Everybody seems to be telling me that making lists will solve all my problems. My realtor especially. She’s a HUGE fan of lists. I am too, really, truly I am, but it doesn’t seem to be helping. But I’ll try again - A list - Why I am special.
1. I am special because I am organized enough to get my car inspected in March when it isn’t due until April. Unfortunately, I don’t get around to actually registering my car in May, and at that point the inspection is expired and I get to do it again. Ah, me.
2. I am special because when I hang up my cell phone and I am angry, I throw it on the driveway. When the cell phone bounces, I am ticked at it, and so I pick it up and throw it again, until it breaks into pieces. My cell phone still works. My special, special phone.
3. I am special because I burst into tears at the sight of fancy grapefruit juice. My husband bought it because he knows I like it, even though he calls the stuff ‘pure acid’ and my kids won’t touch it with a ten foot pole. More for me, baby.
4. I am special because I can’t comment on any blogger blogs anymore for some cosmic reason. I’m sure the universe is telling me to stop blogging. I can’t create a google account, and my old blogger account doesn’t seem to work anymore. So if you have a blogger blog, I’m sorry, I just can’t be your commenting buddy anymore. I’m too special.




I am special because I can get things done with the smallest amount of effort. Why unload the dishwasher? Just pull out the dishes when you need them! Why fold laundry? You can find it all in the dryer! Why blow your hair dry? Shower at night and sleep with it wet. When you wake up - Wa-La! Dry hair!
I’m special because I’m married, a mom with two children, and my best friend is still single and teaches high-school. Not many people get to keep their friends when their lives are so different!
I’m special because I’m really good at finding time to stamp and scrapbook, but am too busy to scrub the toilet.

I too hang up my cell phone by chucking it across the room. Especially after phone calls from my mom.
Grapefruit juice is the nectar of the Gods… and I might cry right now if some appeared in my fridge, too.
I’m special because I don’t live anywhere. I can blog, but I don’t have a home… or I have two homes… I can’t really recall amid all these boxes… somewhere I have a life.
I think…
Comment #2 by Tracy MMay 25th, 2007 at 1:36 amI’m special because when I get an idea into my head I move with it even if it’s not what would be best, like trying to make something happen that won’t…
We are all special, aren’t we?
