How do you plan?

I was visiting today and my sweet friend LeAnn @ The Old Parsonage has made herself a new calendar/planner  for next year, click her link to see it, super cute! It made me think about a post.

How do you plan, computer, palm pilot, iSomething?

I use my phone if I need an alarm to not forget something and I went for sometime when I was doing a lousy job of remembering anything! When I forgot to pay some bills that really stunk!!

So I have a planner, buy refill every year, I just wasn’t using it. So back in June when the school year planners were out at Barnes & Noble (yes them again) I got this!

Cute huh?

I keep it in this book cover, a Vera Bradley and it holds all my fun stuff to be at hand.  

I can find all my important papers just fine in here!

I even have the current week marked and the Saturday’s I work, also Molly’s meds they are every other day and I can so easily forget so now I can just check! Got to give that tonight ;)

I also have addresses and ALL my computer passwords in here, why we have sooooo many passwords I will never know. I guess it necessary but really annoying at times!

So how do you plan? Do you have a great electronic gadget, or are you a pen and paper girl?

My weekend

 

I have been fighting this. Some stupid tracking program wouldn’t let my computer send out info. I had no email for 2 days!!

Finally figured out what it was and got my antivirus to unload the dang thing! YUCK!

I also helped my sister move her family into their new home. I haven’t seen them at all today. Mixed emotions but I don’t miss the 3 hours of screaming that started at 9 pm every night.

I have tomorrow off and will once again feel guilty I have not made a dentist appointment for one of the many things I need to have done. Need to get on that before my teeth start hurting! YUCK!

Hope you all had a good Monday. There are many Birthdays in Blogland this week so Happy Birthday everybody!

Hugs, Lisa

My work space!

Ok don’t freak out I barely post twice a week and now two in one day!!

I was blog hopping and found this cool blog that is having a fun party!!

Kids napping I’m scrapping is hosting

Workspace Wednesday!

I have been rearranging and making room for all my goodies and the laptop in my room. I was excited to have a fun way to show it to you!

Here is all my stuff, stuffed in the space I have,

Books, magazines, crafting, writing, bill paying, pencils, pens markers and really great finds I cannot hide.

I have planters, pink depression glass, baskets, boxes, shakers, milk glass, pretty up cycled cans, book ends from the dollar spot at Target, and I made my laptop fit!

The printer is under the enamel top table I am using for a desk. Great Suzanna’s find. it is on my vintage suitcases that hold many crafting items. I keep everything anymore that might make a fun project.

My chair is a curbside cutie. It holds my purse which always needs a spot.

Best part is this all sits in the middle of my great treasures. I have words and sayings that hang over me that inspire me.

Love, Believe, Delight, Create, Pray, Remember, Fabulous.

Good words to see everyday.

I have pretty candles and a lamp that keep me in the light and even though Pink is really here I have it all. This really is me. All of my things together in one spot.

I am happy here. I am glad I can spend time with you here!

Please join us for Workspace Wednesday!

Hugs, Lisa

My sweet friend Elyse @ cottage was commenting that when she uses her husband’s new laptop she can High Speed Blogging, HSB!

This arrived

and I am now HSB all over the place! I am going to visit all over with this one. But unless I take new pictures it will be a few days until I get all my pictures moved from my old computer. I also have to see about my iTunes. I should be able to BUT as we all know it is never the way it should be on a computer. I am using Windows 7 but I am still not sure how it all works.

PLAY TIME!!

I am so excited to have a computer that is up to speed I think I can even type better! lol I even have to laugh at that!

Well off to learn more about this super great new toy!

By the way it too less than 10 minutes to set up and I have almost all of my options set on it.  HP seems to be great!

Also a big shout out to QVC for getting this to me in 4 days!!! Ordered Sunday morning and it arrived on Thursday!!

Hope you guys are having a great day blogging. I am, I can actually visit you all!

Sci-Fi Sunday

I rented Star Trek and just got to watching it this morning. It was AWESOME. Heard it was too loud at the theater so I’m ok with DVD.  I watched the original Star Trek afternoons in reruns when I was in Middle school. You know the dark ages. I say that one because it was over 20 years ago and two because beta was the only way to watch movies at home and the same time Cable TV was starting.  Star Wars was the most awesome thing you could see in the theaters and  personal computers and cell phones were non existent.

So as I watch these new movies.( GI Joe was amazing too!! They both have a great story as they introduce you to the casts. It will be great if they can continue. ) I have to remember how really great it was to see these first Si-Fi greats. They were so far ahead of how we lived it was Fantasy! And we really loved it. All the computers and communicators were just awesome!

I feel really bad that the kids today don’t have that distance from the movies. I got up from watching Star Trek and picked up my LG Xenon touch screen/qwerty keyboard phone to text message my little sister about Tyler Perry being in Star Trek and think how really weird it is to use this phone that when I was 13 wasn’t even the dream of the Si-Fi writers. And I am typing this on a lap top  that is connected to the world. 

I still really enjoy all these movies. Transformers is my favorite. I think because it is so fantastic we can never have live robots that it is the last true fantasy.

Now you know I am truly a very diverse girl. I think I will spend the rest of the day watching Pride and Prejudice!
