My to-do list for today had 13 items on it. I just added 'update blog' so that I could have something to cross off and feel like I'm getting somewhere. (Admit it. You've done it too.)
Finish filing taxes is item one on the now-14-long list. But since I'm a silver lining kind of person, I'd like to point out that these tax forms are in English. The real suffering comes in a few months when I file in France.
Silver lining numéro deux is that there is springtime sun coming in the window as I sit here and labor through the tax forms. I'm sure the grandgarden is thankful for that. As of yesterday evening I had lost only one seedling - a red lettuce. The other 11 lettuces, 12 spinaches, 3 parsleys, 1 mint and 1 rosemary seem to have survived The Great Transplanting of 2009. I did a little research and am pretty sure that the lettuces are laitue batavia (French crisp leaf), feuille de chêne rouge and feuille de chêne vert (red and green oak leaf).
These did not grow in the grandgarden, but I liked this photo of the flower shop at Bellecour in the evening.
Update blog. Ahh...that feels better.

If I really want to feel productive, I also put "check email" and "check Facebook" on my to do list. Then I can mark off THREE things and feel like I'm on a roll.
I feel ya', sister. I also put 'breathe' on my list. Hm, that is kind of sad.
Yep, I've done it! :-)
oh yes, i'm a big fan of striking off things. i do the most useless ones on my blog ALL the time!
i'm glad i don't have to deal with paying taxes... yet. good luck with that!
Are you doing you taxes yourself, or do you use a local attorney? This is the first year I have to do American taxes from France, and I have no idea how to file them :-/
My lists sometimes get so bad,I have sarcasticly (is that a word) written and crossed off "go to bathroom by myself"
Argh!!!! Taxes! Thankfully, that's Mark's domain. It just doesn't seem important at a time like this. I'm sure the IRS wouldn't mind if we just skipped a year... Alas, wishful thinking...
Why is it the only things constant in life are death and taxes. I wish it was death to taxes. Good luck.
I feel your pain too. I also make lists and add stuff that came up unexpectedly just so I can feel that sense of accomplishment. From whom did you get that little quirk?
