to do

I like making lists. While I am somewhat forgetful, I don't believe this is the reason that I find myself constantly creating them. Perhaps it's the sense of accomplishment i get when crossing things off. perhaps it's beceause it motivates my ass off the couch -- perhaps it's just because i am, and always will be, a planner -- whatever it is, at home or at work...there is always a list floating around somewhere. Often these lists contain the most obviously mundane tasks that really, shouldn't need to be written down for me to recognize they need doing.

take for example today's list:

• get navel re-pierced
• put away clothes lying all over bed
• buy bocce ball set for cottage weekend
• recycling
• vacuum
• look at used laptops
• unload dishwasher
• call K & M re: 1st wedding anniversary congrats
• return golf clubs
• write 'lists' blog

I've managed to so far, complete task #1 and #4 and I'm currently working away on the last one. I have little hope for the rest.

Here's what else I got done today that happened out of pure spontaneity...

• break down and purchase a pair of flip flops, recognizing and finally accepting they are a wardrobe stable that will not be going away anytime soon.
• ask a quick question about used laptops and walk out of the store 15 minutes later after dropping $1K on a used Mac notebook..and various upgrades (sorry, iBook..i am now a mactonite and can not longer speak PC)

what a highly productive and expensive day. I think tomorrow's list will start with

• figure out how to pay off credit card
