List, List, O List

In honor of my friend Jessica, here are some random lists...


Some odd flashback songs I've heard in the past 24 hours:

• Say Say Say by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson
• When Love Breaks Down by Prefab Sprout
• Jealous by Gene Loves Jezebel
• Candy by Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson (of The B-52s)
• Lost in Your Eyes by Debbie Gibson

Plays by Shakespeare I realized this week that I really ought to read:

• A Winter's Tale
• Two Gentlemen of Verona
• Merchant of Venice
• All's Well that Ends Well
• Cymbeline

Somethings I'd really love to accomplish this month:

• Rip the sliding shower door out of the kids' bathroom (I got the go ahead from Cam!)
• Get the ball rolling on decorating the boys' room (other than buying those cute tin signs at Scrapbook USA)
• Make our bathroom more cosy/homey
• Organize our closet
• Organize our mud 'closet' for the upcoming winter

A short list of some favorite poems

• God is No Gentleman by Carl Sandburg
• To L L by Oscar Wilde
• The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver by Edna St. Vincent Millay
• The Goblin-Market by Christina Rossetti
• Birches by Robert Frost

Some good thoughts dwelt on in the past week:

• I am feeling settled here in our new place and feel like we belong...just this week.
• When you are with your children, be with your children.
• Babies are little pieces of heaven
• The Lord knows when its time
• My kids amaze me
