Big fat Sharpie

This past week I managed to actually scratch a handful of things off of my list and I got all excited. I changed my g-chat status to big fat sharpie. There is nothing more satisfying than the physical motion of scratching something off of a hand written to-do list, which I usually write in smaller sharpie and scratch out in bigger sharpie.

My co-worker saw this without knowing the context IMed me this message:

c c ro: I don't know what your status means, but I think it would make either a great: A) band name, B) blog name, or C) bar name
c c ro: sharpies would be provided at the latter and customers would be allowed to write on all surfaces

When I first created this blog, I had this grand idea of every post being some huge before and after reveal of the multitude of tasks and projects I try to tackle. Coincidentally, the initials of the blog name are *a.d.d., so of course it wasn't before long when I thought I could handle two blogs AND I already had a name for it.

For now I'll stick with the one and forgo my original format idea. Soon I'm sure I'll be wrapping up some of these long time projects and the befores and afters will be aplenty... or something. Until then you get to listen to me consistently complain about how much stuff I have to do.

*Edit: I've since changed from "Already Done Different" to Big Fat Sharpie. Like you care.

I LOVE scratching things off to-do lists. Very satisfying - and a visual affirmation of one's accomplishments. It's part of why I still print out my calendar.
