My family laughs at my lists.
Honestly. They don't understand.
I've lived for quite a while now and if I think of something important, and I don't write it down, that sucker is gone.
So, I carry pen & paper almost everywhere I go or I text myself so I don't forget all the crap I need to remember.
The easiest way to explain my compulsion is to share with you my list of lists.
So, here they are, in no particular order...
1. List of FD auxiliary crap I need to do for the Holiday Shopping Spree I run in December.
2. List of school crap I need to do for my son.
3. List of work crap I need to do to help out my husband.
4. List of event crap I need to put on/take off the family calendar.
5. List of important crap I need to write blog posts about.
6. List of bits & pieces crap I need to remember to write into my new story.
7. List of research question crap I need to ask my 'experts'.
8. List of football equipment crap I need to return to the league.
9. List of outdoor crap I need to put away before we get snow.
10. List of recipe crap I'm already making for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
Really. It's pathetic.
But, it's how I keep things going in the Gardner household.

Thanks for listing with me, Heather! Crap! That's a good list of lists you've had to/or will have to make.
ReplyDeleteA list of lists. Brilliant. I have a lot of #6. :)
ReplyDeleteHeather!
ReplyDeleteThose are some crappy lists. You need a list for your lists now.
Thanks for participating in the blog hop.
Brilliant, and I like how you use the word crap in every entry! The school crap one is relatable, but for me it's not for my kids- it's for myself! I'm a college student and I have SO much school crap to remember.

That was very enjoyable. I'm putting together a Thanksgiving crap list myself.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of lists, but I'm finding more and more that I keep them too. :) Lots of great bloghops going on! Have a terrific week.
ReplyDeleteLOL - I make those same lists. If I don't write it down, I'll never remember.
ReplyDeleteI make list too, I find random pieces of paper all over with list from 3 years ago or longer, when I start cleaning out drawers and desks, lol
ReplyDeleteJuneta Writer's Gambit
LOL. Lists of lists. I knew someone would do that. I have most of my outdoor stuff put away for the winter. Soon I'll be switching out the rakes for snow shovels.
ReplyDeleteSusan Says
To read your list it seems that life is a lot of crap. I guess a lot of it is too. I should write down my list of lists rather than keep it all in my head. My brain is getting too crowded.

embrace your lists. I am sure you have to keep track of Stormy's lists too. But it is satisfying to check off things. Good luck
ReplyDeleteLove the theme of your lists! Too much crap, too little time. :)
ReplyDeleteYvonne
That's a whole lot of crap! Actually, I have a lot of similar lists of things that need to be done. How else would we keep track of things??
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, I love lists, and yes, there's a lot of crap that needs done!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, the list of crap that needs to be done. Nice. There's always some crap to do.
ReplyDeleteI've got to write down everything too. It's not so much compulsory, it's more due to my featherbrain-iness.
ReplyDeleteLONG LIVE LISTS!!!!!!!

Ah, the crap we fill our lives with :D Great list, Heather!
ReplyDeleteGuilie @ Quiet Laughter
Yup, to-do lists are a necessary evil! I have two or three floating around my desk. Oh good, the book trick-or-treat is going on. I hadn't heard about it anywhere yet. Guess I hadn't been to the "right part of the blogosphere" yet. Thanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteWell, glad I'm not the only with a listing problem though I don't think it's really a problem if it works for us.
ReplyDeleteI am always making lists as well. To be honest, my list for this blog-hop was almost a list of lists too. In the end, I opted for my top five favourite songs.
