Good Stuff: 06.29.07, 06.30.07 & 07.01.07

06.29.07 – ‘S’ dad’s 71st birthday. Way too much excellent food, as usual. Had a nice time and enjoyed visiting with everyone.

06.30.07 – A pretty lazy day overall but did manage to accomplish some chores that needed to be completed. YAY!

07.01.07 – Went to a gem & jewelry show and saw some really pretty stuff. Purchased a case to display my loose stones in rather than keeping them hidden away in a box in my jewelry box. Pretty.

Good Stuff: 06.28.07

  • I actually took a halfway decent photo of myself today and can use it as my icon rather than some random image. ;-)
  • The boss was still out of town.
  • I am heading out the door to receive my very first CASA case after spending many hours in training. I’m super excited to be doing something good for a child in need.

All in all, a pretty good day!

So Simple, But...

It seems so simple to remember things like a friend’s birthday but last year I forgot one and haven’t really forgiven myself since. This year I remembered and sent her a gift that (unless she has it) she is really going to enjoy. Baby steps I guess.

I’ve also been making an effort to reply to emails as soon as I get them so they don’t just fall by the wayside. Any progress is good progress on a goal like this one.

Good Stuff: 06.27.07

  • The boss is out of town. Yay!!
  • Will be having dinner actually cooked at home tonight!
  • I ordered a great gift for a friend’s birthday. I think she’ll really enjoy it!

Good Stuff: 06.26.07

Ordered organizational supplies from Franklin Covey to get myself back on track from an organizational standpoint. Can’t wait for the stuff to arrive so I can get started!

Franklin Covey, My Hero

I took a seminar a couple years ago and was my most organized after. I’ve let myself slide from using this method of organizing my priorities but will be back on it soon! YAY! I ordered a new planner today that will start on 7/1 (assuming I get it in time!). I ordered the Julie Morgenstern variation because I aboslutely LOVE her. I just wish I could live by the guidelines she recommends! Wish me luck on my path to organization… I am considering this ‘Step 1’.

Good Stuff: 06.25.07

  • Received compliment on how clean and organized my office was (at least as compared to the girl I replaced ;-P).
  • Picked some lovely flowers out of the garden and put them in an antique ink bottle. Pretty.
  • Impressed ‘S’ by doing a chore he was dreading, before he got home.
