Planner...

senoritafishFinally hit the Franklin/Covey store at lunch yesterday to get new planner pages. I am disappointed to find they no longer carry the Cranium or Shoebox versions; their licenses expired, apparently. I like the funny ones, but now I'm limited to Dilbert and The New Yorker. While I like both of them, they're both really aimed more at typical business people. I decided on the second one, but now that I've got it installed, I wish I'd gone for Dilbert. The pages are a monochrome blue and white, and while it does have cartoons, they're all shades of gray.
I did grab a package of glitter gel pens to liven things up, and the salesperson waskind enough to give me a discount because he thought the green and the blue were drying out, but now they seem to work fine. I thought one of them was purple, but it seems to be hot pink instead. Oh well, seems I am cursed to never have a purple one. Anytime I've gotten one, it's been dried out, lost by my kids, or had the cap lost, and therefore a very short life. In any case, I've declared this pack off limits, a statement which Avalon vehemently disagreed with. Quite the little drama princess.
I think I'm developing a pen addiction. I love colored pens, nice pens, and anything that looks like it would feel neat to write with, and I'm always trying sneak one in whenever I buy something. I am dangerous to myself (or at least my paycheck) in an office supply store, and I'm often found drooling over the Levenger catalog. I don't own a fountain pen, but I covet one.
What was I talking about? I suppose I should start using this planner thing the way it's meant to be used; however, I am rebelling against listing all my household chores as well as work stuff in it. It just feels too anal retentive to me...
