Things I never get enough of

I don't know why but I am a list maker. I have a habit of just making lists in my head! It's sometimes so dang annoying. But, ALL MORNING, I have been calculating this list in my head and I have to get it out or I will continue thinking about it!!

Things I never get enough of:

1. sleep. never. ever. ever. But it doesn't matter. Because even if I'm still tired, I wake up and I have to get up.
2. time. I want to do EVERYTHING. I have a zillion interests and I want to do them ALL. But, even if I were retired, I wouldn't be able to because I only have 24 hours in a day. Why can't people like me just have 36 hours in a day???
3. money. I wanted to buy so many things this past weekend but my husband kept taunting me with that blasted question... is it in the budget?? I hate the "B" word.
4. chocolate. I have to stop myself because it's just a really bad thing to get more of. so, I never get enough.
5. coffee. okay. well, I added this to the list... but there are times when I get enough. probably too much. which might contribute to the reason I always have so many lists floating in my head and I don't get enough sleep.
6. God. really, really, really. there are times I wish I could be transported into heaven and just be so full of God that all the other things are washed out completely. I can't describe this feeling in words. you have to feel that way in order to understand.
7. my girls. when they get along. cuz I do get enough of them when they don't. that's actually too much. but, when it's good, I want it to never end. with all of them.
8. my man. I don't mean that in the way you're thinking so stop it right now! The longer we are married, I honestly think there is absolutely NO couple in this world as much in love as we are.
9. laughter. I want to laugh about even the things that people don't find funny. Most days I find something to laugh about. I have to.
10. jolly rancher jelly beans. okay I admit. I added this one only because I didn't want to end on 9 and I happen to have some on my desk that I have been eating all morning. and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to stop myself before I have had enough.

I have a book called "List Yourself" It's page after page of things to write lists about!! I love your list...actually, I'd agree with -- just about all of them. Just change girls to granddaughters and I'd just say "Amen" to your lists. (We're not related are we??? ROFL)

as a fellow lister, I am on board with all of your 'never enough' things except, well... you know, the number 5 thing that we are not going to talk about...

you know, to preserve our friendship and all.

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop. Secondly, ... have you SEEN me in the morning when I don't have it? Do you work beside me? No... you haven't...

Quick! Call an Ambulance!

I went on a bike ride with my 9 year old yesterday. Okay... I will wait a minute while you gain your composure. You don't have to be so loud about it. I had been promising her that we would go on a bike ride together for a few days. Why didn't I promise her a trip to Starbucks for a nice hot latte? So, we ditched a few responsibilities and went on a bike ride. But, I didn't have a bike. So, I was going to walk. She said I could borrow Abbie's bike. Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk...
