11:21 p.m.

how many of you use them?

i do. often. almost every day. i try not to use them for random notes but find that i'm doing it more. if i don't, i'll forget something. (or some things)

i've been keeping to do-lists for a long time. maybe 20 years. i do have them going back to the 80s. that's a lotta paper to be clogging up muh crib, i know. but it's an obsession i have, being able to look back in time to see what i did on a particular day.

that's also why i have journals going back to grade school. really and truly. i was journaling before oprah made it famous. (that's not a crack on my sista. just a fact.)

i wish my daughter shared this interest but she didn't inherit the writer gene. she's the other kind of artist. she likes to dance, sing, act, draw... i love to dance and sing too but writing is muh fust luv.

uh-ohhhhhhhhhhhh. gotta go to bed. i have to get up roundabout 5:30 in the a.m. and it's almost 11:30 in the p.m.

a sista cain't drive while sleep deprived.

who am i kidding? i've been subsisting on sleep deprivation for too many years to count. i expect to drop from over-exhaustion at any moment.

yeah right. i've been wishing that very thing would happen since i can remember. hoping it would earn me a solo vacation.

hahaha.

the universe is a trickster! it ain't happened yet.
