Lists

I'm a big list person.  I write shopping lists for the grocery store and present lists and packing lists.  And even though I have a million iphone list making apps I still write them all out by hand.  I like to cross things off, it makes me feel better.  It gives me a sense of accomplishment.

It also wastes paper.  I know.

I've never gotten into the whole "life list" or "bucket list" craze.  I know many, many other people have, but I just can't.  I can't think that far ahead.  I can barely think about what I want to accomplish TODAY let alone what I want to accomplish IN MY LIFETIME.  I'm pretty sure I'd like to go to Tuscany and maybe retire someday? Maybe run something further than a 5k?  Raise a healthy well adjusted functioning member of society? Spend a night at The Inn at Little Washington?  (We have had dinner there but never spent the night.)

I write a terrible life list.  I think other people's vision boards are lovely.  Mine would be awful.

I'm going to do one thing in 2012 and I'm going to do that thing if it kills me.  I'm going to work harder at that than I've worked at anything in my entire life.  I've got one thing on my list and it is starred and bolded and underlined.  And in all caps.  

I'm not ready to tell you what it is just yet, (no, I'm not going to have a baby), but I promise, the minute it happens, you all will be the first group of people I tell. (Well, maybe the second.)

2012, the year of change.

Who is with me?
