Top Ten Ways To Be The Biggest Nerd EVER

10. Alphabetize your movies. (Of which there are close to 100)
9. Organize your closet by color-including your shoes.
8. Spend over an hour looking at your favorite website: www.allrecipes.com for (drumroll please) recipes.
7. Make your grocery list for November at the beginning of October.
6. Make your November budget (not the pinky-swore on one, but the preliminary copy) the second week of October.
5. Plan all your "holiday" meals (which includes Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas breakfast, Christmas dinner, and New Years) at the beginning of October. Above stated time spent looking at your favorite website is looking for holiday meal recipes and there is also significant time (over an hour) spent looking through all your cookbooks.
4. Feel warm and fuzzy inside when you make lists.
3. Explode (on the inside only, can't show it or would be made fun of) when plans change.
2. Feel completely GUILTY when your child's schedule is only 30 minutes late. This includes naptimes, lunchtimes, bedtimes, dinnertimes, etc.
1. Honestly, WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BEING A NERD? I'm basically the least-nerdy person I know and I would NEVER do any of these things, so don't ask me about becoming a NERD if that is your life's passion!

Well, we must all be in good company! My shoes are not color coordinated, but my clothes (and Reece's) are! And I don't understand how people DON'T alphabetize their movies. How can you find them if not?

I have a great breakfast casserole recipe, and a great bran muffin recipe. Don't be scared of the bran - they are delicious and our traditional Christmas morning breakfast!

I'm so with you on the schedule thing. I freak out when Reece's is off.

Lists make me happy, too!
Last Thanksgiving was my first time hosting and cooking, so I have some recipes if you need any inspiration :)

The world needs a few nerds or we would have total chaos! From one who possibly/probably/maybe was/is one too!
