Okay, people. In the interest of documenting my life, here’s something funny (to my husband and I, at least): The List. Or should I say #thelist and make it happen just as successfully as Gretchen Weiners made fetch happen…
Anyway. Recently, my husband found this old list written on the back of an ATM receipt dated January 19, 2011, so it’s more than four years old now (look at me, doing first grade math!). Without further comment, here is #thelist:

Welcome to my personal blog—a place where I’ll be writing about all of the random stuff in my life that has no place being on my orchid blog, Brooklyn Orchids. In addition to being obsessed with orchids, I am also a bit of a beauty product addict.* I knit, I cross-stitch, I read, watch tons of tv shows, I’m a crazy cat lady, I love traveling, and above all, I love geeking out about and documenting every little thing in my life.
