I can do this!!! (Well this part anyway)

I finally got to the part about the shopping list yesterday. Today I still know it and the two lists Dan and my daughter gave me. Oh and ----CELWPGA!!! I am so happy, excited and amazed. Okay, so without looking at the lists (I pinky swear promise that I do not have the lists in front of me) this is what I have memorized:

So, please let me know if I have made any mistakes on the first two. I noticed that some items are more difficult than others. Objects that are not familiar are easy to confuse. For example, is it a diving mask or snorkel or is that a combination thing? It's hard to get a clear picture. Some things are so familiar they take more imagination to come up with an image. The needle, for example, was such a small object I was afraid I would walk past it. Then I remembered reading in the Bible that there is an image of a camel trying to pass through the eye of a needle. So, I enlarged the needle so the camel could get it's head through and ta da I remembered it. The box was another one I was afraid to I would miss; so I put two men boxing. The cup holder is an interesting image that maybe I won't share in my blog. Anyway, I am not sure if I have the specific title of the movie from the list in the book, or as I had mentioned before the correct diving equipment. I am not extremely worried about it yet. I am very happy I got this far. I really did not think I could do this. 

My Mother asked how I did it-she says she could use some memory help. When I told her, she replied, "Oh, Honey, please don't tell anyone else how you did that. They will think you are crazy and lock you up." So much for parental support. :-) I thought you all might find that amusing. I am off to finish the book and memorize the muses. Have a great day. See you all tomorrow!
