And I'm a crab. Or rather a cancer, but I identify. They are strange and a little scary, crabs... what with the sideways motion and pinchy bits, but I think they are just misunderstood.
The zodiac gives two crabby metaphors that seem very fitting: 1) they are crusty on the outside, but very soft inside... true. and 2) a crab will lose its arm clinging to a rock--it is that determined. But if it in fact DOES lose the arm, it is the rare creature that can grow a new one. Those things are fitting for cancers...

What? I did X-files and Xenophile in past years, I gotta go somewhere...
But I DO love lists... and what I love about lists is they make me feel productive... you know how I feel productive? By X-ing things off the damn list!?
Today I only have two things on my list and I'm working on one of them right now.
ReplyDeleteI like days like this!
Good job with X! (My daughter has hermit crabs, and we're forever marveling over her adoration to them. But I think you're right--we just don't understand the crusty appeal of the crustacean.)
ReplyDeleteI always have a list of things to do. Feels great to cross items off. Funny, if I do something major that's not on the list, I'll write it down and then cross it off. LOL
ReplyDeletePrioritizing is so important. I know that from hardly ever doing it! Don't forget Xena! Hey, it's a guy thing. :-)
ReplyDeleteI used to hate lists. I used to make a point of not thinking horizontally. Lists help now as I grow old. And I do love crossing things off.
ReplyDeleteI've elevated this to my favorite "X" post ever. Let's not kid ourselves. Lists aren't about organization or prioritizing. They're all about the satisfaction of X-ing it off. Yes! Feels so good!

I love my lists -- they keep me almost sane. And oh yes, x-ing off lines on my lists feel so good.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a crab with such a gorgeous shell. Kinda art nouvea style.
