First thing I do is move my armor and weapons into the attic. I am in the SCA, and my armor is built to take hits from baseball bats, so no zombie even has a hope of scratching it. My weapons include several swords, all of which are full-tang construction and made of strong steel, and all of which I can use well. Once I am in the attic I would pull the stairs up after me and armor up. If any zombies were in the house I would drop the stairs and let them come up one at a time, because it is ridiculously easy to decapitate someone coming headfirst up a set of stairs. Once the house was emptied I would set about barricading doors and windows and inventorying how much canned food I had, filling up as many jerry cans and milk jugs as possible with water, and taking stock of my first aid supplies. You cannot assume that electric, gas, and water services will stay on long, so I would eat any perishable foodstuffs first and recharge any electric devices such as a power drill and a sportlight (mine is five million candlepower and can run for eight total hours on a full charge). Any restaurants in the area would also suffer a loss of power and therefore their food would also spoil. Food in their freezers might last a few more days, but at one time I was a restaurant manager and I can tell you that nine out of ten times the freezer is locked. A better choice for raids is the supermarket canned goods aisle, as well as their pharmacy for antibiotics, but remember that you may also be in competition or conflict with other survivors for such resources, and they will be wanting to take what you have as well - you may be forced to defend yourself against other humans. Soon I would be reconnoitering the area to see how many had survived, and eliminating any zombies around by drawing them out and engaging them in single combat or in twos and threes so as not to get surrounded. I don't live near a graveyard, so the only undead around would have to be the newly dead. Because of this I might wait a few days before scouting in order to give any undead time to further decay. As their bodies start to decompose they would get slower and weaker, becoming easier to dispatch or dodge. Within three weeks the whole zombie plague would fall apart as they decay past any point of muscular viability. "Blending in" with them is usually not an option, as they can smell your blood and sense your heart beating. Anyone trying to do so is committing suicide.
Various gear I have at hand right now that I would find useful:
Binoculars, Rope and Grappling hook, Coleman lantern, 5-cell Maglite, matches or lighters, can opener, battery operated perimeter alarms, canteen, mess kit, liquid fuel operated campstove, sleeping bag, backpack, handcuffs, armor repair kit, handaxe, whetstone and metal file, toiletries, flare gun, inflatable raft, and a canoe.

I would first make sure I have a car that has access to the trunk from the backseat so that I can load up the trunk with semi-automatic guns with plenty of ammunition and machetes or anything sharp enough to cut through flesh and bones with no effort for hand to hand combat. I would then find the nearest walmart. Walmart has everything, more stuff than a mall and it is smaller so you don't have to worry about multiple doors or floors, if you are lucky you will find a super walmart with a built in grocery store. (Southern California doesn't have super walmarts, stingy bastards). If I can't find a walmart, which is damn near impossible, then I would head for the hills, forest, or somewhere that doesn't have too many people. Zombies, according to George Romero, go to places they are familiar with. I have yet to see a zombie climb up a hill. I would also have people with me to watch my back but will also know that if they get caught then oh well, sucks to be you.

I hole up in the public library, use shelves to board up the entry ways. Few places better protected and have access to much of the knowledge of mankind.
Make forays out to attack and get food. Always restaurants and food near libraries.
First vehicle we get is a Hummer.
We set up generators throughout the place.
We take a trip to the city museum and see about getting some armor. We get few heavy caliber weapons, semi-automatic, and set up watch on the roof. We grab a shortwave and transmit. We give advice and suggestions for things people can do to help themselves.
We set up booby traps in the place where we don't go.
We create and train the next generation and prepare for the long trip into the agricultural region with the materials and books we need to live a simpler life for a while.

take out any zombie in the house as best as i can, barricade the doors and windows. collect any weapons and provision and then get some sleep. the next morning i would get the local phone book and look for the nearest gunsmiths, and if any a sword shop, or a shop with swords in, ornamental or not. then i'd get in my car and get over there, load up my car with weapons and all the ammo i can, go back home via a petrol station and fill up my car. then i'd drop off the weapons, keeping a main weapon on me, a side arm and a sword. then i'd go to the nearest shop and stock up on food, gas cylinders etc. then i'd stay home making as few scouting trips as i need to search for servivers (can't remember how to spel it) and seeing how many zombies are left

Hide in a safehouse with a girl until the zombies are all dead. Then, repopulate the Earth.

Call forth a blizzard and summon my Dire Wolves. Then drink some mana potions really quickly. Rinse and repeat.

If everyone were zombies I'll just commit suicide before I even get to see them.

Scream and run for my life or blend into the crowd. Pretend I am one of them. That's the best I can think of off the top of my head.
