a List

Any length, any subject. Give us a list.

Eleven Eleven, January 5, 2011 at 5:09 PM: Ten things I didn't know when I was twenty:

1. Painted leather makes you sweat

2. The flu and a stomach virus are two very different things

3. It doesn’t matter what other people think

4. Jersey knit polyester pills when you wash it

5. Success is a matter of attitude and effort, not outcome.

6. Refinancing a mortgage for a 1% APR drop pays for itself in about three years

7. I am justified in walking away from an insult

8. It’s time to get a new car when the needed repair will cost more than the blue book value.

9. Happiness is a choice

10. Avocados are delicious
Nandy Ekle, January 7, 2011 at 5:25 AM: 10 Things I See In My Living Room

1. The Christmas Tree (I'm working on putting it up)

2. Fireplace

3. Craig's fish tank (and little Nemo)

4. A pepto-pink snuggy and a camo snuggy wadded up together in the floor (hmmm - symbolic?)

5. Unopened Christmas presents because we still haven't seen our son

6. A box of junk intended for the thrift store

7. The unusually dark and quiet TV

8. The tower of CDs that we don't listen to anymore (thrift store fodder?)

9. My empty computer case

10 box of crown-shaped hooks to eventually go on a wall (one of my Christmas presents)
