Organized
my 2011 calendar…. I really wish I were better organized than I am, but (you saw that ‘but’ coming a mile away, didn’t you?)……..but I’m not. People who are not organized always have a million reasons why not. I think we spend more time thinking up excuses than it would take to simply get organized!…

Fighting the Good Fight
Did I ever mention how much I hate computers? Or at least software upgrades? My perfectly good camera/picture editing software from Kodak was just dandy. Simple and essentially idiot proof.

Mug Rugs
