The question is, how many of my blog readers are also list making addicts? Go ahead, you can admit it. It's safe here. Please leave a note in the comments if you are one of us... I'd like to have a list of all members in the List Maker Club.

List Maker Club?
My sister in law totally cracked me up with her blog post today. I was then forced to admit my own addiction to making lists. (See her blog for my confession.)
The question is, how many of my blog readers are also list making addicts? Go ahead, you can admit it. It's safe here. Please leave a note in the comments if you are one of us... I'd like to have a list of all members in the List Maker Club.

I thought I was al ist maker, but after reading your comment I fear I fall short. Maybe it is just that I never accomplish what is on my lists.
I will strive to be a better list maker!:)
Oh I'm feeling so much better tonight about my list making addiction. Didn't think that was possible after having my mild panic attack this morning thinking I was about to run out of post-it notes. My list is much like yours. There is an electronic calendar, hard copy calendar, dry erase board calandar. Lists for lists and on and on it goes. I'm glad to have made you laugh with my entry today, it did just hit me as I was sitting working on two different list and seeing several others laying on my desk that it was time to admit that I have a real addiction. Oh but the Excel for the shopping lists is the very best thing that I ever did list wise! :)
Would you believe I was making a list as i was reading your blog.. Its true I was. My problem is that I make great list.. then for example i go to the store and can not find my list. I either leave it in the car or it is still sitting on my table.. argg..my beautiful list left behind! I am that way about planners too. Ok this is going to make me sound totally lame, but i get excited when it is time to buy a new planner. I always love to go and see what new orginizational wonders they have come up with this year and in what cute designs..lame i know!
sorry i just realized we had the same background.. didn't mean to be a copycat!
I love makeing lists it helps me feel in control of things. When I lose a list I freak out. I have not made them on the computer to many times. But I may have to start. I have about 5 going right now for back to school stuff and our family trip to utah...
No worries, Carolina Girl, I do the same thing with the new planners. Don't you love that they have school year calendars and standard year calendars? That means new planners to check out twice each year! (By the way, after I posted my comment on my SIL's blog, I realized I also have separate planners for PTO and scouts.)
I bet you can get Mustang Man to laugh and tell you a good story if you ask him something involving my name and office supplies. :)
I don't know what happened, but my list of lists disappeared. I will try again.
I make lists.
I make lists of things to do.
I make lists of things I eat.
I make lists of things I don't eat.
I make lists of foods Rosedust will eat.
I make lists of presents to give to other people.
I make lists of things I want for my birthday or Christmas.
I make lists of menu plans.
I make lists of people.
I make lists of things under my bed.
I make lists of things in my bag.
I make lists for gatherings.
Shopping lists.
Name lists.
Scripture lists.
Things I have done lists.
Music lists.
You name it, I've probably made a list of it.
I must admit that this is a long standing problem. I wish I had access to my 5th grade journal, but it's packed. It has several lists such as, "Boys I like" (there are 21 on it, I think), "People I Like" (there was a little popularity problem in my class and I found out I was on the un-cool list-like I needed to be told), "Boys I Don't Like"... you get the idea.
My favorite non-doctrinal writing on list-making is a chapter in Louise Plummer's "Thoughts of a Grasshopper." I highly recommend it and would let you borrow it if weren't packed. :) It specifically covers lists in journaling. GREAT!
Did you hear me gasp when I read about the lists in your 5th grade journal? We are surely kindred spirits!
Mustang Man thinks it is great entertainement for me to read him a few pages out of my journals from my childhood. However, when he teased me about my own people lists, I stopped reading them to him for a while.
I'm going to look for "Thoughts of a Grasshopper" at the library today.
You probably won't find it at the library. She was one of my BYU English professors. Maybe Inter-Library Loan?
Talk about kindred spirits... I LOVE your play list. I usually mute them first thing because I don't want them to wake a baby, etc... But TODAY, I listened and am in love. I'm cleaning the house because Cambria is about to come over so I can help her with some family history stuff and I've been listening to your playlist the whole time. THANKS!!! Do you have the Charlotte Church CD that has the Josh Groban duet on it?
PS I should add that I make lists of dead people. haha... (as in showing those who are ready for names to be submitted for ordinances).
I have a to do list on my home page...when I sit down in the morning it has five things right there. I also have a Christmas notebook for stuff to purchase for Christmas, stuff I wish for, stuff I DO buy so I don't forget about it. I have a list for addresses, and I make lists of notes to myself beside my computer. They are not numbered, nor even in any sort of order however, usually all over the page, upside down and sideways. I have a list of phone numbers on my wall, a list of card layouts for my stamps, many many lists. I don't know how to live without lists...my dh also makes lists, but he actually checks stuff off his lists...I'm still working on that. :)
Smiles,

I love lists too! No matter what the task, I have a list for it! I tack them to a cork-board in our office. Mike thinks they boarder on ridiculous, but I need them. I can also relate to Carolina Girl's love of purchasing new planners/calendars. I even love the way new planners smell! That officially makes me weird! We should have a girl's night where we list the lists we need to make! :-)
lol - I just got through reading Lara's blog, and she was confessing the same thing. Must be something in the blogger air.
I make lists, but that's not my confession. My confession is, I FORGET TO READ THEM!!!!
Tee-hee! :D
Hey mom of five gents! that sounds strikingly similar to my life as mom of three little boys and one larger little boy! one more boy, and i will be as learned and wise as you. I love your blog! It is SO CUTE!!! I LOVED that object lesson on the other post! And by the way.
I too love making lists. I make lists while sitting in sacrament meeting!
I am going to link you on my blog, is that ok?
