Today, boys and girls, I will be discussing list making. Lists are important to people because sometimes you just can't rely on the old memory to store and release all that good stuff when needed. My parents were fervent believers in sitting down and going over what needed to be done for the week or weekend.
How about that grocery list. I make the mistake of letting everyone in the family know that I'm heading off to the feed store. Thus begins the shouting in both of my ears and staring in front of me as if my eyes will absorb the acute movement of their lips as if its a backup system for my ears. Yeah, let em yell. I put everything down that I think is needed and then, wait for it..... leave the list on the kitchen table. Its dangerous to go grocery shopping when you don't have a list. I find it exhilarating actually. Kind of being naughty almost on purpose.
You know, there are people who have a tablet or paper pad on their bedside table. I'm not sure how to embrace list making while love making. "Honey, hold that a second, I have to write something very important on my list." I don't think I would impress my husband with my ability to say on top of things. Haha
Along with dieting the only other thing I implore internally to do is keep lists. Write more stuff down, no matter how pertinent. I can always cross it off the list later. I suspect the pay-off is crossing everything off the list and then throwing it away. I'll have to try it some time.
LOL funny - yes I never realized it but going shopping without a list is a "naughty" - perfect, and loved the last two lines. I see a book in your future! Keep writing. Did you write anything about mothers day?
ReplyDeleteHi Amy.... you know I didn't write about Mother's Day. It kind of flew by. There's other stuff brewing believe me. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate any criticism, good or bad.
