Grocery Lists, To Do Lists, Men List...

I've been reading this quick read by Alexander McCall Smith and I've found some noteworthy quotations.

Some of you might remember this post. While I was not the one to create my "list of potentials" it seems there are others who support the notion.

"This is a good number to choose from," said Mma Romtswe. "Not too large a list of men, but not too small."

Mma Holonga looked at Mma Romtswe uncertainly. "You do not think it strange to have a list, Mma? Some of my friends..."

"I'm not sure if you should worry too much about what your friends think, Mma," she said. "I think that it is a good idea to have a list. What is the difference between a list of things to buy at a shop, or a list of things to do, and a list of men? I do not see the difference."

and later...

"There would be something to worry about with each of them, she thought pessimistically, but then she corrected herself, reminding herself that it was no use giving up on a case before one even started."

Please be aware, I do not have a list. Come on, people. Though, I know people that make lists for every aspect of their lives (hint --- I'm related to them, of course). However, I agree that the matter of finding a husband seems to be a pragmatic one and one that could be simplified down to making a list. I also (of course, you all know this) tend to be pretty pessimistic when it comes to finding a match with whom you can't find something overtly annoying about (I love that "match" has now become a part of my vocab since I've been on the site). However, maybe I'm wrong and love, falling in love, and accepting people as they are is really possible.

I guess I could always just have a friend do the following for me, which just seems so incredibly weird, but whatever. I heard about some people who bought a billboard along I-15 in Utah to put up their sibling's picture to advertise him as being available.

Oh, I'm so sick of this post. An annoying topic. I know!
