list maker

i make lists.  for everything.  lists for the grocery store.  lists for what to try to accomplish on a busy day of cleaning the house (keeps me from procrastinating as much).  lists for Target so i don't buy $100 worth of stuff i don't need every time i go.  lists for what to pack on trips.  lists for what to do in a day of errand running.

during lunch last night, i enjoyed flipping through january's RealSimple (a great magazine- you should treat yourself to it next time you are anywhere that sells magazines (unless it's Target and you've already spent over $100 and you only went in for sunscreen and a birthday card) and found this list titled "the to-do list you can actually do."  it's fantastic, and i think you might all be able to do this in a day, too.
