I much prefer pen and paper but since I have the phone I feel obliged to use it. I am a hapless victim of thumb typing and autocorrect and I feel as though I have brought an annoying third party into the whole list making process. My lists and I always understood each other just fine when it was just the two of us. <br />I loved going through the Sears cataloge at Christmastime. My brothers and I would take turns picking out the things we wanted.

The house itself was a large white plastic egg, presumably so the neighbors would think one was into very modern balcony furnishings not livestock. The sellers promised an egg a day. <br /><br />And a friend's little brother was given a teeny duckling one Easter. It followed him everywhere and refused to live in the yard, sat by the back door squeaking miserably until it was let in to sleep in the kid's bedroom. To this day he won't eat duck.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-56110235992258852912013-12-15T23:31:43.102-05:002013-12-15T23:31:43.102-05:00When I was a little girl, I dreamed of meeting a g...When I was a little girl, I dreamed of meeting a genie who'd give me three wishes. My first wish would have been to have endless wishes come true. <br /><br />I remember wanting to send away for something with creatures that'd come alive and grow too, how funny.

I loved the badges. I don't think we ever received the Sears catalog but studied it intently at friends' homes. Much to my husband's dismay, I am much more of a mental or no list maker. It's probably one of the best explanations for how I do nothing so well.
