Monday Listicles

By Stasha | Published July 8, 2012

Due to summer days and vacation mood I am going to be short and sweet. You are welcome.

Last week was a blast. I had a great time reading your answers. Surprisingly lots of us have a key on our keychain that we have no idea what it opens. And most of you store wrapping paper under the bed. Also Girl with curl reminded us what the answer to life, the universe, and everything. It’s 42. (I knew there was another The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy mad fan out there!!)

This listicle was suggested by Deborah and inspired by Nora Ephron’s list THINGS SHE WILL MISS AND WHAT SHE WON’T. Feel free to give it your own twist and have fun with it. I promise you this is just a hypothetical list! Thank you Mannahatta Mamma for a great idea.

Next week let us make a list 10 THANKS. Cannot wait to see where this takes you!

But now, 10 things you would and would not miss if the end came today.

 
Make a list, check it twice, link it up. Read others. Have fun!

 

 

10 Things I would miss if I die today

 

1. My son’s smile

    The wind. That’s a great one. I would miss it…but I HATE it in my face on a long bike ride. The wind is truly wonderful when you think about it. I just usually hate it on bike rides.

    Whining mosquitoes in the heat are the worst.

    Your things you would miss gave me a little lump in my throat. Luckily, chocolate should soothe that. :) Ellen

      Word!! I googled recently and discovered that if mosquitoes were extinct the whole water eco system would collapse and ultimately the world would come to an end. Too bad…

    Word verification is really beginning to get on my nerves. What’s worse is word verification coupled with comment approval.

    Really?

    I had an idea or two for Monday Listicles– just in case your idea box actually gets low one day…

    How about 10 things you wish the fairy godmothers gifted you with at birth? Or ten experiences everyone should have by age 30? Fun, Fun! Thanks for doing this– I’m learning to love Mondays. =)
