Vera

I had a huge moment yesterday. Let me back up. In college, there were many things I needed. Money (!!), food, text books, friends for sanity, etc etc. But there was one thing in particular that I needed. I consulted this every day. It went with me everywhere. For the last 2 years of my hectic college experience. My dear Vera Bradley planner.

Now I know this sounds crazy, but this planner organized me! And with that pretty "paprika" pattern! I was in love. I was even slightly addicted to it (I realized this when I lost it for a solid 3 days).

Since then, I have graduated from college, gotten a full time job and married JB. I said to myself "So long Vera planner, I am done with that crazy time in my life where I have to write down the 15 item to-do lists in the margins of each day's space."

Yesterday, however, I caved. I had a moment when I realized I still had zillions of dates, times, appointments, to-do's, grocery lists, phone numbers, and work schedules floating in my head!  Now, I own one of those dinky dollar store purse sized planners... but I just couldn't handle it anymore. I needed a new Vera. I am starting another job and the process of purchasing my own home! I needed something to write down all of those floating thoughts that were subconsciously stressing me out, even though I didn't even realize it.

So I bought one. A beautiful 1 and 1/2 year Vera Bradley planner! I am already filling it up and am loving every minute of it. If I sound like a psychopath, I don't care- judge if you want. But it is saving my sanity by cutely organizing my life, one day at a time! :)

don't ya love it?!?
