Planners

...okay - heinous admission - I keep them. I mean, if you think about it, and if you think about me, I mean...
OF COURSE I KEEP THEM.
THEY ARE INCREDIBLY MINUTE AND ACCURATE REPRESENTATIONS OF MY LIFE.
Or records of how busy I am.  You know - same difference.

Anyway, as 2011 draws to a close and I prepare to retire my shirtless-man-with-a-tattoo-on-his-chest-of-an-anatomically-correct-heart-with-a-speaker-in-it-and-some-wings planner, I found myself flipping through my old ones. Here are some gems I uncovered.

1. Found in the "Notes" section of June 2008

 Yes, this is comical because it is exactly what I am doing with  my life right now. Funny how, four years later, your life is pretty much the same.


2. Found in the back of my planner for 2009

 Yes, those are photocopier images of my hands and... well, my face.


3. Found in the front cover of my planner for 2010

I love this one for two reasons: first, I cannot believe I kept even the smallest memento from my first summer working at SSC, because I hated it so very much. I also can't believe I kept something from Claire because I barely knew her! (And now she happens to be my big sister/role model/bestie); second, I love it because my planner for 2011 has a sticky note passed between Claire and I (during SSC 2011) taped on the inside of the front cover! She's in the same spot both years, totally coincidentally!
