Lists

I was at a "come to my house and buy stuff so I get free stuff" party the other night (why do women have these parties?) and the hostess was talking about being a "list person". She said that she will actually write things on her list that she has already done, just to cross them off. I could completely sympathize. I do it too, because I am also a list person. I love cuddling up with my notebook to make lists; weekly menu plans, grocery lists, to do lists. I don't understand how some women survive without making lists. I am too busy to remember everything and when I cross things out it feels like I am actually accomplishing something everyday. Even if it is just items like making dinner, or calling my mom or reading to my daughters--things that I do almost everyday, I feel great satisfaction looking at a list all crossed out.
