Speaking of Lists

I found mine for this challenge, and as fate would have it, I had nothing on there for the letter L. 

So I’ll go with ‘lists’.

I need lists.

I feel less scattered if I have a list to follow. 

The most important being my grocery list.  I know that’s pretty common with everyone.  The time I think I don’t need one is the time I will most certainly forget something.  Take today for example.  All I needed were four things, just four things:  tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, an avocado and french bread.  Do you think I managed to walk home with all of them?  Nope.  Didn’t make a list, forgot the french bread. 

When we were first married, we didn’t have a washer or dryer.  One day I stopped off at the grocery store to get one thing—laundry soap.  That’s all.  Nothing else.  Just laundry soap.  I paid, walked out to the truck, drove to the laundromat, filled the first washer up and realized I had left my laundry soap at the store.  I was too embarrassed to go back.  “Uh, I believe I forgot my laundry soap, here’s my receipt to prove it.”  Sheesh!

But on the flip side I was never good at tests in school that had lists. 

I was in one history class in high school where the teacher spent every day of that semester writing dates/events on the board.  We were required to copy what she wrote, study it and take a test that matched the dates with the person or event.  Forget it. 

Multiple choice was the worst.  I could’ve answered the question and got it right if you’d simply ask, but make me pick between A,B,C,D or all of the above and you’ve just managed to give me a huge brain fart. 

There you have it.  My thoughts on the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to lists.

What about you?  Are you a list maker?

It’s All Have List Have Peace Good!
