When your head explodes.

So the other day my head exploded.


KERBOOM !!!

It just exploded.
It was surprisingly less painful than one would expect.


One regaining my composure and innate sense of bonhomie, I made a list - oh and what a list it is. A finer list you have never seen, it is the king of all lists.
Other smaller, tidyer lists bow down before my supreme list and quake in their little listy boots at the length and breadth of my all-encompassing list.
My list is omnipotent.
Today the List said to Gocco, so Gocco I did.

All hail The List

the list is wise. I should listen to my list more often.

How is the head now? Any mess?

Did I beat Locket and Moog to first comment? Oh I hope so.....

Lucy Locket-Pocket said...

Aha! She may have been first but I trust that I am second!

Locketland bows down in awe at the list!

All hail the list!

Lucy Locket-Pocket said...

Ok, so this is Moogs' comment as she has been kicked off her computer by manky sick husband - I rang her to tell her to comment but she can't.

She says she still loves you but she'll have to comment later!

So this is her third comment by proxy!

Jackie said...

The list is good... always listen!

trashalou said...

No way! Yah-boo-sucks to 'proxy' commenting. Moog gets kicked to the bottom of the list.


Hoping the bandaids are holding your head to gether while The List works its magic!



word verif. is 'fists' and taht is what it will come to Locket!

Sharon said...

The List is God! I bow before thee!
What's that you've made? It doesn't look like there's mushroom inside!!!Ha Ha HA I'm the first with the VERY bad joke! Yippee!!

Nadine said...

List? List!?! L-I-S-T, what is this list thingy? Hmmm. Maybe I need one of those? Yes, maybe I do, before my head explodes...

Lovely work, Jodie, as always!

Catherine said...

How funny...I am a cronic list writer...I have a little note book with all my to-do things in it...I call it my brain...and if the notebook becomes missing...I am so lost!! Cathy
PS.. do I dare ask if my Zipper Mouth is on your list???

Chi said...

Hi Jodie,

I found your blog today (can't remember where from but it was a few clicks away from where i started!) and was sad to see after reading through your blog, that you didn't have anything for sale in your ETSY shop...

Will anything be coming soon? I saw a birdcage kit in a post a few months back that looked right up my alley. :)

trashalou said...

Keep going down the line Missus Moog - you are waaaaaaaaaaaay at the bottom!

Bloom said...

Perhaps you should post said list that we may all bow down?! Looking forward to the fruits of The Omnipotent One ... PS in case I've never said: I love your blog - you so make me laugh!

Lucy Locket-Pocket said...

Oh grow up Trash! Moogs proxy comment counts fine!

Lucy Locket-Pocket said...

Yeah Trashy, I agree with Lucy! Moogsmum x

Moogsmum said...

Oh my word - what have I started with my comment by proxy? Calm down girls. I'm here now, having kicked 'man-flu' man off the computer!!

Enough of that nonsense.

Hope your head is better Jodie. Did you have 'scrape brains off the walls' at the top of your list?

I'm a firm believer in lists. Really focuses the mind....especially if you actually look at them once you've written them....which I usually don't!!

Hope you get lots crossed off :-)

Louise said...

I wrote out my list the other day and MY head nearly exploded!! Nothing like scaring yourself into action! Hope your head is suitably arranged now and list working its magic!

rachel griffith said...

HAHAHA.
you always make me laugh.
thank you!!!

and in my best wayne & garth impression, as i'm bowing down...
"we're not worthy, we're not worthy!!!"

Kitty said...

I have such good intentions with lists. But invariable I lose the list. Which is probably why I lose the plot as well. *sigh*

Those are lovely goccos. x

Monkimom said...

The Wonder and Awe of the List.

Love the goccos, beyond precious.

Apryl said...

I like lists too.. the trouble is the little bastards run away and hide on me.. and won't come out no matter how many cakes I offer them...

love the goccos... very very jelous of the gocco printer... *wants*

Griffin said...

Listy boots? Where can I get some of those? I want listy boots... ideally before my head explodes.

I love the goccos... even if a certain Jaffa eating mummy got a terrible joke out of it... not mushroom inside...oh good grief! :)

You can fit a toad's stool in there, what more do ya want, eh?

Er, this Supreme List doesn't have, um, World Domination written on it by any chance? Only I had a list with that on and it was spelled Wold Domination, which just isn't the same.

Lavon said...

I know how it feels when the head explodes.

The list is fantastic. However my list is in hiding. That comes from have too many list and the main list becomes lost to all.

Ravenhill said...

It sounds painful, but likely productive! Can't wait to see the results. Love your shroom and elf!

After swimming for 5 weeks in a fog of school holiday bliss, my senses were awakened after a phone call from another school mum telling me all the things she had done to get ready for the school year, down to naming the socks! I realised in a dead panic that I had done NONE of those said things!As you could imagine A LIST was required. A list quietens my soul, a list sharpens the mind, a list focuses the energy... a list reminds you to get off your but and DO SOMETHING I find!!!
All hail the list.

Dionne said...

Oh, my poor little listy is quaking in her listy boots. But still the Gocco is good!

fi said...

ohhhhhhhhhhhh imagine if MY list and YOUR list meet and had babies?!then my head would really explode!

amandajean said...

good news on the head exploding bit. i fear mine is going to go any day now. :)

Kat said...

oh how we all love a good list. i just need to master obeying the list once it is written.

ladydi said...

The best thing about a LIST is that after you have it all written down you can ignore it and go do something else. (It's so liberating!)

Shari said...

Do we get to see the list?

Gillian aka Silly Gilly said...

Dear Crazy Selvedge Lady and Fi,
May I purleeeease adopt one of the baby lists that your lists have together?
I reckon I could do with a little of each of your crafty mojoness.

Jodie, hope you weren't in the kitchen on that nice clean floor when your head exploded.

Kelly O. said...

Your posts always crack me up!

Thimbleanna said...

Man, you're on one today Ms. RicRac! VERY funny -- we bow to your (and the list's) magnificence!

Katherine said...

Wise woman to listen to The List.

Thanks always for the smiles and inspiration your posts always give, Jodie. Hope you got the mess cleaned up from your head exploding. ;o)

sandra said...

One thing I love is a good list!! All hail the LIST.

Little Mysteries said...

Love the Gocco results, they are fantastic! Is this list a secret list?

Annie said...

OMG! The stress of going back to school is really getting to you! It's FANTASTIC. See you soon.

LiEr said...

First, lovely mushroom and gnome. Very attractive, if gnomes can be attractive, I mean. Then yes, lists are Superior. But a question: of what form are the lists you make? Are they the sort you cross out or the type you check off? I like checking mine off, particularly if they have little boxes to check off/colour in. I can get anything done on my list, even clean toilets, if they have small squares beside them to colour in! But the cross-off type...? I can't.

Jenny said...

A good long list is good therapy and when you cross things off it is even better-love your gocco goodies

Barbara Brown said...

sounds like the list i compiled the other day. it's for the drawers stuffed with started but not yet finished projects. oh how i love to start a fresh project. very cute little guy there.

peppermintpatcher said...

Nice list! I am immediately crossing 'ironing' off mine and adding something lots more fun!

Selvage Quilter said...

I am sensing a little confusion here that I would like to clear up. If the list is the type that contains "gotta-do's" like groceries, post office, dentist...then you have to scribble over the entry when it's done. However, if the list contains things to do for fun like: picnic with friends, listen to great music, work on quilt, this requires a nice check mark (in a little box if available). I think when your head explodes it's time to look at the fun list until things improve.

There you go! You're welcome.

PS - Jodie, you realize that you'll have to tell us about this list, right? I love it: not mushroom, ha ha ha.

Heleen said...

love the gocco goodies!! enough words about lists... I can't do without

laura said...

Hey, I nominated you for an award. Don't feel like you need to acknowlegde it though! I just like the things you do!

Leanne said...

Lists are great..I have just got to remember to follow the ones I make.

Nanette Merrill and daughters said...

Jodie you are fabulous. Is there one tiny thing you've made I don't absolutely love? Nope.
