Vacation: Part One
One of the great perks of our jobs here on the morning show is that we do have a lot of vacation time. We are lucky enough to have a couple of weeks to hang at home, and if you want to get away, there's usually more time to do that as well.
At noon today, my 'hanging around town' vacation begins. A little baseball, some swimming, walking, a lot of SLEEP,and one giant highlight to the week. I just found out that next week (9 -14th) it's Mr. Rogers Days at Idewild Park!!! Is there anything better than taking your 11 month old to be terrorized by a 6 foot Purple Panda or talking Platypus?!?!?! I think not...
Hi, My name's Kate, and I'm addicted to lists...
This is a tough one for me. I'm going to go LIST FREE on my vacation. It will be a first. I've always been a list person. I list everything. Things I need to do at work. Things I need to do at home. Things I want to do. Groceries to buy. People to invite. Gifts to purchase. Things to do on vacation. Things to pack on vacation. Goals for the month & year. Life's goals. Yes, it's bad. Before I had our son, I used to be able to keep the lists in my head. That space is now occupied by formula powder to water ratios, the lyrics to Wiggles songs, and games that boost infant hand/eye coordination. So I now physically MAKE THE LISTS. They are everywhere. The car, desk, bathroom, nursery, on or in my wallet. I must free myself from the lists and I will make a Lohan like clean break from the lists while on this vacation.
Starting another topic on this blog is kind of like making a list...so I'm outta here. Have a great week and talk to you on the 16th!

OMG Kate!!!! If I went list"less" nothing would ever get done!!!!! I am seriously one of those people that if I didn't have my head attached it would be dangerous. Now, I don't need a list for everyday but if something is going on, or something pops into my head if I don't write it down, I can guarantee it is GONE. How did you sleep with out the list?

An update for you. Life without the list was chaotic. It's bad when your husband is giving you reminders all week. I'm back 'on the list'----a slave to paper and pen, but organized and happy!
