Sigh. Thing I'm behind with (on? - darn I hate prepositions):
- answering feedback
- my zillion WIPs
- shopping
- tidying up my mail organizer
- Christmas card writing (looks like this will be one of those years where I won't write any. Bad bad bad)
- sleeping (*yawn*)
- making doctor appointments for the new year... *sigh*
- my translation job
- do the finances for Toyah's kindergarten group
Will I do any of these today? Probably not. I will bake cookies with my English class today. Afterwards I'll take a nap. But maybe now that I've put it in to my LJ I will finally remember to make that dentist appointment...

Date: 2003-12-17 05:51 am (UTC)"Behind on" -- which is the same, more or less, as "not caught up with." Prepositions make no sense, especially when it comes to idiomatic English verbs. The only language I ever ran into that did quite so much extensive work in the "verb+preposition=entirely new verb meaning something else not immediately obvious from the component parts" department was Old Icelandic. (For all I know, modern Icelandic still does it. But at that point in my life I was sticking with languages that didn't have native speakers around to muddy the conversational waters.)
