Nerd Alert
Dec. 31st, 2005 12:46 amEven I have to nerd alert myself on this one.
Something to know about me, I may be messy, disorganized, and generally a trainwreck in all aspects of my life but there is one shining example of organization and clarity in my life--my planner!
I have the world's best penmanship and have been using a planner since the seventh grade. I perfected the art of being anal retentive with that first planner and have had a difficult time relaxing my exacting standards since. (I used to FREAK if the planner had more than one pen color in it and went ballistic if someone else wrote in it.) I've come a long way, but I'm still freakishly controlling when it comes to that little book.
Every January is an excruciating exercise in finding a new planner. Inevitably the perfect planner changes format (and therefore becomes the imperfect planner) or the selection is either expensive or solely composed of Taschen Salvador Dali leftovers (urgh, twelve months of disturbing crap). Or the perfect planner comes only in monthly or weekly format, but not both. Or the spaces are too small. Or, or, or...
But today, after four stores and a quarter tank of gas, I found damn near the perfect planner. It's red, it's leather, it's the right size with WEEKLY and MONTHLY options. It was half off. It's heaven. I even bought a new fancy pen to fill in the appropriate details (two, black, fine point, gel).
Ah, let the nerd alert orgy begin.
*sigh*
