For those of you who know me, you are already laughing. My method of organization is fly off the seat of my pants.
Dizzy and I spent the afternoon at the Lewis & Clark Library at a workshop on planners and productivity.
She was less than thrilled to have to go, but had to be with me so she could get together with friends to bowl afterwards. By the end, she was taking notes and looking through the wall of planner samples to pick one out for herself. We will be ordering one from Purple Trail for her birthday. It is what she wants, instead of a small one that won't do what she likes.
I was drooling over a Day Timer cover that was there. I can put my own stuff in it and not change types every year (I don't do change well).
As the workshop (Which was presented by the amazing JH of Knottyneedle) came to a close, I went to look one more time to make sure it was really what I wanted (and I could start a great Christmas list with all the "gadgets" I can put inside). JH had it in her hands and as I was looking at a couple of others with DIzzy to make sure she was happy with her choice, it was offered to me. I may have squealed, thought about jumping around like a crazy person and definitely hugged my good friend.
It fits my current planner, so it will live inside for now, as I don't have the energy to redo another planner (this is the second one this year, as the first one just wasn't working for me) right now, but I'll be looking to see what I can find for the new year.
Dizzy is starting volleyball, had her tryouts last week and finds out what team she made Monday. She is very excited to be able to play this year, after trying out last year and promptly tearing her mcl before practices began. She will still be able to coach her level 3 gymnasts, and is looking at a very busy fall.
Bean, as I type this, is about to run his second cross country meet of the year. I am missing my second meet of his career and getting very twitchy. He went out fast last week and ran a sub-6 minute mile for the first mile of his race. It didn't put him where he wanted to be at the end, but it helped his team win the meet. He still came in well over a minute faster than last year on that course.
Tater is at the Gold Rush football game at Montana State with her daddy. She had her first soccer practice last night and her first game tomorrow. She moved up levels this year and is playing on a 5th-8th grade level, and on a more full sized field, so it will be a huge change for her.
The Boss is headed to visit his family this week and so we will be without his assistance for a few days. I'm a bit worried, as we are hosting a spaghetti feed for the entire cross country team on Thursday, so I'm going to be a bit busy.
Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to manage some mischief!
