I’m not sure what it is with guys and making lists. They just don’t do it. Or, to be fair, the men in my life sure don’t. And it’s not even that they dislike said lists…they do appreciate them if the lists happen to be around. They just don’t create them. Or, more accurately, the men in my life don’t write them down. They just like leave the lists up there in their noodles to marinate around in there for a bit I guess.
Since that just sounds like a casserole that I wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole, I usually take it upon myself to jot down the list for them. Plus I love lists. I put lists right up there with babies and strawberry shortcake and skies of blue and all that is right with this wonderful world. That’s normal, right?
So here is our list for this project. You’ll see there’s lots to do and some of it is already done, but I wanted you to get the full effect of what is involved in this manic race. Enjoy the insanity!
