I am the girl of 100 lists.Fom what shall I wear to who I have kissed.
Check patterns off, let nothing be missed.
Sing I to myself and my 100 lists.
Like many girls my age, I learned everything I needed to know about life from Belinda Carlisle. Take fabulous vacations! Waterski! Learn to lip-synch better! Those irrepressible Go-Go's; they got so much done in a day! And you know why, don't you? Because they made lists.
I do declare... I am the Girl of 100 Lists! Every morning to help me get crackin', I drink some wonderful coffee and prepare the List Du Jour. Lists help me stay organized and feel successful. I like to use paper that has lines and a comfortable pen. Sometimes I try to match my little pen to my coffee cup, even though it's very distracting and counterproductive to getting actual things accomplished. Still, it's fun and extremely adorable.
Sure, there are days when the list can be pretty tedious.
Other days, challenges are everywhere!
Occasionally, I put stuff on my list that is already happening, so I get to cross it off right away.
When I make my lists, it's like I'm saying to the world, "Hey, World, look at me! I am MAKING a list!" It's THAT powerful a feeling.Lots of successful people make lists. Santa Claus.
Led Zeppelin.
God.
And me!


Once all the Halloween swag has been carefully inventoried and catalogued, you really need to ask first before you go eating a guy's Nerds Rope. Even if it's twelve days later and Trick or Treat is already forgotten, don't do it. Even if you found the half-eaten package discarded in the back of the car, DO NOT eat their Nerds Rope! They will never forgive you. And now they're gonna be watching you very, very carefully.
Dude, how else are you gonna find out what would happen if you tied 375 helium-filled balloons to a sumo wrestler? Did you see that episode? It was completely bananas! Or how about what would happen if the guys challenged a great big lumberjack to a lunchmeat chop-off? You'd be surprised at the results!
and ninjas...
and the guys who work at the bakery (they are so lucky!)
So, off he went to school this morning, confident and filled with time-related knowledge, after a somewhat misguided attempt to slurp down his cereal with a green crazy straw. Go get 'em, Rory Boy! And remember the immortal words of one of Dublin's fondest intellectuals, Oscar Wilde. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars!"
