I love to make lists. I call them “My Peripheral Brain”.
Lists make order out of the hummingbird-like thoughts in my head.In preparation of a major holiday, lists are all over the place – lists of things to do, lists of things to pack, lists lists lists.
Here are some of things on my list of ‘things to pack” for our upcoming holiday.
The dimensions of our tables. Someone likes tablecloths and runners; if we happen to find something it is good to know if it would fit our furniture.
A charger for the ipods.
Several books – “The Pickwick Papers’, “the Essential Dali Lama”, “The Golden Compass”.
A backpack for our hiking outings. Better add a some binoculars too.
The address book. This is for the postcards for the people who would be miffed not to get a post card.
A deck of UNO cards.
“Hamburger Helper” for the boudoir (No, I won’t elaborate; my family reads this blog for Pete’s sake).
The recent issues of GAMES Magazine to do on the flights.
Talcum powder – I am returning to lands with humidity. Yucko.
And
“Proper” tea. The stuff on cruise ships is dreadful.
