         Ooh, this is an interesting one.

         1 potential/probable legal battle (as plaintiff)
         3 novels roughed or better
         1 small business started
         100,000+ small metal or Neoprene rings interwoven with each other 
to form interesting items
         120+ jeweler's saw blades
         1+ pair(s) aviation snips, depending how well they hold up
         25+ assorted jewelry clasps
         100+ miles of wire of various sizes, colours, and alloys
         X craft and art shows (still looking)
         1+ writing contest(s), depending on entry fees
         X drawings
         1+ painting(s) completed
         1 printer paid off
         1 week-long visit from family in England (complete with requisite 
mooching *innocent look*)
         1 round trip ticket to Florida booked and purchased
         Saving up money for said ticket (or, even better, winning said 
legal battle)
         1 birthday
         1 spousal birthday
         2 sororal birthdays
         1 paternal birthday
         1 maternal birthday
         2 nepotic birthdays (or more - nine nieces and nephews are hard to 
keep track of)
         1 feline birthday (my cat is spoiled to the core)
         6 new(ish) hubcaps (long story)
         The learning of basic plate armour techniques
         1 titanium swimsuit (money, time, and health willing, which they 
probably won't be)

         June 21st is going to be my day of rest.  (If my husband even 
thinks about reading it before me, he may lose a hand.)  All told, the 
first four items on the list will take up the majority of my time.  Hey, 
I'm nothing if not ambitious. ;)

Sushi, whose House affiliation isn't obvious, no, not at all
