off last week and at this point I will like to play the racism card here because I've never gotten to use it before. Wow, that felt good. Speaking of black people, it's story time.

Up until about 4 years ago, I always wondered why Black Friday was in November instead of February. (And don't get me started on what happened this past Black Friday) I never understood why my mom and her sisters would meet at 5 AM to eat breakfast the day after Thanksgiving and be gone until I woke up around noon.

I only have one black friend, Terrance, and I thought...it's about damn time. My bro-worker would finally have a day to relax and celebrate his blackness. My next thought was, "Stupid me, I forgot to get him a gift" and, to quote Andy Bernard.. "Do not test my politeness". When I went to the mall to get him a FUBU hat, it was a disaster. I also got a fifty percent discount. That's when I realized what Black Friday was.
