I am a compulsive list maker!

I was listening to one of my podcasts this week and they had an interview with a gal (Hillary Carlip) who has been saving lists since she was a kid. Now mind you, she is saving found lists. She is a performance artists and wrote a book about these lists and ever reenacts what she thinks the list-makers look and act like.
There is a little movie about it, its very interesting. Her book is A la Cart: The Secret Lives of Grocery Shopppers .... here's a little movie about it. Look at the cover of the book....it's a hoot
Well on another note I want to apologize for being such a crappy blogger...just needed some veg/chillaxing time this week. I'll try to be better.

Ciao for now!

Is that what we call it... "being a crappy blogger"..lol I am guilty too. We just can't quite do it all can we?

I think I have heard about this woman who collects those lists...very interesting.

Now that sounds fun. You find some really interesting stuff. Me? Evidently I live under a rock. Oh well, I'm back in bloggy land for a bit, always come here for the quirky stuff!

If you're a crappy blogger, I don't know what you'd call me!! Don't feel bad - this is your blog and you call the shots, which means if you need some time to chill, you can take it! Glad you're back!!

Jayne there's only so many hours in the day. Can't do everything. Gotta pay for that internet connection too right? Hmm collecting other people's lists, sounds kinda interesting actually.

I'm a crappy blogger, too!
And it's going to continue until after the holiday :0)

Anyway, I'm a list maker, too.
Only way I can remember ANYTHING right now!
