10 Things I'd Rather Do Than Chores - Listable Life

Nicole,
just launched a Listable Life meme

And because, I clearly blog too much
(not so much)
and I really want to share more than just snippets of my life
(and diy and hoarding collecting),
here we go.


Week 1 Listable Life:
10 Things I'd rather do instead of chores.

* Listen to filthy music on Pandora.
     Southern Boys Radio is my fave station right now. Country Sh*t gets the most airtime. Southern rap.
     Outkast, Lil Wayne, Luda, Rhi Rhi, Beyonce, Jay Z...and then the real hard stuff...

* Watch filthy girls on Bravo.     @NeneLeeks from Real Housewives of Atlanta is my girl.  She's trying my patience.
     Waiting impatiently for my Gretchen fix on Season 7 of Real Housewives of Orange County.

     Those are the only two I watch. Honestly...
* Feed off of Feedler (or my BlogRoll)
     I need a better iPhone app for blog reading.  As it stands, I am a star spangled fool on Feedler.

* Read. Paper books (hard and paper back, but rarely ebooks).
     I just did this post on the 52 I'm reading in 2012. My Pinterest Book Board  has +some more.

* Get lost on the Frontier(ville)
      I'm FollowingB on Facebook when I'm not managing my B3HDtheBLOG page.
      I might spend a little bit too much time building up an awesome frontier (or city or...)

* Obsess over my blog stats (I'm a number geek, I can't lie)
     Seriously.  I have a spreadsheet, with goals, and rewards.  All it needs are pivot tables.

* Get Thrifty with it
     I know the colors coded sale calendar by heart. You know what I'm talking about.
     Salvation Army is good but @SeattleGoodwill is my first, current and likely only true love.
     Well, and St. Vincent de Paul...

* Sim(ulate)
     It has been a while, but if I REALLY needed an aversion, I'd reboot SimCity4 or The Sims.
     To be fair, I almost wanted to be a city planner because I got to play SimCity (the original) in school.
     And also, I wanted to be an explorer/pioneer because I also played the Oregon Trail in school.
     They called at that computer playing "gifted" programming.  Hey, I got into Cornell (and graduated).

* Turn on the Grow Lights
     My Granny (bless her soul) was a resourceful southerner who grew stuff.  That's what she left me.
     Even in the dead of winter, I grow stuff.  In season, yes, I grow peas
     No, You won't catch me growing watermelon.

* Intervene with my Hoarded stash of Kiddie Sparkles
     Some folks might say I watch too much TV. 
     But when you cut out the 14 minutes of commercials in an average 1 hour show with a Tivo...

     I limit my consumption to the good stuff - Intervention, Hoarders and Toddlers & Tiaras.
     Don't you judge me. You know Mackenzie is your faves too! You can like her on Facebook!

You know, sometimes, I actually just prefer to do my chores (smile).
How about you?
