Solution!

Today I ordered this.

I like the idea that each month is an individual small book that I can throw in my purse and take with me. OK, I have a blackberry, but what happens when I'm on my blackberry and I am talking to someone and they say "What are you doing two weeks from Tuesday?" I theoretically can say "Hold on, let me check" and then fiddle with the blackberry and find out. OR I can pull out my very cute moleskin monthly planner and tell them. Plus, they're very cute.

While I was at it I also saw this:

What is it? It's a little notebook and inside are maps of San Francisco. It looks like this inside:


When I travel I want a place to jot down notes of the restaurant I found or notes about what I want to see when I'm there, or what I experienced, but my journal doesn't seem the right place, and carrying a notebook, and a city book, and a map, that's a lot to carry. So, VOILA! The perfect solution. I can't wait to go to San Francisco and try it out! You too? I'm planning a trip for February. Wanna come? SWEET! Call me! (Yes, they do have other cities too, wish I had it when I was in Beijing!)

What I Did With My Day Off

Adventures in cooking. I made chicken pot pie.

It's good, but missing something.

Results

I made it this far.

To Do 1/6/10

Tonight I drove home from work with the sunroof open. It was 36 degrees outside but I didn't care because I was in a nice warm coat and had seat heaters going at full blast. How blessed am I?

On tonight's To Do List:

• Yoga
• Dust Living Room
• Pick up Living Room (preferably before I dust)
• Sweep Living Room and Dining Room
• Vacuum Living Room, Dining Room, and bedroom
• Eat dinner (OK, that should probably take a higher priority)
• Grocery shop? (I have milk and cereal, so this can wait until this weekend.)
• Work on Pete's sock, I only have about 3 inches left
• Analyze accounts in Texas (work)
• Start undecorating for Christmas. That's right, come into our house and you'll think it's December 24th.

9 things. I once read that you should never have more than seven items on your to do list for a day.

Annoyed

I'm a little annoyed.*

With a company called Harry and David. (or as Caryn likes to say "Steve and Joe?")

They send people things like expensive pears.

Or boxes of chocolates.

Or cookies.

Or chocolate covered graham crackers.

(They don't buy the boxes to send to you, other people buy them from Harry and David and Harry and David mail them to you.)

Harry and David shipped a nice big box of goodies off to our office last week.

A tempting yummy box of goodies.

Chocolate covered pretzels. Chocolate covered graham crackers, and other chocolatey goodness.

And this is what their allergy label said "May contain allergens not listed."

WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

I know what it means, it just MAKES ME MAD! Sheesh, you realize that anyone who is allergic to ANYTHING will never be able to eat your products?

I hate Harry AND David.

Lame.

*ok, fine a LOT annoyed.
