30 Days of Lists # 7

Chaos is a great word for what is in my bag. I have to purge it every other week so I can find what I need. I still can't find my Tinkerbell key chain! I love big purses and I have a plethora of totes and bags. Whenever I go anywhere I pack up my "stuff", so I will have everything I need to be creative, catch up, brush up, and be up. What's in your bag that you can't live without? For me it would be, unfortunately, my cell phone.

Day 5: Things I want to Accomplish this month...
I belong to a book club with amazing women. The last couple of months I have neglected to read the chosen book. Not that I didn't want to, I just wasn't motivated. One of the things on this list is to read, "The Paris Wife", by Janet Maslin.  a brief review...
     A deeply evocative story of ambition and betrayal, The Paris Wife captures a remarkable period of time—Paris in the twenties—and an extraordinary love affair between two unforgettable people: Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley.
     In Chicago in 1920, Hadley Richardson is a quiet twenty-eight-year-old who has all but given up on love and happiness—until she meets Ernest Hemingway and finds herself captivated by his good looks, intensity, and passionate desire to write....
     Pick up the book and read it with us. When you are done please leave me your thoughts on the book.
     One of my most favorite motivational authors is Dale Carnegie. I love the quote I chose for day 5. Download his books or pod cast and start believing in YOU!

Thirty days of lists # 4

Now you know that all of us do more than what I have listed here on day 4. For example: I must have walked 5+ miles around and in the hospital going from place to place. Ate oatmeal with raisons, walnuts and peaches. Turned on my work computer and looked at my To Do List at work. payed the bills that keep my 7 departments running. went to meetings. finished my Patient Safety Board for presentation next week. Went trolling at Pier 1 and Home Goods looking for beautiful tea cups. Drove home and had a salad with tomatoes and chicken flavored with lemon juice. talked to Gabbie on the phone. got caught up on Project Runway. Sat down to do page 4 of 30 days of lists. now I will hit the sack. LEt's see how many things you can list that you do on an average day!
