List your lists

This was sent to me some time ago and I tucked it away to do the cut and paste thing... so sorry!

Here it is -- and anyone else who wants to end the year listing your list... feel free.

I am decluttering my folders, etc. What a good homemaker I am.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. My tree is up. Naked. I'm hoping some little boys will come by and help fill the branches. And maybe their Mama can go finish my Christmas shopping... lol.

List of lists:

I give you money and send you into the grocery store to pick up 5 items. You can only pick one thing from the following departments.. what is it?

1. Produce: Granny Smith apples
2. Bakery: pita bread

3.. Meat: Roast beef

4. Frozen: blueberries
5. Dry Goods: spaghetti noodles

Wasn't that exciting?

Let's say we're heading out for a weekend getaway.
You're only allowed to bring 3 articles of clothing with you. So, what's in your bag?
1. underwear
2. jeans
3. jacket
more breathtaking fantasies

If I was to listen in on one of your conversations throughout the day, what 5 phrases or words would I be most likely to hear?

1. Need to go OUT?
2. Aww... poor puppy...

3. When would you like to eat?
4. Thank you.
5. Good boy!

Humm seems like I talk to the dog more than others...

What are 3 things that you have in your room that have been with you for the longest amount of time?

1. A ceramic piece my Mom made in the 70's...
2. A table my sister in law had as a teenager in her bedroom! She's 60 now..
3. A picture of my mother’s from the 30's [now that’s old] I’ve only had it 40 years...

Once in my clutches, it stays.

If you were only allowed to listen to 5 of your CDs for the rest of your life, never adding anything else, which 5 could you listen to & be content with?

1 Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #2

2 Classical Praise Piano/Cello

3 Acappella Christmas

4 Classical Praise Piano/Violin

5 The Revelation by Karen Heimbuch @ London Symphony Orchestra

Now this is a surprise -- I'm really high class. I didn't know that!

You have a whole afternoon to yourself. We're talking a 3 hour block with nobody around. What 5 activities might we find you doing?

1. Reading a book if I had something good on hand
2. Reading blogs on the computer.
3. Sewing on a project
4. Painting a room or other home project.
5. Writing

Is there no end to the excitment in my life!

You're hungry for ice cream. I'll give you a triple dipper ice cream cone. What 3 flavors can I pile on for ya?

1.butter pecan
2. triple chocolate
3. Vanilla
Now we're talking! Woo! Woo!

Somebody stole your purse – |in order to get it back, you have to name 5 things you know are inside to claim it. So, what's in there?

1. Drivers license
2. Bank card
3.Insurance cards
4.notebook
5.pen

No one would ever know what a fun person I am with that list. Not a frog in sight.

You are at a job fair, and asked what areas you are interested in pursuing a career in. Let's pretend you have every talent and ability to be whatever you wanted, so what 4 careers would be fun for you?

1. Conferance Speaker/Singer
2. Author

3. Talk show hostess
Inte4. rior Decorator [someone else would do all the work of my ideas]

Job Fair? They hadn't even been invented when I was pursuing!

If you could go back and talk to the old you [ when you were in high school ] and inform yourself of 4 things that you should or should not do what would it be?

1. Stop comparing yourself with others. Believe in yourself - you are competent!
2. College is not out of the question – talk to teachers about ways to make it happen.
3. Don’t believe people who say negative things to you about your dreams; they are trying to protect you from being hurt. [they said years later]
4. Do not aim low just because it’s safe. Failure isn’t fatal.

Okay, that's done. Back to reading blogs.

Tomorrow is more baking. I've been ordered to bake

Shepherd's Bread for Christmas.

Wish that could be their gifts! They are so spoiled -- only they

spoiled themselves after they left me

[they were perfect when they lived here, as I recall].

Miss Meg

but it do hurt! for awhile.

So, what 3 things do you find yourself doing every single day, and if you didn't get to do, you'd probably be in a pretty irritable/bad mood?
1.Walk
2. Eat breakfast
3. Read Bible
We're on a roll now!

I am a little concerned about your husband removing your computer's guts and replacing them with fast whatevers. The fastest thing I can think of is a blender and I don't think that would do a computer much good. Of course I don't understand anything at all about computers so maybe I'm completely wrong and it would be awesome.

Thanks for sharing the colors. The farthest I have gotten on this project is that my new color must be incredibly luminous.
