Emily, I have never been a real list person, but I married one. I still am not as big on them but, they are growing on me. Raendra will write a list out and then re-write the list in a more organized fashion. I am not there yet....yet. Good luck today. Quite a list.

Yeah, obviously I'm going to have some carry-over to tomorrow. Well, sounds like Raendra is whipping you into shape! :) BTW, Congrats on the baby news. You heard the heartbeat? How cool is that!

Mothers always get blamed for the things their kids don't like about themselves! Be ready for that!

Maybe Brian can give you some tips to help you get over your compulsion to create lists! You could be free!!!

But, do you really think a "listless" lifestyle would work for you even if you had no business, no children, a different life?

I think it is in the blood, not just a learned behavior from your maternal parent!

By the way, your dad makes a list every day. So it isn't all me! ;o)

May your list be halved by tomorrow as you check (or write off) items one at a time today! You know you get a high from those checkmarks!

I had a friend ween herself off of "the list" when she felt it was taking over her life. A few year's later and she's back on it, though.
