Can I just say ONE MORE TIME how frighteningly alike we are?! We've always known it's true, but never have I had it confirmed more definitely than reading your 'crossing things off a list' comment. I sometimes make nonsense lists just so I can cross things off and FEEL like I've accomplished things, no matter how trivial! ('nap' is one of the things on my list today, and I can't wait to be able to cross that one off)
Do you ever get the feeling it's a really good thing we never lived together, that we're much better friends from a distance? We'd simultaneously love and kill each other! :-)

Your Fellow Type A Personality
I love that you put TRADER JOES under things that make you happy! LOL...your a silly little pickle
Katie! Dude, how did I miss this? I loved reading your list! Some of them made me smile, some of them were so you, and some of them I never saw coming. Loved it!! I think I will make one of my own. What a beautiful idea!
