Late Night List of "To-Do" Tasks

 Yeah this is in no way related to me, but I am watching WEtv's Little Miss Perfect and wanted to share the joy of child pageants with everyone. ha, gross.

I read somewhere once that people love to read lists of things in other people's blogs. I am not sure why this is. Perhaps because it is short and to the point. Perhaps because they are easy to read. Maybe people just like how bullets points make a page look organized. I am sure there is some logic behind it somewhere. It is too late at night for me to focus on analyzing it at this very moment. That being said, it is NOT too late in the night for me to come up with a list of things seeing as I cannot find sleep anyways. Wherever I read this notion from (somewhere online I do believe), many people concurred that they did enjoy reading lists of, well, pretty much anything at all. Going off of that (and since I was going to hand write out this list anyways) I have decided to document my list here so that:

(A) I am not wasting paper.

(B) I do not lose said piece of paper.

(C) Because my laptop was already on and I can.

(D) My last blog entry said I would have more posts as the time go closer to my leaving so if all else fails I have at the very least written two before I leave.

Anywho anyhow, here for your reading pleasure is a list of all the things I have yet to accomplish prior to my flight leaving on Monday evening (a mire 5 days and a few hours from now). I hope you find it a mildly interesting read. If not, well then, at least I still accomplish the above A - D and you have only wasted 10 minutes of your life (which you were probably going to be wasting on the computer anyhow if you decided to wander to my blog, therefore allowing you to REALLY only brake even instead of a straight up losing). 

I digress...

There you have it. Headed to post this on FB for my mom (related to what we were watching before she went to bed and the photo I opened this entry with) then trying to hit the hay. Seriously, check out the creep factor in that video, I rate it pretty high. Luncheon date in the AM and hang-out with Brynn in the evening. Thanks for playing folks.
