Nothing at all?
While I was sitting on a bench by the river today watching people feed ducks, it wasn't long before I noticed my hands were rummaging through my purse looking for something to do. I couldn't think of anything that needed to be done so I closed it again.
It was peaceful. I saw lots of ducks being strange doing that weird head bobbing thing kind of how Lucy does in that episode where she learns to jitterbug, and I saw a rat scampering around on the other side of the river, which I thought was gross but not as gross because it's a country rat not a sewer rat but then it made me think of Scabbers, which reminded me that I'm turning into a Harry Potter nerd, and all of the sudden it hit me. I have no need for a "to-do" list. WHAT?? This has never happened before! I couldn't believe it. How is it even possible that I don't have a single thing that needs to be done. I wasn't really okay with this so I pulled my list book out anyway, stared at it for a few moments and then quickly came up with nearly a dozen lame little bullet points for a pathetic little to-do list.
Yes, of course I took a picture of my blank to-do list for you. That's how big of a deal it is.
I mean, come on, what's there to live for if not a list to cross things off of? (well, okay, Hilde would say chocolate, Chelsea would say music, and Claire would say chocolate peanut butter ice cream, but I know ONE of my roommates has my back on this one! Paigey, of course.)
A To Do List crisis! I'm certain that even though your first list was lame, there will be plenty more to come.
ReplyDeleteYou've taken some great pictures, and I love your BLOG idea. Carry on!
I WOULD say music. :) But I do agree that to-do lists are an essential, as well!! Ever since last year, I've started making them whenever I have nothing to actually do...so I find these random lists that rarely ever make sense hidden in weird places like the cell phone pocket of my backpack or a draft email in my Outlook.
ReplyDeleteI pick up some hilarrrrious habits from you.
