Jazzi McG's 'Confessions of an Intern' Notebook

I have been making lists for years. When I have a lot on my plate I always find it calming to stop everything, find a pen and paper and jot down everything I have running through my mind. Lately though my lists have departed from the norm; groceries, household chore, things to purchase on my next shopping spree, and have moved into more serious territory.

Things I am looking for in a man:
A man who buys me flowers
A man who will read in bed with me
A man who is willing to love and be loved
A man who’s not afraid to laugh out loud, or cry
A man who is okay with sharing: thoughts, dreams, goals and clothes!

Things I want to accomplish before the end of the summer:
Go to some estate sales for jewelry, art and furniture
Buy new paints and all together update my art bin
Spend a day reading in the park
Design the outline for my book and begin writing
Lose the last remaining pounds stopping me from fitting into my uber skinny shorts

I think lists are just fun reminders of things we want, what we are thinking about and what we should strive for. And really, what’s the harm in jotting it all down? If I end up not being able to cross everything off the list I can just make a new one and set a new deadline — the only pressure is the pressure you put on yourself
