Always Looking for Silver Lining: Fail to Plan, Plan to fail...fail...fail...fail

I hear it in my head over and over again, yet still I lounge around. I go about my day willy-nilly as it comes. I spend my time hoping I'm on time and worrying that I have missed an appointment or a big day. So I will get up tomorrow and get back on track! Yup- I said it every day for over 20 days now. I have yet to get back on track... I have yet to even get close to it. I have to get out of this F U N K !!!! So I hear my sweet sweet friend in my head again, "Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail" then the reverberating echo fail, fail, fail..... So my precious sweet friend got me a gorgeous planner today that I am going to make myself stay in love with (which will keep me in line).

It is soooooo pretty! Thanks Renee! Did I tell you how wonderful my dear friend Renee is?
When I finally got home today, I knew I wanted to start working in this planner.... I do have mild planner fever. I have been drooling over Erin Condren and Kikki K for months... but I am not willing to put that kind of money into self organization- and why should I? Renee found these planners at 75% off today and because she is a ninja- knew just where to take them (to Staples) to put them on a heavy duty spiral binding... I would never have thought of that. I love pretty things. But I really love pretty things when they don't cost a lot of money. Back to where I was... when I came home tonight I started on my planner. I pulled out some card-making/scrap-booking/crafting stuff I had on hand and got to work. Here is my current February planner page.

I love how pretty my pages look. I love that my existing appointments are written down with the times! Who knew!!! I love the little clips I made to keep my pages where I want them. As of this moment I feel like I can conquer the world, one organized moment at a time! Now just to look into those goals I set (but not tonight).
So, I haven't been a complete bum lately. I have been busy with school and Church, and working the concession stand for our school ball teams. I have even made time to do a few crafts. I will leave you with a few pics of what has been going on this month, then tomorrow I will be back with a fresh log post showing you how committed I am to you. Thanks for reading and spending time with me.
