It's a shame ...Thanks for stopping by my blog!<br /><br />It's a shame that this one was so boring that you had to DNF it. I don't make physical lists very often because I find that I don't tend to stick to whatever is on it. It also stresses me out, especially when I see all the things I have to do and usually haven't bothered doing. Mental lists on the other hand keep me organized.
