Realizations and To - Do List

I like to think, but sometimes I feel like I do it too much. I have definitely felt that thinking too much about something(s) paralyzes me. I have seen it paralyze others. I wish I could be a constant list maker. Every time I get in a funk and too much seems to be crowding my mind, the perfect solution seems to be to make a to-do list and tackle it's contents one at a time. When I make the list, things tend to get done in a more timely manner and my thoughts seem less suffocated by procrastination. So tell me then, how come I can't do this every time? Why do I come across the same vicious cycle? It's because I'm a creature of habit and apparently it takes years to form a habit, whether it be good or bad.

You know how random thoughts pop into your mind about something you either should do or want to do and you say to yourself, "I should do such and such thing" or "I want to learn how to..."

Well, here it is my to-do list as of late. In no particular order.

~Buy a spice rack. My word I would love a spice rack!
~Start cutting out the pattern for baby girl's bedding.
~ Sew said bedding.
~Call lots of people that I miss and get the down low on their happenings.
~Document this pregnancy better.
~Get a hair cut. I need a trim really bad.
~Become an avid couponer. Ok so couponer isn't a real word, but I'm making it one.
~Decide on which dress I want to wear for Krissy's wedding. I've narrowed it down to two...
~Write to a couple of missionaries. I promised I would write and it's been 3 months since I sent the last letter. Some friend I am!
~Have a better attitude about my calling.
~Get my Utah License and Identification with my new last name.
~Get the contract on our Condo sold. We need to move, not want, but need. We signed the contract believing that we could handle the costs, but have hit some snags from the time we signed to now and need to live somewhere cheaper. That's what we get for not being more pray-full about it. After the first couple of days living here, I knew we had made a mistake. You live you learn, I guess.
~Take back a Sewers Kit I bought from Joann's that was ridiculously over priced. I bought it for 15 bucks and then less than a week later saw the same exact kit at Wal-Mart for 6.50. I was mad at Joann's for ripping me off. It would be one thing if it was a dollar or two, but that's an $8.50 difference!
~Take more pictures.
~Practice the piano.
~Finish the Two books I borrowed from a friend.
~Get a Pre-natal massage. I've already had shoulder problems, being pregnant does not help.


I'm sure there's lots more, but this is what came to me. Funny how life seems to be full of so much to do when you think there isn't anything to do. Oh wait, I found one more to add to this list.

~Find the energy to do all of the above.
