I had apple pie for breakfast.

I do most of my organizing via Outlook, but I have found that I need to change up my system every few months or I'll slack on following it. Having things be 'new' makes me more attentive.

Anne is a woman after my own heart. At least with novelty.

I have no organizational system and my life shows it. I remember liking aspects of GTD a lot, especially in just writing shit down so it could be off my internal perseveration playlist.

I am not good at planners etc and I find I balance a lot of schedules (mine, K's, my kids, the nurse, the 3 behavioral therapists to name a few of my home ones). It's a blessing that my work life is so rarely changeable in terms of schedules.

One of my AP listserv members posted that SATs ARE A good indicator of future success in college (which, from all research I have read is simply no true -- technically GPA is a much better indicator). I really want to write back but I am finding a sense of.... I don't know.. pleasure in being able to say, "Um. Don't need to engage the people in the box on every detail."

Is this actual maturity setting in?

I know you must be aiming this question at someone other than me...

I had sweet potato biscuits for breakfast. Mmmmm.

I keep a to-do list in my work notebook, and personal to-do items on scraps of paper in my purse. Analog AND inefficient!

HAHAHAH! Perhaps. But it's kind of gratifying to delete without responding. Or to delete instead of letting it sit in my inbox while I research data to respond.

ita, did you get the leftovers?

One kind of cool thing about kids is that I can hold my hand out and they will always hold it. At least so far. I think that will change soon, but I am currently enjoying it.

I can't remember who it would have been, but once I was on the street with some fairly big little kid, maybe a five year old? Anyway, we got to the curb and I just stuck out my hand, and the kid just took it, and I kind of melted. Whatever kid that was. Good times.

I find it's usually exhaustion, with me.

I love cold pumpkin pie for breakfast, but all the pie is at my mom's, and we forget to bring some home.

Breakfast here was a jalapeño spinach omelet, courtesy of last nights creamed spinach with jalapeño peppers (the Laurie Colwin recipe). Nom nom nom. Perhaps tomorrow there will be turkey hash.

Polgara said she'll get them to me today. Thanks for the feeding!
