the ultimate list.

Those of you who know me know I love lists.  Not really love them… it’s more like I require them to get anything done.  When I was little it made all the difference in the world if my mom would make me a list (complete with boxes to check) of chores that needed to be done rather than tell me to do it.  Either I would a)forget what I had to do or b)not know where to start and end up just staring at everything.  But having a list to check off the boxes and feel like I accomplished something – well, it felt good! 

 

I do admit that you’ll probably go through my purse and see a million lists that have either the same thing written on all of them or nothing crossed off at all.  Either way, I’m a visual person and I like seeing what I have to do in the form of a list.  And it’s even better when I actually take the time to cross them off and can wave it around proudly saying, “I’m finished!”  (Ok, that rarely happens.)

 

So, I decided to make the ultimate list.  A life list.  I’ve seen others start one and cross off the things that they’ve always wanted to do and I wanted one of my own!  Except I didn’t want the cookie-cutter life list that people just copy and paste.  You know :

 

Visit the 7 Wonders of the World … Experience weightlessness …  Read the entire Bible … Learn to juggle

 

I wanted to create my own and have goals that were for ME.  Ok, so I admit I’ve actually accomplished one above and another one is on my list…

 

So go ahead and take a look at my list by clicking at the top of the page or right here.  Let me know what you think!  With each goal I accomplish, I’ll have a special post dedicated to it.  How super exciting is that??  :)   And just in case you were wondering what to get me for Christmas, crossing something off the list would be nice…

 

:) allie

 

Wanna help me cross one off to see what it feels like?  Here’s my first goal :

*Have everyone who reads this page leave either a comment or a goal that would be on their life list!  :)

I need some love, y’all!!

    It’s insane really…I check your blog often to see pictures and see what’s going on in your world. Every time, I am flooded with memories from childhood. Plus the fact that I teach in an elementary school where I put myself in my kids shoes and you were such a part of my life way back then.

    So inspired by you and your work. Would love to meet up sometime and catch up, way up.

    My life list…I’m just not sure yet. I’ll have to get back to you.
