a little list

Someone had the absolutely brilliant idea of writing a blog, which has been made into a book, consisting (mostly) of to-do lists submitted by readers. Here's what's on my list for Thursday, though, admittedly, some of the items fall more into the category of "notes to self."


  • http://webmonkey.com/webmonkey/reference/html_cheatsheet/

  • buy 2 doz bagels + cream cheese

  • separation of powers


  • make dr appointment

  • refill prescriptions


  • upper volta (?)


  • plot of Yeoman of the Guard


  • pay car excise tax

  • renew resident parking permit


  • call clinic re waiver form


  • “The first thing a principle does -- if it really is a principle -- is to kill somebody.”


  • price (and book?) plane tix for Paris

What's on your list for today?

Last count I had nearly 40 things on my house/personal list. The things i achieved today were
- moved the boy's swim class to a Tuesday so I could go and not the nanny
- spoke to my sister about her plans for our cousin's wedding in the summer
-checked when the primary school admission results go online
As usual I failed to get round to planning our trip to the wedding which as it is the other side of the world is a big deal and failed to get my blog off the ground again.

Aurelia said...

I'm tired reading all these lists.

I have to pick up prescriptions, and put stuff away, and clear away mess for my new appliances.

But all I want to do is nap and cry.

Anonymous said...

*Attend nutrition seminar
*Wash Dishes
*Finish reading my current book
*Sleep for more than 4 hours

Unknown said...

I make lists not because I am Type A (oh, quite the opposite), but because I have a horrible memory. If I were to draw myself, I would be covered with post-it notes.

Magpie said...

Upper Volta is now Burkina Faso. Its capital is Ouagadougou - one of the all time great city names.

My list for today? Take mother to doctor. It stretched into two doctors and one doppler, and took from 9 to 5. But it's done.

Amanda said...

You have a great to-do list! My to-do list was completely scrapped when I broke my glasses and had to spend an entire day arranging for sight. Ugh.

I would have much rather spent my day completing your list -- or at least figuring out what a few of your things to do are.
