So, a few posts down, I was talking about lists. I'm not kidding that I'm a list lover. Its actually kind of embarassing to even type this blog entry because of the extremely ridiculous amounts of lists that I create and keep around the house. These lists are found mostly in my planner or on my bulletin board. One of them is kept in a notebook that I add all my favorite quotations and is in our living room. I personally find it easier to get things done when I can cross it out and feel accomplished. So, in an effort to a) inspire others and b) truly show what a nerd I am; here are a few of the lists around our house...
