Making Lots of Lists

Aren't lists great?  Visual representation of thoughtful tasks or goals.  Maybe I think lists are great because I am a list maker.  A list conqueror.  A lover of lists.  Usually, I will title my list, even if it doesn't require a title.  Take today for instance.  Today is Friday.  I knew that today would be Friday.  I was in no danger of forgetting that fact.  I know, per Rebecca Black, that yesterday was Thursday and that tooodeeyee it is Friday.  Friday. 

I titled my list for today.  It said 'Friday'.  And that, my friends, is what list makers do.

This is what my list looked like today minus what's in parenthesis:

* Friday *
-Register for summer conference (checked that one off)
-Book hotel (for the conference...this one got a check too)
-research health insurance for me, and fish fries (heehee those are funny things to write together, BUT in my defense, both items needed to be done on the internet, so that's why they share a line.  And, yes, I do have health insurance now, but it's pricey, and I don't have lots of health needs, so we're thinking of switching me to something that fits better.  Of course, I researched fish fries.  Don't you?)
-Pay Garcia late fee (that one got a big slash mark through it when finished.  I forgot to add 'pay rent' to my list for April 1st.  See what that got us?  A big, fat late fee.  Two points Garcia, zero points Wifey.  boo.)
-tithe check, Pay ATT (I group things that correlate.  Pay day=tithe+bills.  Math.  These also got slash marks)
-Haircut 4pm (I've been thinking about and have been excited for this one since I made the appointment last week.  It's just on here so that I could continue to anticipate it until the time came.)

So, yeah.  Anyway.  Let's be amused by something.  Here's a tribute to Awkward Family Photos

  1. I also came dangerously close to being late on rent this month! Of course I was in KY when I realized it. With all the birthday celebrating I just plumb forgot!!

  2. Yep, that's what did it for me. All the birthday joy took my attention, which isn't a bad thing. Steve remembered while we were there, otherwise, who KNOWS when I would've gotten around to it.

  3. From one list maker to you, another list maker... it keeps me sane, and because of lists... I only have to actually "think" about once or twice a week :)
