"Today's Make A List..."

One thing I know not to do well is to take time to make a list when I go to the grocery store. I pretty much know what's still in m pantry & in my fridge. If you cook every day and open your fridge 25 times a day or even more than that when you have company, you know so well what you need to buy, what you need to throw out because they already reached their expiration date and what you're low in your compartments, so does with what you need in the cupboards. 

And if you're like me, I love to buy a quantity of food when they're discounted half their sale price. I also know that when you do that, you need to cook or consume them within a few days that you bought them.

I also don't make a list of the things I need to put in my purse because I only need 5 things in it which are: my Bible, my keys, my reading glasses, my cell phone, and a nail clipper. I'll take the nail clipper more than any facial product like lipstick or compact powder.
The only time I make a list is when I go out of town or state to visit family relatives or attend to women's Christian conferences.

My list consists of thorough reminders of how my dogs are to be taken good care of; that there should be a consistency in their feeding schedule, walks, and playtimes. I'm also very specific on how the appliances are to be utilized accordingly especially the stove and the iron. Maybe because mom has told me that their house got burned twice when she was little and as a doting mother, she reiterated to us the importance of your stove and iron and water faucets in checked. It makes sense for I inherited that sense of urgency from her.

My kids are grown now and they always joke around how exaggerated I was and even now when leaving them with a list to do. And I make them comply for I call them up and leave messages on their voicemail if they don't answer the phone. They get it with some kind of persuasion. So, that's it. I know this is not close to a 500-word but I don't want to mumble words that are drifting away from their essence just to make it to 500- word entry blog. Thus, I'm signing off with a feeling of not so noteworthy of my writing. It happens to many of us. However, this makes me feel good that I still write even when the title is at the surface.

God be Praised!
