Industrial revolution

I love lists. Even at our other times of the year, I have all sorts of lists going. Things to do, things to make, things to buy, things to retrieve from storage, things for Steve to do. But Christmas is definitely a stellar opportunity for list creation.

For you, a list of all my current lists:

1. Christmas presents that must be completed before we travel to P.G. next week.


2. Household tasks that must be completed before we travel to P.G. next week. This list is bigger than normal because we have friends (whom we've never met) from our church staying at our house when we're gone.


3. Miscellaneous tasks to complete before leaving town (job application, GST payment, filing, write lesson plan for teaching grade sevens how to write a communication plan)


4. List for houseguests of where to find things and numbers to call if anything floods or blows up while we're away.


5. Repeat of (3) for tenant.


6. What we each need in P.G. (3 lists)


7. What we need to take in the car for trip.


8. Groceries we need for this weekend, with brother & sister-in-law as houseguests.


9. Baking we'll do Saturday, and corresponding ingredients needed.


10. Decorations and food to take to Sunday Christmas party for my church's ESL class.


11. Christmas presents, and corresponding supplies, that we can finish in P.G.


12. People we have to get in touch with in P.G. to arrange visits (including my brother, Mike re: karaoke!!!).


13. Things I should be doing (instead of posting this entry) before guests arrive in one hour.

One list, one item at a time. Off to deal with grapevine and pinecones.
