summer to do list

i like lists. i like plans. i like writing my lists and writing my plans in my calendar. these things make me feel productive and help me stay on track. this summer, however, i have failed in my list making and even more in completing the tasks on any lists i have made. i realize that the fact that this bothers me may make some people to think that i am ocd or a control freak. really i just like to know what each day will contain, and i do like to actually get things done. it's satisfying. think what you will. i don't care.

i'm writing to say i'm turning over a new summer leaf:

starting now. lists lists lists. i'm making them and sticking to them.

the only problem now is that i wish my summer list looked like this:

1. camping
2. hiking
3. swimming
4. traveling (anywhere and everywhere)
5. playing with my doggies
6. eating my momma's yummy summer foods (grilled everything and lots of fruit)
7. reading whatever i want
8. going to baseball games
9. and the list goes on and on
   

rather than this:

1. grocery store
2. post office
3. barnes and noble (for work not play)
4. read theory
5. laundry
6. coffee/lunch/other activity with friend(s) (this of course is the highlight and something i would want to be on any list)

anyway, it's a slow summer, but i'm going to make it more productive starting now!
