I promise to not tell lies in the titles of my posts, but sometimes one might find them there for an added sense of irony.
In general, one of my strengths is organizing. Whether in the form of activism, hosting social functions, or listmaking, I not only organize well, I get quite a bit of pleasure out of it (a pleasure I know many women share with me...to cross something off a list is wonderful). However, the planning that goes into successfully getting on a plane to Ecuador this Sunday, and subsequently surviving/enjoying my nine months there has grown old. The only way to push on through is to do things one bit at a time. Most of you know this by now, the one-thing-at-a-time nugget of wisdom. It works.
Basically I look forward to a few weeks from now when I can get over the whole moving to another continent and can return to my super-organizing skills that bring me joy rather than grief. Maybe I will post photos of every single list I make, in their stages of crossed off succession. Another lie. I would never do that to you. The pictures will be thrilling.
