Lists...

Lots of blogs have lists…lists of just about anything. I make lists. I like lists. Doyle does not like my lists, but I do. So, I thought I would start one for me (Stacie) on the blog. Just things to do. I won’t call it my bucket list, it's just a list of stuff...a list in no particular order…just ramblings. Of course, I want to share many of these things with my husband and kids, but this is about me…they can make their own lists! I am sure this will be fun to look at later. This is my list for today. Tomorrow it might change!
