“Just what is an Everyday List?”

It’s a little hard to explain exactly what an everyday list is but once you “get it” you’re gonna love this site and wonder how you ever got along without it.

An everyday list is one of those small lists you make to help you get through the day or remember something important to you. The most popular is the grocery list. But other examples include party lists, vacation lists and many more.

But with Everyday Lists we will go beyond the simple lists — way beyond. You will soon find forms and record keeping books. Forms for moving and studying, business and pleasure and more. Record keeping books include restaurants, beers, barbeque sauces (from our friends at The Weekend Grillers), travel and many more.

In the future we hope to include many forms requested by readers.

“But just why do I need Everyday Lists (the website)”

Because, again, we’ve gone beyond the simple lists — way beyond. You will find lists here for everything from Hot Sauces to Record Albums. From Moving Boxes to Books You’ve Read. We’ve got list here (or on the way) for so many parts of your life you’ll wonder how you ever got along without them (and us!). We’ve got lists you didn’t even know you needed.

All the forms are FREE and in easily downloadable and printable PDF format. Download any form you want and print it out or save it to a disc or thumbdrive and take it Kinko’s and have them do it for you.

I know all this sounds very strange and a bit unusual — but just give us a chance and look around a bit. We think you’ll get the picture and fall in love with Everyday Lists and the time they will save you and enjoyment they will give you.

People who love good food (you know who you are) are gonna love this first one --

List #1 - EVERYDAY GROCERY LIST

Let’s get this started with the most universal of all lists - the Grocery List. It’s quite possible that every person in the world has made one of these at least once in their life.

We make them on notepads, post-it notes, backs of envelopes and anything else we can find. Not anymore.

With the Everyday Grocery List you can see at a glance exactly what you need and never forget something important again.

The list is arranged in alphabetical order (for the most part) and is very comprehensive. We have tried to include everything that you go to the grocery for on an everyday basis. However, if we have forgotten anything, please let us know. We’ll fix it immediately.

Download the Everyday Grocery List, print some out and tack one to the Refrigerator. Keep adding to it as you see something you need and then take it to the grocery.

One last thing — do us a favor and leave all your lists in the baskets as you finish. Let the next person know about Everyday List so they too can enjoy the convenience and fun.

Go to Everyday Lists now and check it out. Download the Grocery List and leave us a comment. Request a list or form if you like.

If you're a fan of travel you probably have several lists, forms and record books you use on a regular basis. Let us know about them.

Book Place 22 - 32 London

I have made it to London and I am presented with a new problem for my blogging. In the book 1000 Places to See Before You Die, London is one entry -- but it has numerous entries include within. It looks like she has started with a Top Ten Sights, goes on to Other Must Do's, includes Where to Stay and Finishes with Where to Eat.

Quick Look -- I see she has done other major cities this way, too. Paris, New York, Venice (Venice?)

I have several questions about this -- none of which matter a hill of beans but I wonder nonetheless.

• Are all of the entries included in the 1000 places?


• ...Or it is just the Top Ten that I must do?


• ...Or is London (and the other cities) just one entry? (Been there -- Check. Nahh, can't see it that way.)

As I said, none of this really matters -- when I make it to London or New York or Venice (Venice?) I am going to try and do all the good and fun things that I can, anyway, whether it's on the list or not.

With that in mind let's number EACH one. After all you can make a case for all of them.

• The Top Ten Sights are -- well, the Top Ten.
  
• The Other Must Do's -- There must be more than ten great things to do in London, New York or Venice (Venice??)
  
• The Hotels and Restaurants? Well she has included plenty of other hotels and restaurants so far so they must deserve inclusion, right.

It's funny, I won't know for several weeks or even months whether this is the "correct" stategy to arrive at the magic 1000 number or not (since I am NOT going to count ahead), provided, of cource, that Patricia Schultz doesn't write in. But in the end, I really don't think it will matter.

(VENICE???)

Now the Numbers:

Place #22 - London (page #20) - I'm going to include the city itself here because just seeing London has got to be a marvel.

Place #23 - The British Museum (page #20) (Official Site)

Place #24 - Buckingham Palace (page #21) (Official Site of the British Monarchy. Admit it: You didn't know they had an official website, did you? Go look -- That's what it says!)

To the right is a picture of Buckingham Palace. Help me out here -- I believe, though I could be wrong -- I believe that is the courtyard where Homer Simpson ran into the freakin' Queen! Am I right?

Place #25 - Hampton Court (page #21)

Place #26 - Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens (page #21 and in the photo of the famous maze at the left)

Place #27 - National Gallery (page #21) (Official Site - This one is REALLY COOL)

Place #28 - St. Paul's Cathedral (page #21) (Official Site)

Place #29 - Tate Gallery (page #21) (Official Site)

Place #30 - Tower of London (page #21)

Place #31 - Victoria & Albert Museum (page #21) (Official Site)

Place #32 - Westminster Abbey (page #21) - Who else has the Roger "King of the Road" Miller song "England Swings" going through her head for two days everytime she hears "Westminster Abbey"?

Is it just me?

Okay, that's the Top Ten. We'll start with the Other Must Do's next post.
