Calendar

Years ago I had a day planner.  You know the type, a nice book with a leather cover that had gold leaf edged paper?  Now everything is electronic & I feel as if I can't get a grasp of all my To Do List items.  I do love my iPod, but it's not the same to see the "reminder" pop up on the screen.  There's just something about my crappy handwriting staring back at me from that ecru paper.  I like it!  I still have my 2007 Neiman Marcus desk planner in my desk organizer at work.  Those were the good old days where you'd spend $5,000 at Neiman Marcus & they'd reward you with a day planner.  Oh how I miss those days!  I don't even think you can buy them at Neiman Marcus any longer, but I am going to check.  I have no idea why I am keeping the old one, or why it is still taking up valuable real estate on my horrifically messy desk, but I don't want to get rid of it.  Hmmm....more hoarding tendencies, but it's just one small book!

I know I can go to the pharmacy & get another for 2011.  I even saw a similar one, but I think it said "mother's helper."  Odd, I thought valium was mother's helper.  Maybe someone is confused.  But I digress.

For 2011 I have made a few plans & I know it's good to keep a list & write everything down, but I don't like to put it on my computer.  I like to page back & forth in the book & see certain dates.  It's crazy, I know!  But writing things down have always helped me remember.  & every time I hear that "reminder" beep on my iPhone I think to myself how annoying it is & run to hit the ignore button.  Now that's not helpful at all.  We do get a bunch of the small freebie datebooks at work engraved with our company name on them, but they're cheesy.  I'm not a big fan of them.  & usually they are not leather or pink or a cool plaid.  What's wrong with these marketing people?!?!?

I think if I get a book, it will help me get my training back on track.  I ran 4 miles last night & I'm going to meet up with Suzanne tonight to stretch out my old bones.  I am very sore thanks to Yoga the other night!

& if you haven't been checking, I have, I've had another 50 hits on my blog in the past few days.  Thanks everyone!  Or at least thanks to the 3 people that keep revisiting my site.  :)
