My List of Lists

I just realized I haven’t compiled a list in awhile. I like lists. Lists are how I keep my life organized. In fact, every time I sort through a drawer, I find old lists – things to do, things to get, places to go.

Of course, it’s a rare occurrence when I actually cross the last item off a list. But that’s okay, it’s all about the list itself.

So, herewith, my latest list of the lists I’d like to make:

·         People who make me laugh, even when they’re not trying

·         People I would love to see run for office just for the entertainment value because I would never vote for any of them

·         A dozen places I want to kayak

·         Or hike

·         Or just visit

·         Movies I’d like to see

·         Food I could eat at every sitting

·         Food I won’t eat even under pain of death, starting with broccoli

·         Six reasons not to visit Antarctica

·         Languages I don’t speak fluently

·         Colors / patterns one should not wear if one is shaped like me

·         Jokes that are still funny after all these years

·         8 places one should never scratch, even if one re-e-e-eally needs to

·         3,268 politicians who annoy me, rank ordered

·         Injuries that make me cringe

·         Favorite fair foods

·         Ways to torture my daughters’ dates

·         Other ways to piss off my daughters

·         Projects I’ll get around to, sometime

·         Bones I’ve never broken

·         25 uses for mustard that have nothing to do with eating

·         Words I always read wrong and then feel foolish when I go to look them up

·         Odin’s 10 dumbest doggie expressions

·         The first three things I want to do after the nest goes empty

·         Topics I should write about
