Borrowing an idea from the Ephron book, I am submitting two lists -- things I know I will miss when I'm gone, and things I never shall. Though hardly conclusive, the only changes would be additions...
I hope everyone is doing well. At this rate I think AR should change its initials to AK, as we are all sick of the weather, which threatens to continue today and then again on Wednesday, getting down to 4...yikes...have had to make many cancellations and adjustments the past two weeks...we are all over this 'winter wonderland.' Maybe not school kids -- I remember how exciting snow days were...

I love that you listed "finishing exercising". Always the best part. :)
What a fun idea!
Yes, they could go on and on.
Good Lists..
Shawn
It's only fitting that CATS are at the top of the "will miss" list. Thanks for popping by my blog today!
I laughed at a few from your list.
Wouldn't it be nice to have peoples lists recorded on the back of funeral sheets. be a fun read while waiting for such a sad event to start.
Love Leanne
who will not miss bras too - especially fitings
Is it wrong to admit I like reality shows?
I'm so glad I found your blog, it's so touching. And thank you for leaving a comment on mine, which BTW, E.T. is on my 101 best movies list. Scroll through my postings and you'll see a couple more lists. I have soo many more to post but I am currently taking care of my third child of eight years, my beautiful baby boy Cosmo, a grey and white short hair, who has just been diagnosed with a terminal disease, so I don't have time for much else.
I LOVE your lists but you forgot Rush Limbaugh, blah!
I'm with you on most everything--especially the ticks, chiggers and long fingernails on men! Actually, how about long toenails on ANYONE! lol
Your first list made me cry. The second one made me laugh.
Liked the things you would miss, 100% agree on the things you won't miss.
I'm still a snow lover though, sorry.
Amen to the bra! I WILL NOT miss that one. And I am sooooo with you on oh sooo many of your miss list, especially fresh sheets and sex!
:)
Oh how this made me laugh this morning.
I thank you.
"asparagus pee" will someone actually miss that one?
I agree with it all but the whole cat thing. sorry 'bout that.
I think you pretty much covered EVERYTHING on both lists. ;-) mmmm Margaritas, I want one. Hospitals are only good when you get to come home.
