"Add it to the list!" is a real-time list that began when my friend Katie moved to North Carolina. As avid list makers it seemed like the only option to keep everything we needed to catch up on in one easy to reference place (sticky notes).
And so it began... we use the list for everything and there is no set order. Which is an oxymoron because aren't list makers super, over-the-top compulsive control freaks who can be easily distracted like a cat to a laser pointer.
We add items or issues to discuss as we go along. If the lack of time to talk is a factor we will call and email each other with just a simple subject title "Item for the List". Here are some of the most recent items: use of a semi-colon, use of the three dots (please see above) or ellipses that have been completely over used, greatest find yet at Goodwill, best new book I have read or am reading, what we should or should not do about the IRS, social injustice, what direction is our country leaning, global issues, I love Facebook, I hate Facebook, and of course my favorite what is JK doing?
Then when we have time to talk on the phone we just refer to the list and talk through as many items and add more until one of us has to the eat, use the bathroom or until we kill one of our phones by means of letting the battery die a slow painful death.
So this is my virtual list!

1. "To Enjoy or Not to Enjoy?" that is entirely up to you.
2. "Agree to Disagree" completely respectful.
3. To join the excessive frivolity where we all find it appropriate is completely welcomed.
4. Nasty comments will be begrudgingly ignored as I endure to maintain my self-respect.
