Are you a planner?

It's kind of ironic that I'm blogging about this since I just finished my "hit list" for this week. Yes, I need a plan. I need guidance. I need an organized way to utilize my time or I'll waste it. I need lists to stay focused. It just seems like I have so many random thoughts going through my head that if I don't write them down, I'll forget. You know how when you're walking through the house and you see something that needs attention (cleaning, moving, etc), well for some reason, if I don't write that stuff down I'll just forget. So, here are a few things on my list:
-put up Christmas tree and decorations
-address Christmas cards
-order more gifts online
-wrap presents
-clean out my purse
-get my class stuff organized
-find some outfits for upcoming parties
-pay bills
-fold laundry and put away
-work out
-color my hair
-print out titles for the store
-shop for all of these babies that are coming in the next few months!
-return clothes to Carter's
...and I'm sure more will accumulate as the day goes on.

Do you use a planner in your daily life?
Do you have the need to write things down/make lists etc?
If you do, does using a planner enhance your life? if so, how???
Share your thoughts on organizing your life.

T-minus 7 days

Until Black Friday!!! I'm so psyched about getting out in the madness this year! I went last year with my mom and sister. It's hard to do all of my shopping when we had to go places that they needed to go to as well. I'll be flying solo this year, and hopefully I'll be back home with a majority of the Christmas booty by 10am! That's my goal anyway....

So, I cannot BELIEVE Thanksgiving is less than a week away now. I'm a little sad because my sister will not be coming home. I can't remember how long it's been since I've seen her. Probably close to two months now. She moved to Charlotte, NC for work and doesn't come home that often. She's offered to fly me out there the first weekend in December. I'm thinking that I should go, but the mother in me feels guilty about leaving the family behind.

There's not much on the plate for us today. I'm so glad to finally see the SUNSHINE!!! And I'm glad to have today off! One of my co-workers had a death in the family, so I've shuffled my schedule around to help out the past three days. I've also had a hell week of call. Too much to gripe about here.

Recap from the days past...

I've been on my toes lately! We are trying to plan a family trip to the mountains for Christmas and I've been assigned the task of booking a cabin. Well it seems that everyone else has had the same thoughts, because everything seems booked! So I'm in DESPERATE need of help! If you have ever stayed in a NICE cabin somewhere around the Smokey Mts either in TN or NC please suggest a place for me. We need something with atleast 4 bedrooms and it has to be pet friendly. I'm out of places to look. I usually find our rentals from www.vrbo.com, but they aren't able to help me this time.

Anyway, I actually went clothes shopping, FOR ME, on Thursday! I have been going into my closet every day and wondering "what in the hell did I wear last winter, and where did it go?!?". I can't find any of my clothes! But, I had awesome luck at Cool Springs. My new favorite store is Buckle. I never really shopped there before because I thought they only sold jeans, but my oh my! I ended up buying five of the cutest shirts there! Very hip and rock-n-roll-ish which is my style lately. I also bought three new tops at Gap, a sweater set at The Limited, a new pair of boots from Macy's, and drumroll please....a new BODY BRA from VS that was marked 40% off! I got that stinkin' bra for $23!! Anyway, I was proud of my finds. I just can't find anything I like in Murfreesboro anymore. Hopefully the mall here will get better when it finally gets a facelift.

Yesterday I took advantage of the beautiful weather and got some final yard work done for the year. I trimmed up my daylillies and monkey grass, clipped back my mums and raked the mulch over. It was so warm and summer-ey!

Carrie wins and Faith gets pissed!

She so doesn't strike me as the type of person that would react this way, so maybe there's more to it than what we saw. I can't wait to see the media's spin on this ordeal!

On today's Oprah

I love this story, I really do. Not too many people could get away with an outrageous promise like this one, but constant comedian Kirstie Alley certainly can. I like how she is shaking things up. She doesn't have the "perfect body". But who cares? She feels comfortable with herself and that is a powerful message to send to the millions of us out there, thin or heavy, who battle weight issues every time we look in the mirror. She looks great and wants to show it off on national television? Why not?
