<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tIs it just me or do you\u00a0get excited when you finally\u00a0buy that new purse you’ve been wanting? You know the feeling, right? You can’t wait to get home and organize all of your belongings in all the fun new pockets and throw out the smashed granola bars and the business cards of people you’ve since forgotten and post-its that are total gibberish.

I’ve never owned one of those super-big calendars that have room for ALL\u00a0of\u00a0life’s details. In fact, I have a little one for work, one for personal, one for jogging, and<\/em> a pile of random post-its of things worth remembering. Maybe most people use the uploadable sort these days,\u00a0or their\u00a0smart phone.<\/p>\n But I must say, I finally upgraded to a calendar that holds it all, and it feels just like a new purse. Or a whole new year! Look at all this clean space and open air\u00a0for getting my life\u00a0organized and just so. I mentioned it to a friend and she replied, “Wait until you have a new ‘dedicated calendar’ pencil!” Maybe someday I’ll get with it and keep a digital calendar.\u00a0But for right now, mid-August, I’m\u00a0enjoying this simple upgrade. (My oversized calendar pages are blank, so I still have 12 months to go.)<\/p>\n \t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Is it just me or do you\u00a0get excited when you finally\u00a0buy that new purse you’ve been wanting?
