Progress

I haven't organized my list as I need to - I keep putting it off. I'm putting it on my in-my-head to-do list for today, tonight, or tomorrow.

But I've been getting a lot of things done, that's for sure:
-Finished my list
-Went to a Twins game
-Watched a Twins game
-Vacuumed my room
-Rearranged my room
-Played whiffleball
-I think I found the perfect boxers, bought 2 of them (I have 4 of them total now...its so nice not having to do laundry every 4 or 5 days so I can have my favorite pairs clean cuz I now have like 7 or 8 I like, lol)
-Got a new sofa to replace my futon (the frame was getting bent horribly, it was only time before it snapped)
-Saw the first 4 episodes of Chuck season 1, next disc is on its way (Netflix rules), might be one of my new favorite tv shows

I think that's all.

Oh and I realized that Ed (the tv show about a bowling alley-lawyer) is not on DVD, so I may not be able to do that one (or I'll just have to see about getting it via other methods).
