hi barb--chaotically organized, that's a very nice way of putting it! you're probably too polite!! it was much worse before i got the new computer and had to move everything.
of course, with such a long list to do, i procrastinated and have spent over an hour organizing and straightening. typical. but maybe it takes that occasionally--uncluttering the mind along with the space. it seems to have worked, i've breezed through about half of the list already!
i'm with you...i don't know what i'd do without lists. my dad once teased me that he thought it was a shame there was no way to major in list-making when i was having trouble choosing a major. :-) i surely would have done so if i could have. i'd hate to think how disorganized i'd be without them!

[Image]every morning when i make my tea, i try to decide what kind of a day it will be and i choose my mug accordingly. is it a manila morning? a singapore morning? perhaps seattle? or vancouver? often it's a chicago morning, since i lived there for a couple of years, i have a soft spot for that mug. this morning, it felt like a london monday. or at least i want it to be a london monday. london is bustling with people who appear to have somewhere to be. it's extremely multicultural. it seems creative and vibrant if you look around you at the diversity of architecture. it's fairly humming with activity. people are getting things done, that's clear. on top of it, you can get an excellent curry. this is how i want my day (and my week for that matter) to go...i want to move with purpose from one task to the next, really getting things done, fairly plowing through my to do list:questionnaire for LNG World Shippingfinish up workshop articlehuman element forum planshuman element forum timelineemailsinvoicingrun errandspresents for Owen & Finnstart packing Sabin's suitcasedishesfinish laundryhang shelvestidy up bedroominvitations to summer partypost officerental carphotograph earringspost earrings on etsyplane tickets to oslo for next weekbusiness lunches (wednesday & thursday)so you can see, i need it to be not only a london monday, but a london week. i'd better start with a shower...

Hi Julie, I hope you didn't take offense to my remark, I just love how your tabletop looks ... like it is loved and used. My kind of room. Barb

Aren't lists just the most wonderful things EVER? If I made a list of wonderful things, I'd have to list lists. That's how wonderful they are.
