The List…

Ugh that sounds ominous doesn’t it? “The List” scary, scary...but not really. I’m a huge fan of lists. I make them daily since I like a little order and I really like the feeling of crossing stuff off the list. So much so that if I make my morning list and then do something not on the list I will add it just to immediately cross it off. Yes I know this makes me a weirdo!
