To Do or Not To Do, That Is The Question
The Filch from To Do List...which is a great idea and a nice companion blog to Found and Passive Aggressive Notes.
Last night, whilst enduring a three hour Adolescent Psychology class in which neither adolescents nor psychology were mentioned beyond a passing whiff of Piaget in the night air, I made this list.
To Do:
- Sunday brunch
- new sweater
- brown sandals
- kitchen lights
- pick paint
- plan tile
- research articles for papers
- rsvp bday parties
- donation for H.S.'s bday gift
- note for J.
- check to mom
- swimming sign up/card pick up
- call floor guy
Then I put my head in an oven because my life is so boring and tedious.
When I revived myself and pulled my head out of the oven, all the while avoiding notice from the man in the front of the room talking about the toxicity of grain alcohol (not Bandura, not Freud, not Kohlberg, not Gilligan....grain alcohol), I made this list, which I like better.
- compel DNC to wrap it up
- reacquaint self with kitchen and how to use it
- find haircut that is neither no-style, which I'm working now, nor the inevitable "mom-tail"
- find Wiccan spellbook and conjure two research papers and a powerpoint presentation on methods of adolescent emotional assessment
- resist urge to send prank emails to friends re: THIS*
- determine authenticity of The Hills without ever watching the show
- identify not-a-blog niche that will catapult me to stardom and riches
- investigate arson laws, especially as they relate to "accidental fires in limited areas of attic storage space"
- avoid facebook
- convince TWGH that he would sleep better on ironed sheets...and that he enjoys ironing
- dig underground tunnel between my house and Trader Joe's dark chocolate storage shelf
- buy entirely new chic yet functional and flattering wardrobe -caveat: no white leather
*I had no idea that THIS existed until I saw it on Mominatrix, which is associated with Imperfect Parent, and is written by HER. The pictorial is my favorite part. And truly, could you ever stop laughing so that you could actually put it to use?!
I have a not-a-blog niche (or two) that I'd be willing to do with a partner

Ninety six bucks! Holy Crap, it must be good. I need to start a fund.
I think your niche may be lists.

Yeah, right? For $96 it had better make dinner, do the dishes, toss in a load of wash, and take the kids to the park the next morning so I can sleep in. Then again, I didn't look at the instructions that carefully, maybe it does those things.
