While I am not normally a list maker (although, to be fair, my blog may suggest that claim is false), I do enjoy how productive a weekend game plan makes me feel. I like to build in lots of things I was going to do anyway and make at least half of them fun, because it is, after all, a weekend.

So here are some things I’d like to do this weekend:

• Publish an Into the Stacks post (I’d love to get caught up this month, but I’m about 40 books behind, so it may carry on into December)
• Spend time outside (Capital Weather Gang says this is our peak color weekend, so I’d like to enjoy some of it; also, it would be good to get in a Coffeeneuring bike ride or two)
• Attend Upshur Street Books’ birthday party (Sunday evening, I think)
• Return a couple books to the library (Stressful feelings make me take out all the books, and I think it would be good to give a few of them back)
• Make dough (Hopefully pie. Possibly cookie. Related note: buy more butter)
• Finish a knitting project (Any knitting project)
• Shop (There are two Christmas markets at European embassies tomorrow and my farmers market on Sunday.)
• Clear off my desk (Our holiday party is four weeks from tomorrow; we need to start cleaning)
• Write some (thank you notes, birthday cards, bad poetry, anything really)
• Do some laundry (Related: get more quarters)
• Get some sleep (There’s a whole extra hour this weekend, after all!)
• Do an hour’s worth of calling for Hillary (I really don’t actually want to do this, but I loathe and fear the idea of a Trump presidency even more than calling strangers who don’t want to be bothered, so…)

How about you? What’s on your weekend wish list?
