I am such a BIG kid....

I know its kinda late in the year for this type of thing but, I finally ordered a new planner. I normally purchase one around mid-December but since I was in Trinidad, it didn't happen. To be honest, it didn't even cross my mind.  I became obsessed with fact that I didn't have one. I found myself writing notes,phone numbers and other things I needed to remember on scraps of paper only to lose them later.  My Dad, hearing my complaints, finally gave me one. It is not as detailed as planners I have used in the past and it is a little bulky. But I digressed which in turn led to me being grateful for what I had. I still wasn't thrilled with it though but I kept using it. When I returned from my trip, I got back on my daily/weekly perusal of blogs.  One of my favorite blogs, All About the Pretty had a post where she mentioned the Planner Pad system for keeping organized. See the snippet here. When I saw the post, I was immediately interested in trying it. I have a mobile phone with a planner but the electronic thing just wasn't and hasn't been working out. I have also tried other paper planners and just wasn't totally happy. I decided to Google Planner Pads and see others who either blogged about it or reviewed it. I ended up finding several rave reviews. My original plan was to wait until the 2009 to purchase it. Though they give the option of staring every quarter (April, July, October). I personally didn't want to do that. Call me anal but, I just prefer to start at the beginning.  I mentioned it to a friend and she said she would purchase the July. After the initial discussion, we just kept talking about the planner (she has a thing for All About the Pretty too :)! I decided to call the company and find out more. The representative was really nice. She sent me samples and answered all my questions. I also shared with her that I wasn't sold on the July date and she said there were still planners in the January 2008 packs.  At that point I was sold and ordered one for me and my partner in crime. Well after seven LONG agonizing days of waiting, they have finally arrived.  My plan was to wait to open the package with my buddy present, but as I said I am such a big kid, I became distracted with the box sitting on my desk. I decided to move it and kept wondering about its contents. I have NO patience. I feel kinda guilty so I am going to stop here. My buddy reads my blog so I don't want to divulge too much. I will post something about the planner once I have had an opportunity to use it.
