Hi Tubbies. Miss me? I know you did. I haven't been around much the last two weeks. I had some life stuff going on, you know, that quarter-life-kinda-faux-crisis and then that holiday we call Thanksgiving. But now I'm back, for the last few weeks of the tub. And something I've been doing a lot of recently is making lists. I love them. You see, I am someone with a very active and spastic brain, so I think of lots of cool stuff and then forget them quickly, so lists help me to remember things I want/need to remember. Secondly, I love the satisfaction of checking stuff off. Like, BAM! I got that done! I am awesome! In fact, I recently started a Life List, on which I've come up with all sorts of things I want to do in my life, like go to the opera or take a hip hop dance class. The going is a little slower than I thought, but hey, it's a start.
Lists are very important when the holidays roll around. There are lots of things to do, lots of presents to buy, lots of presents to ask for, etc. etc. So I will share with you today some of the lists I have going on.

Okay, so obviously this last list is lacking. But I seriously do not know what I want! Please help. And don't say a GPS system because I don't want that. Okay? I said I just don't want one.
yeah since you don't have your own car, a gps device would seem a bit odd as a gift for you....
also are chocolate covered pretzels cookies?
loves you.
