Disclaimer: I’m in a rush. I have to read about 90 pages in the next hour. And though I am a fast reader, that is just pushing it. So, don’t be expecting, you know, poetry or anything.
Two of the ladies I follow on Twitter — Kyran Pittman of the blog Planting Dandelions and Karen Walrond of the blog Chookooloonks — were having a big conversation about Flair pens. And they were saying that Flair pens are the best pens in the universe. In fact, Kyran informed me that these pens would turn my to-do lists into poetry. I thought that sounded like a neat idea. So, of course, I immediately went out and purchased some. And then I rewrote my to-do list with this pen.
I think I did it wrong, because my to-do list is still just a to-do list. Dammit.
it didn't work. now i am sad. if it doesn't work soon. i will be mad. ooh. i made a poem. VICTORY!
In other news, my kitchen looks like it has been raining pepperoni. In an effort to get my baby to consume anything other than fruit or bread, I have been offering him different meats and cheeses. On the menu today, turkey pepperoni. It didn’t go over well. Not at all.
Excuse me while I go add “pick up half chewed bits of turkey pepperoni off the floor” to my to-do list.
Also, Craig is out of town on business and is emailing me pictures of his hotel. There are no bits of turkey pepperoni on his floor. No fair.
I vote that the title of your poem be VICTORY!

When Sam was about 2 1/2, he got really into puzzles. We taught him to hold his fingers up like Nixon and shout VITORY! any time he completed a puzzle.
Turkey pepperoni is the BEST!

Henry would beg to disagree.
And that, Ma’am, pretty much sums up why I had a kid in a nutshell.
Maybe Henry is too young to appreciate the finer points of turkey charcuterie…. It’s either that or he’s just being a punk! :)
i love to-do lists and i love reading your blog. thanks for brightening others’ day

thanks for brightening mine. with compliments like this and awesome salt scrubs.
How come your list is not numbered?? This is incorrect!! They have to have numbers,not dots. Sorry, just one of the rules of the world.

DAD! NO! What are you doing? You’re blowing my mind with this criticism on my to-do list. To-do lists are the only thing I do right. Oh, and also I am a perfect daughter. Right? Yeah, I thought so.
