M.I.A.

About a month ago, I bought a day planner to help keep myself better organized. Previously, I kept my schedule on my office Outlook calendar, which syncs to my Blackberry, but I was living in fear of a technology fail which would leave me clueless and missing appointments.  So I bought the planner and filled it with the details of my life for the next few months. I meticulously logged every every work commitment, committee meeting, doctors appointment, and function I had scheduled.


You know what I did next?  I lost it.  The entire planner. I kid you not.

That's what I get for trying to get organized. Fail.

Hhahahahhaaha that is terrible! I don't mean to laugh at you... but that is funny :) Sorry you lost everything! Were you still keeping up with your schedule in outlook? Hopefully you have a backup!

ahh, I'm sorry! Maybe try being organized on your phone? email calendar? I would totally loose my planner and then just buy a new one and probably loose it too. :)

Good luck girl!

OH NO! That's the worst feeling ever. I couldn't function without my little day planner. I'm too old school to put everything in my phone. There's just something about writing it down on paper. Maybe you'll find it? I hope so, girl!

Haha! I just busted out laughing hysterically. That is my WORST fear because I only use planners like that. I can't use it on my phone or computer. That bugs me. I hope you find it!!
